Worked across 3 repo(s) today.

• pax-heliopause: 3 change(s)
• pax-helios: 3 change(s)
• pax-station: 3 feature(s), 1 fix(es), 1 change(s)

3 feature(s) landed.

• retire Hermes' DRBD mode — object store is the only model (pax-station)
• "hermes": false in the fleet file — a node that must never lead (pax-station)
• the VIP follows the lease (follow-VIP is off) (pax-station)

1 bug fix(es) shipped.

• six things still asked "is ~/.hermes a mountpoint" (pax-station)

7 other change(s) of note.

• COPILOT §5.3 — voices on the command line and making one (helios v0.204.0) (pax-heliopause)
• COPILOT — the swarm lines as built (helios v0.202.0) (pax-heliopause)
• probe events name their system and probe rows carry system/next names — what the copilot says about the swarm (helios v0.202.0) (pax-heliopause)
• --say= --voice= --wav= runs the in-game voice engine alone (phonemes printed, wav written); pack_voice.py list/blend/remove makes a voice as a weighted blend of the eight; Settings cycles the voices this machine has (voices.bin + the sidecar's) (pax-helios)
• Settings in three tabs — CONTROLS, GAME & DISPLAY, AUDIO & COPILOT — so the bindings never leave the screen (this Clay pass cannot clip, so nothing scrolls; each tab fits by construction) (pax-helios)
