 The companion never performs ASR in this MVP. Audio is normalized to 16 kHz mono signed 16-bit PCM, held in bounded memory, and sent to the paired Lumi host over TLS WebSockets. HTTP/WS works only for a package generated from the exact matching loopback Lumi origin. The OBS bridge talks only to the companion over a same-user named pipe.
