CAAL Tool API & Registry

This release introduces the CAAL Tool API - a complete system for building, sharing, and installing voice-callable tools. Browse community tools, install with one click, and share your own workflows with the registry.

Tool Registry

• Browse & install community tools directly from the CAAL web UI
• Category browsing across Smart Home, Media, Homelab, Productivity, Developer, Utilities, Sports, and Social
• Search, sort, and filter to find the right tool
• Guided installation with credential and variable configuration
• Install tracking shows which tools are from the registry vs custom

Tool Submission

• Share to Registry button for your custom workflows
• Client-side sanitization - secrets never leave your network
• GitHub OAuth - PRs attributed to you via fork-based submission
• Automated review - bot validates structure, security, and quality
• LLM metadata generation - auto-suggests name, category, description, and voice triggers

Tool Management

• Installed Tools view with card and list modes
• Registry sync shows update availability
• Workflow detail modal with n8n link for installed tools

Multilingual Support (i18n)

• Three languages: English, French, Italian
• Full-stack i18n: Web frontend, mobile app, and voice agent
• Language selector in setup wizard and settings
• Localized prompts per language in prompt/{lang}/default.md
• Language-aware TTS: Auto-selects Piper voices for non-English
• Wake greetings per language with file-based storage
• 12-item checklist in docs/I18N.md for adding new languages

Thanks to @mmaudet for the i18n foundation!

Documentation
