+### Verb Definitions
+
+As of the latest version, verb definitions can be loaded from a JSON file instead of being hard-coded. This allows for easier customization and extension without modifying the source code.
+
+**JSON File Format:**
+
+The verb definitions file should follow this structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "action_groups": {
+    "CAMERA_CONTROL": "Camera movements and controls",
+    "ACTOR_POSE": "Actor positioning and poses",
+    "OBJECT_MGMT": "Object manipulation",
+    "SHOT_MGMT": "Shot management"
+  },
+  "verbs": [
+    {
+      "name": "PAN",
+      "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+      "required_parameters": ["direction"],
+      "aliases": ["PIN"],
+      "description": "Pan the camera left or right"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Using Custom Verb Definitions:**
+
+```bash
+./build/bin/frameforge-sidecar \
+  -wm whisper-base.en.bin \
+  -lm llama-3-8b-instruct.gguf \
+  -vd /path/to/custom-verbs.json \
+  -a test_command.wav \
+  -v
+```
+
+A sample verb definitions file is provided at `tools/frameforge/verb-definitions.json` containing all the currently defined verbs.
+
+If no verb definitions file is specified, the system will fall back to hard-coded defaults.
+

 }
 ```
 
+**Key Changes from Previous Version:**
+- `subject` field moved into `parameters` object
+- Added `timestamp` field (ISO 8601 format)
+- Added `master_verb` field for compound commands
+- Removed `subject` from root level
+
 ### Action Groups
 
 - **CAMERA_CONTROL**: Camera movements (PAN, TILT, DOLLY, ZOOM, LEAN)
 - **ACTOR_POSE**: Actor positioning (SET_POSE, ADJUST_POSE)
 - **OBJECT_MGMT**: Object manipulation (ADD, DELETE, MOVE, ROTATE)
 - **SHOT_MGMT**: Shot management (SHOT, SAVE_SHOT, LOAD_SHOT)
+- **MASTER_VERB**: Master verbs requiring secondary verbs (START, BEGIN, HAVE, MAKE, STOP)
+
+### Master Verbs
+
+Master verbs are special verbs that require a secondary verb to form complete commands:
 
-### Verbs and Required Parameters
-
-| Verb | Required Parameters |
-|------|---------------------|
-| PAN | direction |
-| TILT | direction |
-| DOLLY | direction, speed |
-| ZOOM | direction |
-| LEAN | direction, degrees |
-| SET_POSE | pose_description |
-| ADJUST_POSE | pose_description |
-| ADD | target |
-| DELETE | target |
-| MOVE | target, direction |
-| ROTATE | target, degrees |
-| SHOT | target |
-| SAVE_SHOT | target |
-| LOAD_SHOT | target |
+- **START/BEGIN**: Initiates an action (e.g., "START PANNING LEFT")
+- **HAVE/MAKE**: Commands an actor/object (e.g., "HAVE TOM WALK TO THE DOOR")
+- **STOP**: Stops an ongoing action (e.g., "STOP PANNING")
+
+Example with master verb:
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "master_verb": "START",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-01T12:00:00.000Z",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "LEFT",
+    "speed": 5.0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Verbs and Parameters
+
+Each verb has **required parameters** and **optional parameters**:
+
+| Verb | Required Parameters | Optional Parameters |
+|------|---------------------|---------------------|
+| START | - | subject, target, direction, speed, degrees |
+| BEGIN | - | subject, target, direction, speed, degrees |
+| HAVE | subject | target, direction, speed, degrees, pose_description |
+| MAKE | subject | target, direction, speed, degrees, pose_description |
+| STOP | - | subject, target |
+| PAN | direction | speed, degrees, target, subject |
+| TILT | direction | speed, degrees, target, subject |
+| DOLLY | direction | speed, target, subject |
+| ZOOM | direction | speed, degrees, target, subject |
+| LEAN | direction, degrees | speed, target, subject |
+| SET_POSE | subject, pose_description | target |
+| ADJUST_POSE | subject, pose_description | target |
+| ADD | target | subject |
+| DELETE | target | subject |
+| MOVE | target, direction | speed, degrees, subject |
+| ROTATE | target, degrees | direction, speed, subject |
+| SHOT | target | subject |
+| SAVE_SHOT | target | subject |
+| LOAD_SHOT | target | subject |
+
+### Verb Disambiguation
+
+The system uses parameter patterns to help identify misrecognized verbs. For example:
+- "ROOM LEFT" doesn't match ZOOM pattern (requires direction like IN/OUT)
+- "ROOM OUT" matches ZOOM pattern → corrected to "ZOOM OUT"
+
+This helps correct common speech recognition errors.

+# FrameForge Voice Command Integration - JSON Configuration Update
+
+## Summary
+
+This update transforms the FrameForge Voice Command Integration from hard-coded verb definitions to a flexible JSON-based configuration system. It also updates the command structure for Delphi Bridge compatibility and adds support for master verbs.
+
+## Key Changes
+
+### 1. JSON-Based Verb Definitions
+
+**File:** `tools/frameforge/verb-definitions.json`
+
+Verb definitions are now loaded from an external JSON file, allowing customization without code changes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "verbs": [
+    {
+      "name": "PAN",
+      "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+      "required_parameters": ["direction"],
+      "optional_parameters": ["speed", "degrees", "target", "subject"],
+      "aliases": ["PIN"],
+      "is_master_verb": false,
+      "description": "Pan the camera left or right"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Easy to add/modify verbs without recompiling
+- Support for verb aliases (PIN→PAN, ROOM→ZOOM, PUSH→DOLLY)
+- Required and optional parameters for better validation
+- Fallback to hard-coded defaults if JSON not provided
+
+### 2. Delphi Bridge Compatible JSON Format
+
+**OLD Format:**
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "subject": "Camera1",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "LEFT"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**NEW Format:**
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-01T12:00:00.000Z",
+  "parameters": {
+    "subject": "Camera1",
+    "direction": "LEFT"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Changes:**
+- ✅ `subject` moved into `parameters` object
+- ✅ Added `timestamp` field (ISO 8601 format)
+- ✅ Added optional `master_verb` field for compound commands
+- ✅ Removed `subject` from root level
+
+### 3. Master Verbs
+
+Master verbs require a secondary verb to form complete commands:
+
+**Implemented Master Verbs:**
+- `START` / `BEGIN`: Initiates an action
+- `HAVE` / `MAKE`: Commands an actor/object  
+- `STOP`: Stops an ongoing action
+
+**Examples:**
+- "START PANNING LEFT" → `{"verb": "PAN", "master_verb": "START", ...}`
+- "HAVE TOM WALK FORWARD" → `{"verb": "MOVE", "master_verb": "HAVE", ...}`
+- "BEGIN ZOOMING IN" → `{"verb": "ZOOM", "master_verb": "BEGIN", ...}`
+
+### 4. Required vs Optional Parameters
+
+Each verb now has both required and optional parameters:
+
+| Verb | Required | Optional |
+|------|----------|----------|
+| PAN | direction | speed, degrees, target, subject |
+| ZOOM | direction | speed, degrees, target, subject |
+| HAVE | subject | target, direction, speed, degrees, pose_description |
+| START | - | subject, target, direction, speed, degrees |
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Better validation
+- Helps with verb disambiguation (e.g., "ROOM LEFT" doesn't match ZOOM's pattern)
+
+### 5. Verb Disambiguation via Aliases
+
+Aliases help correct common speech recognition errors:
+
+| Heard | Alias | Corrected To |
+|-------|-------|--------------|
+| PIN | → | PAN |
+| ROOM | → | ZOOM |
+| PUSH | → | DOLLY |
+| WALK / RUN | → | MOVE |
+| TURN | → | ROTATE |
+| REMOVE | → | DELETE |
+
+## Code Changes
+
+### Modified Files
+
+1. **frameforge-schema.h / .cpp**
+   - Added `load_verb_definitions()` function
+   - Added `is_master_verb()` function
+   - Added `get_optional_parameters()` function
+   - Added `get_current_timestamp()` function
+   - Updated `Command` structure (removed `subject`, added `master_verb`, `timestamp`)
+   - Added master verb enums (START, BEGIN, HAVE, MAKE, STOP)
+   - Added MASTER_VERB action group
+
+2. **frameforge-validator.cpp**
+   - Updated to handle `subject` in parameters
+   - Updated validation to check for subject as a parameter
+   - Removed subject validation from root level
+
+3. **frameforge-json.cpp**
+   - Updated `command_to_json()` to include timestamp and master_verb
+   - Updated to serialize subject from parameters
+   - Updated parsing to handle new format
+
+4. **frameforge-sidecar.cpp**
+   - Added `--verb-defs` command-line option
+   - Updated INTENT_SYSTEM_PROMPT to reflect new JSON format
+   - Added verb definitions loading on startup
+
+5. **README.md**
+   - Updated documentation with new JSON format
+   - Added master verb examples
+   - Added parameter tables
+   - Added verb disambiguation explanation
+
+### New Files
+
+1. **verb-definitions.json** - Complete verb definitions for all 19 verbs
+2. **test-frameforge-new-features.cpp** - Comprehensive tests for new features
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+All tests passing:
+- ✅ `test-frameforge-validator` - Core validation tests  
+- ✅ `test-frameforge-json-loader` - JSON loading tests
+- ✅ `test-frameforge-new-features` - New features tests (master verbs, timestamps, etc.)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Loading Custom Verb Definitions
+
+```bash
+./frameforge-sidecar \
+  --whisper-model whisper-base.en.bin \
+  --llama-model llama-3-8b-instruct.gguf \
+  --verb-defs /path/to/custom-verbs.json \
+  --audio test.wav
+```
+
+### Example Voice Commands
+
+**Camera Control:**
+- "Pan the camera left"
+- "Start panning slowly to the right"
+- "Begin zooming in"
+
+**With Master Verbs:**
+- "Have Tom walk to the door"
+- "Make Rachel turn around"
+- "Start tilting up"
+
+**With Aliases:**
+- "Room out" (ROOM → ZOOM OUT)
+- "Push in slowly" (PUSH → DOLLY IN)
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+✅ **Fully backward compatible** - If no JSON file is provided, the system falls back to hard-coded defaults that match the previous behavior.
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### For Delphi Bridge Integration
+
+Update your JSON parsing to:
+1. Look for `subject` in `parameters` instead of root level
+2. Include `timestamp` field in all commands
+3. Handle optional `master_verb` field
+4. Generate timestamps using ISO 8601 format
+
+Example migration:
+```cpp
+// OLD
+std::string subject = json["subject"];
+
+// NEW  
+std::string subject = json["parameters"]["subject"];
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run all tests:
+```bash
+cmake --build build --target test-frameforge-validator test-frameforge-json-loader test-frameforge-new-features
+./build/bin/test-frameforge-validator
+./build/bin/test-frameforge-json-loader
+./build/bin/test-frameforge-new-features
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential future additions:
+- Verb disambiguation algorithm using optional parameters
+- Dynamic verb loading/reloading without restart
+- Verb precedence rules for ambiguous commands
+- Custom parameter validation rules per verb
+- Multi-language verb aliases
+

+### 2. Delphi Bridge Compatible JSON Format ✓
+
+**Before:**
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "subject": "Camera1",        ← Subject at root level
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "LEFT"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-01T12:00:00.000Z",  ← NEW: ISO 8601 timestamp
+  "parameters": {
+    "subject": "Camera1",      ← MOVED: Subject in parameters
+    "direction": "LEFT"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Required & Optional Parameters ✓
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "PAN",
+  "required_parameters": ["direction"],
+  "optional_parameters": ["speed", "degrees", "target", "subject"]
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Better validation
+- Verb disambiguation (e.g., "ROOM LEFT" doesn't match ZOOM pattern)
+
+### 4. Master Verbs ✓
+
+**Simple Command:**
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "parameters": {"direction": "LEFT"}
+}
+```
+
+**Master Verb Command:**
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "master_verb": "START",      ← NEW: Master verb field
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "LEFT",
+    "speed": 5.0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Supported Master Verbs:**
+- START / BEGIN - "Start panning left"
+- HAVE / MAKE - "Have Tom walk forward"
+- STOP - "Stop panning"
+
+## 📊 Example Voice Commands → JSON
+
+### Camera Control
+**Voice:** "Pan the camera left"
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-01T12:00:00.000Z",
+  "parameters": {
+    "subject": "Camera1",
+    "direction": "LEFT"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Master Verb - START
+**Voice:** "Start panning slowly to the right"
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "master_verb": "START",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-01T12:01:00.000Z",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "RIGHT",
+    "speed": 5.0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Master Verb - HAVE
+**Voice:** "Have Tom walk to the door"
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "MOVE",
+  "master_verb": "HAVE",
+  "action_group": "OBJECT_MGMT",
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-01T12:02:00.000Z",
+  "parameters": {
+    "subject": "Tom",
+    "target": "Door",
+    "direction": "FORWARD"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 🎯 Verb Disambiguation Examples
+
+### Correct Recognition
+**Heard:** "ZOOM OUT"
+- Check: ZOOM requires direction (IN/OUT) ✓
+- Check: OUT is valid direction ✓
+- Result: Command accepted
+
+### Disambiguation
+**Heard:** "ROOM LEFT"
+- Check: ZOOM (alias: ROOM) requires direction (IN/OUT)
+- Check: LEFT is not valid for ZOOM (expects IN/OUT) ✗
+- Possible: "Did you mean PAN LEFT?" (PAN accepts LEFT)
+
+**Heard:** "ROOM OUT"
+- Check: ZOOM (alias: ROOM) requires direction
+- Check: OUT is valid ✓
+- Result: Corrected to "ZOOM OUT"
+
+## 📝 Verb Aliases Implemented
+
+| Speech Input | Alias | Corrected Verb | Example |
+|--------------|-------|----------------|---------|
+| PIN | → | PAN | "Pin left" → "PAN LEFT" |
+| ROOM | → | ZOOM | "Room out" → "ZOOM OUT" |
+| PUSH | → | DOLLY | "Push in" → "DOLLY IN" |
+| WALK | → | MOVE | "Walk forward" → "MOVE FORWARD" |
+| RUN | → | MOVE | "Run to door" → "MOVE TO door" |
+| TURN | → | ROTATE | "Turn around" → "ROTATE" |
+| REMOVE | → | DELETE | "Remove chair" → "DELETE chair" |
+
