+# ⚠️ Deprecated Frontend
+
+This directory contains the original, legacy single-page static HTML/CSS/JS frontend application for the ONNX Voice Changer.
+
+---
+
+## 🚫 Status: Deprecated
+This frontend is **no longer maintained or active**. 
+
+### Why?
+1. **Upgraded Dashboard:** The voice changer client has been completely refactored and rewritten as a premium **Next.js 15 (TypeScript & Tailwind CSS)** application, which is now located in the main [/frontend](file:///M:/Users/ahmad/project/onnx-voice-changer/frontend) workspace.
+2. **Pure API Backend:** The Python backend (`server.py`) has been simplified to run as a pure WebSocket API backend and no longer hosts static files.
+
+---
+
+## 📂 Files Included
+* `index.html` — The legacy single-page layout.
+* `styles.css` — Legacy stylesheets.
+* `app.js` — Legacy Audio DSP processing and WebSocket integration.
+
+---
+
+## 🏃 Running the Deprecated Client (Reference Only)
+If you still want to run this legacy frontend for reference, you can serve this directory using any static file server:
+
+### Option A: Using Python
+```bash
+python -m http.server 3000
+```
+
+### Option B: Using Node (npx)
+```bash
+npx serve . -p 3000
+```
+
+After serving, open **`http://localhost:3000`** in your browser. Ensure the Python WebSocket backend (`server.py`) is running on port `8765`.
