feat: Step 7 & 9 - AI Chat + Voice client integration

Implement AI-powered chat interface with voice input capabilities.

Step 7 (Chat Interface):
- Create ChatInterface component with Vercel AI SDK useChat hook
- Create /api/chat route using Google Gemini (gemini-1.5-flash)
- Implement thoughtful interviewer system prompt
- Add real-time message streaming
- Auto-scroll to latest messages

Step 9 (Voice Client):
- Create MicrophoneRecorder component
- Integrate real-time voice transcription via Deepgram
- Direct WebSocket connection using temporary tokens
- Real-time transcript display in chat input
- Auto-submit on speech_final event
- Add @tabler/icons-react for microphone icons

Architecture:
- Client requests temporary Deepgram token from /api/voice-token
- MediaRecorder captures audio in 250ms chunks
- WebSocket sends audio directly to Deepgram
- Transcripts update chat input in real-time
- Final transcript auto-submits to AI chat

Security:
- Deepgram API key never exposed to client
- Temporary tokens expire in 60 seconds
- Chat requires authentication via SurrealDB JWT

Testing:
- Add magnitude test for voice recording flow
- Tests cover happy path with mocked WebSocket

Known Issue:
- Page compilation needs debugging (useChat import path verified)

-## **Commit 6: Core Write-Through Cache API**
+## **Commit 7: AI Interviewer: UI & Backend**
 
 ### **Objective**
 
-Implement the POST /api/nodes route. This is the core "write-through cache" logic, which is the architectural foundation of the application. It must:
+Build the conversational chat interface using the Vercel AI SDK. This includes:
 
-1. Authenticate the user via their SurrealDB JWT.  
+1. A chat UI (client) that passes a persona in the request body.  
-2. Retrieve their ATproto access token (from the encrypted cookie).  
+2. An API route (server) that receives the persona and injects it into the system prompt.  
-3. **Step 1 (Truth):** Publish the new node to their PDS using the com.ponderants.node lexicon.  
+3. **Crucially:** Using the AI SDK's tool or schema feature to force the AI to return a specific JSON object when it detects a "complete thought".18 This is far more reliable than prompt-based JSON instructions.
-4. **Step 2 (Cache):** Generate a gemini-embedding-001 vector from the node's body.  
-5. **Step 3 (Cache):** Write the node, its atp\_uri, and its embedding to our SurrealDB cache.
 
 ### **Implementation Specification**
 
-**1\. Create lib/db.ts**
+**1\. Define Structured Output Schema (lib/ai-schemas.ts)**
 
-Create a helper file at /lib/db.ts for connecting to SurrealDB:
+Create a file at /lib/ai-schemas.ts to define the Zod schema for the AI's structured output:
 
 TypeScript
 
-import { Surreal } from 'surrealdb.js';

- \* @param {string} token \- The user's app-specific (SurrealDB) JWT.  
+ \* we want the AI to be able to generate. We will pass  
+ \* this to the Vercel AI SDK to guarantee the AI's output  
+ \* conforms to this shape. \[18\]  
  \*/  
-export async function connectToDB(token: string) {  
+export const NodeSuggestionSchema \= z.object({  
-  if (\!db.connected) {  
+  action: z.literal('suggest\_node'),  
-    await db.connect(process.env.SURREALDB\_URL\!);  
+  title: z  
-  }  
+   .string()  
-    
+   .describe('A concise, descriptive title for the thought node.'),  
-  // Authenticate as the user for this request.  
+  body: z  
-  // This enforces the row-level security (PERMISSIONS)  
+   .string()  
-  // defined in the schema for all subsequent queries.  
+   .describe('The full, well-structured content of the thought node.'),  
-  await db.authenticate(token);  
-    
-  return db;  
-}
-
-**2\. Create lib/ai.ts**
-
-Create a helper file at /lib/ai.ts for AI operations:
-

-
-import { GoogleGenerativeAI } from '@google/generative-ai';
-
-const genAI \= new GoogleGenerativeAI(process.env.GOOGLE\_API\_KEY\!);
-
-const embeddingModel \= genAI.getGenerativeModel({  
-  model: 'gemini-embedding-001',  
 });
 
-/\*\*  
+export type NodeSuggestion \= z.infer\<typeof NodeSuggestionSchema\>;
- \* Generates a vector embedding for a given text.  
- \* @param text The text to embed.  
- \* @returns A 1536-dimension vector (Array\<number\>).  
- \*/  
-export async function generateEmbedding(text: string): Promise\<number\> {  
-  try {  
-    const result \= await embeddingModel.embedContent(text);  
-    return result.embedding.values;  
-  } catch (error) {  
-    console.error('Error generating embedding:', error);  
-    throw new Error('Failed to generate AI embedding.');  
-  }
