Breaking Behavior Change:
- Extra button NOW only works when handset is OFF-hook (during call)
- Previous: worked when on-hook (idle) - REVERSED
- Reason: Button is for guests to trigger during their call/recording
New Feature - Greeting Delay:
- Add greeting_delay_seconds to config.json (0-10 seconds)
- Delays greeting playback after handset pickup
- Gives guests time to position phone comfortably
- Default: 0 (plays immediately, backward compatible)
Extra Button Logic:
- Only responds when phone_status == "off_hook"
- Ignored when phone is on-hook (idle)
- Can be pressed during greeting or recording
- Plays entire sound without interruption
- Useful for: "Press button to hear special message"
Greeting Delay Use Cases:
- Wedding: Give guests moment to settle in
- Events: Time to position phone comfortably
- Accessibility: Extra time for elderly guests
- Professional: Pause before message delivery
Configuration:
{
"system": {
"greeting_delay_seconds": 2, // 2 second pause
"extra_button_sound": "surprise.wav"
}
}
Console Output:
- "Extra button ignored - phone is on hook" (when idle)
- "Waiting X seconds before greeting..." (delay active)
- "=== Extra button pressed ===" (during call)

Bug Fixes:
- Extra button now plays sound completely (was stopping immediately)
- Added check_hook_status parameter to play_sound_file()
- Button sounds play with check_hook_status=False (always complete)
- Greeting sounds play with check_hook_status=True (stop if hung up)
Behavior Changes:
- Extra button ONLY works when phone is on-hook (not in use)
- Prevents button from interfering with active calls
- Clear console message when button pressed during call
- Sound plays completely without hook status interruption
Technical Details:
- Modified play_sound_file() to accept check_hook_status parameter
- Changed while loop condition from "and" to conditional break
- Added on-hook check in play_extra_button_sound()
- Greeting playback still stops if handset hung up mid-message
This ensures:
✓ Button sounds always play completely
✓ Button only works when phone not in use
✓ Greeting playback can still be interrupted by hanging up
✓ No audio conflicts between button and phone calls

Breaking Changes:
- Configuration now via config.json instead of editing Python code
- Remove all hardcoded paths (no more /home/berwn)
- Separate system config (config.json) from runtime config (user_config.json)
Features:
- config.example.json with all configurable options
- GPIO pin and state configuration
- Audio device index configuration
- Customizable paths (relative or absolute)
- Web port and upload size settings
- No code editing required for deployment
Configuration Structure:
- gpio: hook_pin, hook_pressed_state
- audio: device_index, chunk_size, channels, sample_rate, max_record_seconds
- paths: base_dir, recordings_dir, sounds_dir
- web: port, max_upload_size_mb
- system: active_greeting, default_volume
Script automatically:
- Checks for config.json on startup
- Provides helpful error if missing
- Uses relative paths by default
- Loads test_complete.py config from same file
Updated Documentation:
- Complete configuration guide in README
- Setup instructions without hardcoded paths
- Troubleshooting for config errors
- Device index discovery command
