The system stops listening for the voicemail beep tone as soon as it detects silence after the greeting, so a beep arriving just after is missed and the tone-triggered action never fires.

What this is

Filed as AMD tone detection premature teardown, the name every report of this mode is collected under.

A failure mode is one named thing that goes wrong on a live call. This record carries every public report of it the atlas has found, in each reporter's own words, and a status that moves only when a re-check stores the artifact behind the move. Status open: reported and still open where it was reported.

Evidence

Every independent public report of this mode, newest first: who wrote it, where, when, what they said, and the link back to the post it came from.

Each quote is at most 30 words around the reported failure and links to the post it came from. If you wrote one of these and want it off this page, the removal path takes it down within 24 hours.

What is measurable

Evidence tier: Atlas record: every field on this page traces to a fetched public artifact.

What it establishes

• Every report below links to the original post and names the handle that wrote it; the quote is at most 30 words around the reported failure.
• The status changes only when a re-check stores the evidence link, the quote and the date behind the change.
• Every timestamp comes from the fetched artifact it describes, recorded with the sha256 of the response body it was read from.

What your trace settles

• Reproducing the mode on your own stack is the next step: the reports below carry the configuration each reporter was running.

# the timing incidents in one recording, ranked
hotato autopsy ./call.wav

The tier above is what this record establishes on its own: linked sources, an artifact behind every status move, and timestamps that trace to a fetched response. To put a number on your own call, hotato autopsy reads a recording you already have and ranks the timing incidents in it. hotato is MIT and runs locally. getting started.

Status history

A daily re-check reads every source thread on this page. The status moves when that re-check stores the link, the quote and the date behind the move, so every state on this record is one you can open.

The record has carried one status since it opened: open, reported and still open where it was reported. A move lands here with the link, the quote and the date that show it.

Removal

If you wrote something quoted on this page and want it gone, one email does it. The removal path takes the quote, the handle and the link off this page, out of the feeds and out of the llms.txt within 24 hours, and tombstones the id so the entry cannot quietly return at a new address.
