 This package provides ROS2 integration for the Coffee Barista Voice Agent while preserving its interactive console mode functionality. The voice agent runs as a standalone application with full console controls, while a separate ROS2 bridge node provides system integration via WebSocket communication.
 
+## Implementation Versions
+
+This package now includes **two implementations** of the voice agent:
+
+### **🏗️ Refactored Version (Recommended)**
+- **Files**: `main.py` + modular structure (`state/`, `agents/`, `tools/`)
+- **Launcher**: `./run_main.sh`
+- **Architecture**: Clean file-based modular organization
+- **Benefits**: Better maintainability, easier testing, cleaner separation of concerns
+- **Status**: ✅ **Production ready** - Same functionality with better organization
+
+### **📚 Original Version (Reference)**
+- **Files**: `livekit_voice_agent.py` (monolithic, 1109 lines)
+- **Launcher**: `./run_voice_agent_original.sh` 
+- **Architecture**: Single-file implementation
+- **Benefits**: Proven, stable, all logic in one place
+- **Status**: 📖 **Preserved for reference** - Fully functional but less maintainable
+
+**Both implementations provide identical functionality** - choose based on your preference for code organization.
+
+## Refactoring Details
+
+The refactored version was created through careful **file-based modular extraction** while preserving all original functionality:
+
+### **What Was Extracted**
+
+| **Component** | **Original Location** | **New Location** | **Lines** | **Purpose** |
+|---------------|----------------------|------------------|-----------|-------------|
+| **StateManager** | Lines 40-566 in monolith | `state/state_manager.py` | 540 | State transitions, timeouts, virtual queue |
+| **CoffeeBaristaAgent** | Lines 568-1039 in monolith | `agents/simple_coffee_agent.py` | 358 | I/O services, TTS, wake word, WebSocket |
+| **Function Tools** | Agent methods | `tools/coffee_tools.py` | 82 | Coffee-related functions (menu, time, etc.) |
+| **Configuration** | Scattered constants | `config/settings.py` | 25 | Environment variables, timeouts |
+| **Instructions** | Large string | `config/instructions.py` | 50 | LLM system prompt |
+| **Utilities** | Helper methods | `utils/*.py` | 150 | Greetings, animations, announcements |
+
+### **Key Improvements**
+
+- **🧩 Modular Design**: 1109-line monolith → 7 focused files
+- **🔧 Clean Tool Registration**: Programmatic `function_tool()` registration vs duplicate methods
+- **🧪 Testable Components**: Each class can be unit tested independently  
+- **📝 Maintainable**: Add features by editing specific files, not searching through monolith
+- **⚙️ Configuration Management**: Environment variables and settings centralized
+- **🛠️ Reusable Utilities**: Greeting selection, animation descriptions, announcement formatting
+
+### **What Was Preserved**
+
+✅ **All complex logic**: State management, timeout handling, virtual request batching  
+✅ **Threading model**: Same 3-thread architecture (main, wake word, WebSocket)  
+✅ **Session events**: Conversation flow, goodbye detection, timer management  
+✅ **TTS processing**: Emotion extraction from `emotion:text` format  
+✅ **Resource management**: Proper cleanup, state transitions, error handling  
+✅ **Behavior**: Identical user experience and functionality
+
+### **Refactoring Principles**
+
+- **No Logic Changes**: Pure organizational refactoring, zero behavior modification
+- **Composition over Services**: Avoided over-engineering with service abstractions  
+- **Single Responsibility**: Each file has a clear, focused purpose
+- **Dependency Injection**: Components accept dependencies for better testing
+- **Proven Patterns**: Used established LiveKit patterns (programmatic tool registration)
