matching engine open-sourced

voice prompts in onboarding
step 6 of onboarding, optional. record up to thirty seconds in your own voice. whisper transcribes privately, the words fold into your matching embedding alongside the text prompts. the recording is yours alone, never exposed to other users.

letters mode
every chat now has a letters-mode toggle. flip it on, your replies reach the other soul ~24h after you send them. pen-pal pacing, on demand. either side can turn it on.

compatibility paragraph on every mutual reveal
claude now writes a 50-80 word paragraph naming why two souls vibe, alongside the icebreaker. it reads the actual content of both prompts and references real specifics, never sycophantic. early example: 'these two move through the world the same way, slowly, deliberately, with attention paid to what most people walk past.'
