Harness Starter Audio

Harness Starter: Audio

An audio workflow starter. Synthesizes a tiny 440 Hz WAV clip as a standin for a real TTS engine. Copy this crate when you want to build an app that ships an audio deliverable (TTS, podcast render, sound effect generation, etc.).

What this starter demonstrates

• Multi-validator contract: file_exists:$primary_audio and file_size_min:$primary_audio:4096.
• Named artifact (primary_audio) plus role alias (primary).
• Glob-based resolution (audio/*.wav).
• on_failure: ["notify_user:..."] for structured failure reporting.

See docs/OCTOS_HARNESS_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md for the full contract.

Tools

synthesize_clip

Synthesize a short WAV clip for a label.

{"label": "weekly digest", "duration_ms": 1000}

Parameters:

• label (required): used to derive the filename (audio/weekly-digest.wav).
• duration_ms (optional): clip duration in ms, clamped to [100, 5000]. Default 500.

Artifact:

• writes audio/<slug>.wav
• policy primary_audio = "audio/*.wav" resolves to this path.
• file_size_min:$primary_audio:4096 enforces non-empty output.

Replace this stub

The synthesizer produces a pure sine tone; it is not a real TTS. When adopting the starter, replace render_sine_wav with your render engine (piper, eSpeak, ElevenLabs, Coqui, etc.) and keep the rest of the contract unchanged.
