Stoat (Revolt renamed) is a Discord alternative on LiveKit, so it mirrors ADR-0020's shape closely enough to be worth reading. Records the two findings that would otherwise be re-derived: RNNoise has a ready-made livekit-client TrackProcessor and is still parked, and LiveKit publishes no mute/unmute webhook without a fork.

Stoat (the Revolt rebrand) is a Discord alternative built on LiveKit, which makes it the closest mirror we have for ADR-0020's "the app takes Discord's shape". Read for decisions, not code — different framework, different backend language, nothing copied.
Records the two findings that would otherwise be re-derived by the next person who looks:
TrackProcessor(livekit-rnnoise-processor), which is exactly the upgrade path ADR-0043 left open. It stays parked — and fix(web): a rider is hard to understand for the first ~30 s after joining voice #2120 (a rider hard to understand for the first ~30 s after joining) is explicitly not a reason to unpark it: that symptom improves over time, so it is convergence, not suppression.Also notes where we are already ahead (per-rider 0–200 % fader, #874/#463), so it does not get re-filed as a gap, and what was deliberately not taken (i18n, per-crew identity).
Context for #2120, #2121, #2122, #2123. No
Closes— this is the record, the work is on those.Docs only, so the changelog gate does not apply.
