+# Milestone 12: Virtual Hardware - Microphone
+
+**Status**: Complete
+**Goal**: Audio recording with mandatory recording indicators and security controls.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This milestone implements secure microphone access for Lua apps:
+- Permission required (`microphone` permission)
+- User gesture required to start recording
+- Mandatory recording indicator (system-controlled, cannot be hidden)
+- Single recording session per app
+- Sample rate limiting
+- Automatic cleanup on app stop
+
+### Key Deliverables
+
+1. **MicrophoneInterface class** - Session management, permission checks
+2. **RecordingSession class** - Active recording session wrapper
+3. **Lua microphone API** - `microphone.start()`, session methods
+4. **Recording indicator** - System-level UI notification

+```
+
+### 2. Permission Requirements
+
+Microphone access requires:
+1. `microphone` permission declared in manifest
+2. Permission granted by user (dangerous permission)
+3. Recent user gesture (within 5 seconds)
+
+```cpp
+// Permission check flow
+bool MicrophoneInterface::StartSession(...) {
+    // 1. Check permission
+    if (!m_permissions->HasPermission("microphone")) {
+        error = "Microphone permission not granted";
+        return nullptr;
+    }
+
+    // 2. Check user gesture
+    if (!HasRecentUserGesture()) {
+        error = "Microphone requires user gesture";
+        return nullptr;
+    }
+
+    // 3. Check no existing session
+    if (m_active_session) {
+        error = "Recording session already active";
+        return nullptr;
+    }
+
+    // ... create session
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Recording Indicator
+
+The recording indicator is mandatory and system-controlled:
+- Shown whenever microphone session is active
+- Cannot be hidden or obscured by app
+- Positioned in system UI area
+- Shows microphone icon with "Recording" text
+
+### 4. Lua API
+
+```lua
+-- Start recording session (requires permission + user gesture)
+local session, err = microphone.start({
+    sampleRate = 44100,    -- 8000, 16000, 22050, 44100, 48000
+    channels = 1,          -- 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo)
+    format = "pcm16"       -- "pcm16" or "float"
+})
+
+if not session then
+    print("Failed to start recording:", err)
+    return
+end
+
+-- Set buffer callback (for streaming audio)
+session:on("buffer", function(buffer)
+    -- buffer.data, buffer.sampleRate, buffer.channels, buffer.sampleCount
+end)
+
+-- Get accumulated audio data
+local audio = session:getBuffer()
+if audio then
+    print("Recorded", audio.sampleCount, "samples at", audio.sampleRate, "Hz")
+end
+
+-- Stop recording
+session:stop()
+
+-- Check if microphone is active
+if microphone.isActive() then
+    print("Microphone is recording")
+end
+```
+
+### 5. Sample Rate Validation
+
+To prevent resource abuse:
+- Allowed sample rates: 8000, 16000, 22050, 44100, 48000
+- Maximum: 48000 Hz
+- Channels: 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo)
+
+### 6. Session Lifecycle
+
+```
+User Gesture ──► microphone.start() ──► Session Active ──► Indicator Shown
+                     │                       │
+                     │ error                 │ session:stop()
+                     ▼                       ▼
+                   nil, err              Session Closed ──► Indicator Hidden
+
+App Stop ──► MicrophoneInterface::Shutdown() ──► All Sessions Closed
+```

+
+### Test 1: Requires Permission
+
+```cpp

+        if not microphone then
+            error("microphone global not found")
+        end
+        if not microphone.start then
+            error("microphone.start not found")
+        end
+        if not microphone.isActive then

+        if microphone.isActive() then

+    return true;
+}
+```
+

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+All tests must pass:
+
+- [x] `Test_MicrophoneRequiresPermission` - Permission check works
+- [x] `Test_MicrophoneRequiresUserGesture` - User gesture required
+- [x] `Test_MicrophoneShowsIndicator` - Recording indicator shown/hidden
+- [x] `Test_MicrophoneSingleSession` - Only one session allowed
+- [x] `Test_MicrophoneStopsOnShutdown` - Cleanup on shutdown
+- [x] `Test_MicrophoneLuaIntegration` - Lua API works
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Milestone 1 (LuaSandbox)
+- Milestone 2 (PermissionGate + user gesture)
+- Milestone 3 (AuditLog)
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+### Desktop vs Android Implementation
+
+For desktop testing, MicrophoneInterface operates in mock mode:
+- Permission and gesture checks run normally
+- Indicator state is tracked but not displayed
+- No actual microphone hardware access
+- Audio buffers can be simulated for testing
+
+On Android, the real implementation would:
+1. Use AudioRecord API through JNI
+2. Display system-level recording indicator
+3. Handle audio hardware lifecycle
+4. Deliver audio buffers through native callbacks
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+1. **Permission**: Microphone access is a dangerous permission requiring user grant
+2. **User gesture**: Prevents background audio recording
+3. **Indicator**: User always knows when microphone is active
+4. **Single session**: Prevents resource abuse
+5. **Cleanup**: Sessions closed when app stops
+
+### Future Integration
+
+The microphone will integrate with:
+1. Voice communication in multiplayer games
+2. Voice commands/speech recognition
+3. Audio messaging features
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After Milestone 12 passes:
+1. Milestone 13: Virtual Hardware - Audio Output
