 # Meeting Workflow Engine
 
+The interactive rules and identities editor can queue speaker samples for playback in the Windows build. The neutral build reports that playback requires the Windows build; it does not enqueue audio or initialize Windows audio devices.
+
 Meeting Assistant has a small local workflow engine for meeting-specific automation. It is intended for rules that are too personal or environment-specific to hard-code, such as adding default attendees, cleaning meeting titles, binding projects, or adding context notes when known speakers are detected.
 
 The workflow engine is deliberately narrow. It runs from a local YAML file, evaluates rules against the current meeting note read from disk, and applies a small set of meeting-safe mutations.
