+# Voicebot Module Refactoring
+
+The voicebot/main.py functionality has been broken down into individual Python files for better organization and maintainability:
+
+## New File Structure
+
+### Core Modules
+
+1. **`models.py`** - Data models and configuration
+   - `VoicebotArgs` - Pydantic model for CLI arguments and configuration
+   - `VoicebotMode` - Enum for client/provider modes
+   - `Peer` - WebRTC peer representation
+   - `JoinRequest` - Request model for joining lobbies
+   - `MessageData` - Type alias for message payloads
+
+2. **`webrtc_signaling.py`** - WebRTC signaling client functionality
+   - `WebRTCSignalingClient` - Main WebRTC signaling client class
+   - Handles peer connection management, ICE candidates, session descriptions
+   - Registration status tracking and reconnection logic
+   - Message processing and event handling
+
+3. **`session_manager.py`** - Session and lobby management
+   - `create_or_get_session()` - Session creation/retrieval
+   - `create_or_get_lobby()` - Lobby creation/retrieval
+   - HTTP API communication utilities
+
+4. **`bot_orchestrator.py`** - FastAPI bot orchestration service
+   - Bot discovery and management
+   - FastAPI endpoints for bot operations
+   - Provider registration with main server
+   - Bot instance lifecycle management
+
+5. **`client_main.py`** - Main client logic
+   - `main_with_args()` - Core client functionality
+   - `start_client_with_reload()` - Development mode with reload
+   - Event handlers for peer and track management
+
+6. **`client_app.py`** - Client FastAPI application
+   - `create_client_app()` - Creates FastAPI app for client mode
+   - Health check and status endpoints
+   - Process isolation and locking
+
+7. **`utils.py`** - Utility functions
+   - URL conversion utilities (`http_base_url`, `ws_url`)
+   - SSL context creation
+   - Network information logging
+
+8. **`main.py`** - Main orchestration and entry point
+   - Command-line argument parsing
+   - Mode selection (client vs provider)
+   - Entry points for both modes
+
+### Key Improvements
+
+- **Separation of Concerns**: Each file handles specific functionality
+- **Better Maintainability**: Smaller, focused modules are easier to understand and modify
+- **Reduced Coupling**: Dependencies between components are more explicit
+- **Type Safety**: Proper type hints and Pydantic models throughout
+- **Error Handling**: Centralized error handling and logging
+
+### Usage
+
+The refactored code maintains the same CLI interface:
+
+```bash
+# Client mode
+python voicebot/main.py --mode client --server-url http://localhost:8000/ai-voicebot
+
+# Provider mode  
+python voicebot/main.py --mode provider --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8788
+```
+
+### Import Structure
+
+```python
+from voicebot import VoicebotArgs, VoicebotMode, WebRTCSignalingClient
+from voicebot.models import Peer, JoinRequest
+from voicebot.session_manager import create_or_get_session, create_or_get_lobby
+from voicebot.client_main import main_with_args
+```
+
+The original `main_old.py` contains the monolithic implementation for reference.
