1. User says "Jarvis, <command>"
2. Vosk detects wake word
3. Audio captured and transcribed
4. Command text sent to Assistant
5. Blocklist checked (security)
6. Safety checks performed
7. Command sent to Ollama
8. Response generated
9. Text-to-speech processes response
10. Audio played through speakers
11. UI shows speaker animation
12. Status logged to files/backups
Default Blocklist:
├── Destructive Operations (8 patterns)
│ └── format, del /s, rm -rf, shutdown, poweroff, reboot, halt, kill -9
├── Security Threats (5 patterns)
│ └── hack, crack, malware, virus, exploit
├── Sensitive Data (4 patterns)
│ └── password, credit card, social security, bank account
├── System Compromise (3 patterns)
│ └── disable antivirus, disable firewall, disable security
└── Network Attacks (4 patterns)
└── scan networks, flood networks, ddos, spam
Customizable in settings.json via:
"security": {
"enable_blocklist": true,
"blocklist": [...custom patterns...]
}Disabled by default (safety first)

Backup System:
├── Auto-creates timestamped backups
├── Retains 5 most recent backups
├── Automatic restoration on corruption
└── User can restore any previous backup
Logging System:
├── All errors logged with timestamp
├── JSON format for parsing
├── Includes full stack traces
├── Located in logs/jarvis_errors.log
Fallback Chain:
1. Try modern Slint UI
2. Fall back to Tkinter if Slint fails
3. Fall back to console if UI fails
4. Graceful exit with error report
