🔍 Issues Found

Critical Issues: None

Minor Issues

1. Inconsistent Heading Format (English version)

Location: websocket-voice-assistant-quick-start.md:128

The step numbering is inconsistent:

• Steps 1-4 use format: ### 1. Clone the repo
• Step 5 uses: ### 5) Talk to your assistant (with parenthesis instead of period)

Recommendation: Change line 128 to match the format of other steps:

### 5. Talk to your assistant

2. Formatting Inconsistency in Chinese Version

Location: websocket-voice-assistant-quick-start.cn.md:50

The "Bun" heading uses bold markdown instead of heading format:

**Bun（JavaScript 包管理器）**

While "Task" uses proper heading format:

#### Task（任务运行器）

Recommendation: Change line 50 to use consistent heading format:

#### Bun（JavaScript 包管理器）

The same issue occurs on line 57 for "uv":

**uv（Python 包管理器）**

Should be:

#### uv（Python 包管理器）

3. Broken Link in English Version (Line 342)

Location: websocket-voice-assistant-quick-start.md:342

The extension development guide link uses the Chinese (/cn/) path:

- **[Extension development guide](https://theten.ai/cn/docs/ten_framework/development/how_to_develop_with_ext)**

Recommendation: Should link to the English docs:

- **[Extension development guide](https://theten.ai/docs/ten_framework/development/how_to_develop_with_ext)**

The same applies to line 345:

- **[Documentation hub](https://theten.ai/cn/docs)**

Should be:

- **[Documentation hub](https://theten.ai/docs)**

4. Shell-Specific Assumption

Location: Both files, line 64

The reload instruction assumes zsh:

source ~/.zshrc

Recommendation: Make it shell-agnostic:

> 💡 After installation, reload your shell config (e.g., `source ~/.bashrc` or `source ~/.zshrc`)

📝 Suggestions for Enhancement

1. Security Best Practice

Consider adding a note about not committing the .env file to version control:

> ⚠️ **Security Note**: Never commit your `.env` file to version control. Ensure `.env` is listed in your `.gitignore`.

2. Docker Prerequisites

The monitoring section uses Docker but doesn't list it as a prerequisite. Consider adding Docker to the requirements section or noting it's only needed for the monitoring feature.

3. Path Navigation

The documentation has several cd commands. Consider adding a note at the beginning about the working directory context, or use absolute paths where possible to reduce confusion.

🔧 Dependency Updates Review

Lock File Changes

The PR includes updates to:

• bun.lock: axios version update (1.13.1 → 1.7.9) - Good security practice
• manifest-lock.json: Multiple extension version updates

Observations:

1. The axios update likely addresses security vulnerabilities ✅
2. Platform change in manifest-lock.json from "os": "linux" to "os": "mac" suggests this was built on macOS - this might be unintentional for a shared repository

Recommendation: Verify the manifest-lock.json changes are intentional. The OS-specific lock might cause issues for Linux users.

✅ Code Quality Assessment

Documentation Quality: 9/10

• Well-written, clear, and comprehensive
• Minor formatting inconsistencies (easily fixable)

Technical Accuracy: 10/10

• All paths verified to exist in the repository
• Configuration examples match the actual property.json structure
• Commands and tool versions are appropriate

Test Coverage: N/A (Documentation only)

Security: 8/10

• API keys properly referenced via environment variables ✅
• Could benefit from explicit security warnings about .env files

🎯 Recommendations

Must Fix (Before Merge)

1. Fix the inconsistent step numbering format (English, line 128)
2. Fix heading format inconsistencies (Chinese, lines 50 and 57)
3. Fix broken links in English version (lines 342, 345)

Should Fix (Nice to Have)

1. Make shell reload command shell-agnostic
2. Verify manifest-lock.json OS platform change is intentional
3. Add security note about .env files
4. Add Docker to prerequisites if monitoring section is important

Consider for Future

1. Add screenshots of the UI
2. Add a video walkthrough link
3. Include performance benchmarks or expected resource usage

🎉 Conclusion

This is a high-quality documentation PR that significantly improves the developer experience for the TEN Framework. The documentation is comprehensive, well-structured, and user-friendly. The issues found are minor formatting inconsistencies that are easy to fix.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve after addressing the "Must Fix" items

Great work on creating such thorough bilingual documentation! The step-by-step approach and inclusion of troubleshooting tips will be very helpful for users getting started with the WebSocket voice assistant.

Pull Request Review: WebSocket Voice Assistant Quick-Start Documentation

Thank you for this contribution! This PR adds comprehensive quick-start documentation for the WebSocket voice assistant example. Overall, this is a valuable addition that will help users get started quickly. Below is my detailed feedback:

✅ Strengths

1. Excellent Documentation Structure

• Clear step-by-step instructions with estimated timelines

📝 Issues & Suggestions

1. Title Typo (Minor)

Location: PR title
Issue: "besed" → "based"
Fix: Update PR title to: feat: add voice assistant based on ws quick-start doc

2. Lock Files Should Not Be Modified (Important)

Location:

• ai_agents/agents/examples/websocket-example/frontend/bun.lock:1-2
• ai_agents/agents/examples/websocket-example/tenapp/manifest-lock.json:4-720

Issue: According to the repository's CLAUDE.md guidelines:

IMPORTANT: Do not modify files that are ignored by git - they are automatically generated or managed by build tools.

• manifest-lock.json - Generated by tman during dependency resolution

Concern: These lock files appear to be auto-generated:

1. bun.lock - Added configVersion: 0 and upgraded axios from ^1.13.1 to ^1.7.9
2. manifest-lock.json - Bulk version updates for 26+ TEN extensions and runtime packages

Questions:

• Were these lock file changes intentional or accidental?
• If intentional, should they be in a separate PR focused on dependency updates?
• The axios upgrade is a good security practice (v1.7.9 includes security fixes), but it's unrelated to documentation

Recommendation:

• If the lock file changes were unintended: Revert them and keep only the documentation files
• If intentional: Split into two PRs:
  1. This PR: Documentation only
  2. Separate PR: Dependency updates with changelog explaining the upgrades

3. Documentation Path References (Minor)

Location:

• docs/getting-started/websocket-voice-assistant-quick-start.md:72
• docs/getting-started/websocket-voice-assistant-quick-start.cn.md:72

Issue: The documentation references:

cd ten-framework/ai_agents/agents/examples/websocket-example

Suggestion: Verify this path is correct. Based on the repo structure, users might clone into different locations. Consider adding:

# If you're already in the ten-framework directory:
cd ai_agents/agents/examples/websocket-example

4. Shell Assumptions (Minor)

Location: Line 64 (both files)

Issue:

> 💡 After installation, reload your shell config: `source ~/.zshrc`

Suggestion: Not all users use zsh. Make it more generic:

> 💡 After installation, reload your shell config: 
> - For zsh: `source ~/.zshrc`
> - For bash: `source ~/.bashrc` or `source ~/.bash_profile`
> - Or simply restart your terminal

5. Broken Link in Chinese Version (Critical)

Location: docs/getting-started/websocket-voice-assistant-quick-start.cn.md:342

Issue:

- **[扩展开发指南](https://theten.ai/cn/docs/ten_framework/development/how_to_develop_with_ext)**

The English version uses the same URL. The Chinese version should point to the Chinese documentation path if available, or clarify that it's in English.

6. Documentation Hub Link (Minor)

Location: Last line of both files

Issue: Both versions link to https://theten.ai/cn/docs (Chinese path)

Fix: English version should link to https://theten.ai/docs or https://theten.ai/en/docs

Pull Request Review

Thank you for adding comprehensive documentation for the WebSocket voice assistant quick-start and logging API! This is valuable content that will help users get started quickly. Here's my detailed review:

🎯 Overall Assessment

Positive aspects:

• Comprehensive documentation covering logging API across all supported languages (C++, Python, Go, Node.js)
• Clear quick-start guide with step-by-step instructions
• Good coverage of advanced topics (log configuration, OTLP, Grafana monitoring)
• Both English and Chinese versions provided

Areas for improvement:

• Critical typo in PR title and commit message
• Structural inconsistencies between EN/CN versions
• Dependency updates included without clear justification

🐛 Issues Found

Critical: Typo in PR Title and Commit

Location: PR title and first commit message
Issue: "besed" should be "based"
Current: feat: add voice assistant besed on ws quick-start doc
Should be: feat: add voice assistant based on ws quick-start doc

Impact: This typo is visible in the git history and PR title.

Moderate: Structural Inconsistencies (EN vs CN docs)

Location: docs/getting-started/websocket-voice-assistant-quick-start.*.md

The English and Chinese versions have different heading structures:

English has these sections missing from Chinese:

• #### Bun (JavaScript package manager) - CN has this in bold text instead of heading
• #### uv (Python package manager) - CN has this in bold text instead of heading
• ##### Example: switch ASR to Azure - CN missing this level 5 heading
• ##### Example: switch TTS to Minimax - CN missing this level 5 heading
• #### Logs (export) - CN has different heading name ("配置 Metrics 输出")
• #### Metrics (export) - CN missing this heading
• #### Metrics (Dashboards) - CN has "查看 Metrics"
• #### Logs (Explore/Loki) - CN has "查看 Logs"

Recommendation: Ensure both versions have matching document structure with equivalent headings at the same levels.

Minor: Inconsistent Heading Formatting (CN version)

Location: docs/getting-started/websocket-voice-assistant-quick-start.cn.md:50-58

**Bun（JavaScript 包管理器）**

...

**uv（Python 包管理器）**

These should be level 4 headings (####) to match the English version:

#### Bun（JavaScript 包管理器）

...

#### uv（Python 包管理器）

Minor: Dependency Updates Without Context

Location:

• ai_agents/agents/examples/websocket-example/frontend/bun.lock - axios version bump (1.13.1 → 1.7.9)
• ai_agents/agents/examples/websocket-example/tenapp/manifest-lock.json - 52 package version updates

Issue: The PR description is empty and doesn't explain why these dependency updates are included. According to CLAUDE.md guidelines:

IMPORTANT: Do not modify files that are ignored by git - they are automatically generated or managed by build tools.
Common auto-generated files in this repository: manifest-lock.json - Generated by tman during dependency resolution

Recommendation:

• Add PR description explaining why dependency updates are included
• If these were auto-generated during development, consider whether they should be in a separate PR
• The axios security update (1.13.1 → 1.7.9) is good but should be called out explicitly
