docs: add user-facing feature inventory with field-test status
Capability list of what PeerSpeak already does, companion to ARCHITECTURE.md, so the feature surface doesn't have to be re-derived from the code each session. Marks each row verified / tests-green / plumbing, and collects the outstanding 2-machine field-test debt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# PeerSpeak Feature Inventory
|
||||
|
||||
A capability list of what PeerSpeak **already does**, so we don't keep
|
||||
re-deriving it. This is the user-facing companion to `ARCHITECTURE.md` (which
|
||||
covers internals). When you ship a feature, add it here.
|
||||
|
||||
**Field-test status legend:**
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **Verified** — confirmed working on a real call (usually desktop ↔ dopedart).
|
||||
- 🧪 **Tests-green** — unit-tested and/or smoke-tested locally, but **not** yet
|
||||
exercised on a real 2-machine call. Treat as unproven.
|
||||
- ⚙️ **Plumbing** — wiring/persistence that has no separate field test of its own.

## Known field-test debt (the 🧪 rows above, collected)
|
||||
|
||||
Re-run on a real desktop ↔ dopedart call before calling these done:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Echo cancellation** — 2-machine call *through speakers* (the only path that
|
||||
actually exercises AEC).
|
||||
2. **Mix-bus soft limiter** — A/B a hot signal.
|
||||
3. **Local call recording** — solo + 2-machine, verify the WAV.
|
||||
4. **In-room text chat** — 2-machine delivery.
|
||||
5. **Adaptive jitter buffer** — behaviour under real packet loss/jitter.
|
||||
6. **Chat drawer** — toggle + persistence across restart.
|
||||
|
||||
## Not built (candidate features)
|
||||
|
||||
Things that came up but **do not** exist yet:
|
||||
|
||||
- Soundboard (play short clips into the call mix).
|
||||
- Video / screen share.
|
||||
- Invite links beyond the raw ticket / room persistence.
