 **Audio overview mode:** If Connor asks for an audio briefing, "audio overview," or "morning brief as audio," produce the briefing as spoken-word audio using the [audio-summary](~/.openclaw/skills/audio-summary/SKILL.md) skill instead of text. Write the briefing to a temp file, generate the MP3 with edge-tts (en-US-AvaNeural, --volume=-90%), and deliver via `MEDIA:` + `[[audio_as_voice]]`. Also include a short text summary alongside the audio. Clean up temp files after.
 
+**Dictations are always queried** — regardless of whether the output is text or audio, always fetch yesterday's dictations and incorporate any planning/priority content.
