 ## [Unreleased]
 
-### Added — Alpha build (v0.1.0-alpha.1)
+### Added — Beta build (v0.2.0-beta.1)
+
+- **Voice in/out wired end-to-end through the Flutter UI.** Per DEC-001
+  this reaches the Internal Beta milestone. Build hash: see the
+  `v0.2.0-beta.1` git tag.
+- `crates/chanora_audio/` promoted from scaffold to a working engine:
+  - cpal-based capture (mic gain, linear resampling to 48 kHz, mono
+    down-mix) and playback (48 kHz stereo, requested config).
+  - `audiopus::Encoder` for Opus VoIP encoding (20 ms / 960-sample
+    mono frames).
+  - `tsclientlib::audio::AudioHandler` for the decode + per-client
+    jitter buffer + mix on the playback side.
+  - Push-to-talk gate: encoder is bypassed entirely when PTT is off,
+    so no spurious silence frames leak out.
+  - Graceful playback-only fallback: if the host has no usable mic
+    (typical for headless CI / users who deny the mic permission),
+    capture logs a warning and the engine continues with output only.
+    `AudioEngine::capture_active()` exposes this for the UI.
+  - Live counters: `frames_sent` / `frames_received` / `ptt()`.
+- `crates/chanora_protocol/` extended with voice channels:
+  - `ProtocolClient::voice_out()` returns a clonable
+    `mpsc::Sender<OutPacket>` for outbound frames.
+  - `ProtocolClient::take_voice_in()` returns a one-shot
+    `mpsc::Receiver<InboundVoice>` of decoded `S2C` / `S2CWhisper`
+    packets, with the originating `from_client` ID extracted.
+  - Re-exports the few `tsproto_packets::packets` types (`OutAudio`,
+    `OutPacket`, `InAudioBuf`, `AudioData`, `CodecType`, `Direction`)
+    that `chanora_audio` legitimately needs. This is the **only**
+    deliberate cross-crate type re-export; per SAD-067 the audio
+    path is performance-sensitive and a parallel type hierarchy
+    would force a copy per 20 ms frame.
+  - Connection task interleaves outbound voice (drained first per
+    loop iteration), event pumping, and control-request handling.
+- `core/chanora_core::ChanoraSession` audio API:
+  - `start_audio(AudioEngineConfig)` — starts the engine attached to
+    the active connection. Idempotent.
+  - `set_ptt(bool)` — toggles transmission. No-op without an engine.
+  - `audio_stats()` → `(frames_sent, frames_received, ptt_active)`.
+  - `disconnect()` now stops the engine before disconnecting the
+    protocol task.
+- `crates/chanora_bridge/` audio surface:
+  - `start_audio()`, `set_ptt(active)`, `audio_stats()` Dart-callable
+    commands.
+  - `BridgeAudioStats { frames_sent, frames_received, ptt_active }`
+    DTO.
+  - Mapped `CoreError::AudioNotStarted` and `CoreError::Audio(_)`
+    arms in `BridgeError::From<CoreError>`.
+- `apps/chanora_flutter/`:
+  - Beta UI rewrite of `main.dart`: "Start audio" button after
+    connect; hold-to-talk button with pressed/released visual state;
+    live audio-stats line below the PTT (`TX … frames • RX … frames
+    • PTT on/off`).
+  - ARB key set expanded with `startAudioAction`, `pttHoldToTalk`,
+    `pttTransmitting`, `audioStatsLine` in both `en` and `zh-Hans`.
+  - `test/beta_e2e_test.dart` exercises the full
+    Dart → FRB → chanora_bridge → chanora_core → chanora_audio
+    path against `cn.teamspeak.app`. Verifies connect, audio start,
+    PTT toggle, disconnect.
+- `flutter_rust_bridge.yaml` now sets `local: true` so the codegen
+  resolves the workspace member's library name correctly. Without
+  this, the generated Dart side fell back to `libUNKNOWN.so` and
+  failed to load the cdylib.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `flutter_rust_bridge.yaml`: added `local: true`.
+- `chanora_bridge::api`: `BridgeError::From<CoreError>` now maps
+  `CoreError::AudioNotStarted` to `BridgeError::InvalidCommand` and
+  `CoreError::Audio(_)` to `BridgeError::Connection`.
+- `apps/chanora_flutter/test/widget_test.dart`: banner-string
+  expectations updated from "Alpha build" to "Beta build" and from
+  "Alpha 版本" to "Beta 版本".
+- `docs/governance/product-decision-register.md` bumped to v0.9.7
+  with a Beta-milestone change-history entry. No decision rows
+  change.
+- `docs/governance/poc-results-summary.md` bumped to v0.6.0 with a
+  Beta-milestone change-history entry; RISK-PoC-005 updated to
+  reflect Beta progress.
+
+### Notes (Beta scope honesty)
+
+- DSP chain (AEC / AGC / NS / HPF per DEC-007..010) is **not yet
+  implemented**. `AudioEffects` exists as a struct but its filters
+  are no-ops in v0.2.0-beta.1. Real DSP is queued for Beta+ work.
+- The capture resampler is a simple linear interpolator. Production
+  quality requires a proper resampler in Beta+.
+- Identity is still ephemeral per connect; persistence via
+  `chanora_storage` is queued.
+- No live event stream into Dart yet — the UI fetches snapshots and
+  audio stats on a timer instead of subscribing to push events.
+- `chanora_diagnostics` is still a scaffold; no redaction wired into
+  `tracing` yet.
+- Audio engine is desktop-only in this Beta. Mobile bundle of the
+  bridge cdylib + UI verification was proven by the PoC but is not
+  re-built into product code in this milestone.
+
+### Carry-over from Alpha (v0.1.0-alpha.1)
 
 - **First Alpha build wires the connect → snapshot → disconnect cycle
   end-to-end from the Flutter UI to a live TeamSpeak-compatible

 //!
-//! Audio subsystem. Per SAD §7.2:
+//! Audio subsystem promoted from `poc/audio-capture-playback-spike`
+//! and wired against `chanora_protocol`'s voice channels.
 //!
-//! * capture from the platform default input device
-//! * DSP chain: high-pass filter → noise suppression → echo
-//!   cancellation → automatic gain control → gate
-//!   (per-effect defaults: DEC-007..010)
-//! * Opus encode/decode
-//! * jitter buffer, mixer
-//! * playback to the platform default output device
+//! ## What's wired in this Beta
 //!
-//! Crate selection per DEC-011.1: `cpal` on desktop and Android.
-//! iOS audio crate remains deferred.
+//! * Default-input capture via `cpal` (DEC-011.1)
+//! * Frame-aligned 20 ms / 48 kHz mono Opus encoding via `audiopus`
+//! * Forward encoded frames to the protocol crate as `OutPacket`s
+//! * Inbound voice packets fed to `tsclientlib::audio::AudioHandler`
+//!   which owns Opus decode + per-client jitter buffer + mix
+//! * Mixed f32 PCM pulled by the cpal output callback at 48 kHz stereo
+//! * Push-to-talk: capture stream is permanently open; encoding is
+//!   gated by an atomic `ptt_active` flag
 //!
-//! Empirical evidence from PoC:
-//! `poc/audio-capture-playback-spike` (Linux/PipeWire) +
-//! `poc/audio-capture-playback-android-spike` (Android 14 arm64-v8a,
-//! physical device).
+//! ## What's NOT wired in this Beta
 //!
-//! ## Status
-//!
-//! Scaffold only. PoC code is not promoted here yet.
+//! * AEC / AGC / NS / HPF DSP chain (DEC-007/008/009/010 — Beta+
+//!   work; the toggles in `AudioEffects` are honoured by *naming*
+//!   but the filters are no-ops)
+//! * Mobile audio paths (DEC-011.1 desktop + Android proven; this
+//!   integration is desktop-only for v0.2.0-beta.1)
+//! * Hot-plug device-change handling
+//! * Sample-rate adaptation if the device cannot do 48 kHz / mono in
+//!   the format we request (returns `AudioError::StreamConfig`)
+//! * Multi-channel speaker layouts beyond stereo
