* test(whisper): wire e2e streaming transcription target
Adds test-extra-backend-whisper-transcription, mirroring the existing
llama-cpp / sherpa-onnx / vibevoice-cpp targets. The generic
AudioTranscriptionStream spec at tests/e2e-backends/backend_test.go:644
fails today because backend/go/whisper has no streaming impl - this
target is the failing TDD gate that the next phase makes pass.
Confirmed RED locally: 3 Passed (health, load, offline transcription),
1 Failed (streaming spec hits its 300s context deadline because the
base implementation returns 'unimplemented' but doesn't close the
result channel, leaving the gRPC stream open until the client times
out).

* feat(whisper-cpp): expose new_segment_callback to the Go side
Adds set_new_segment_callback() and a C-side trampoline that whisper.cpp
invokes once per new text segment during whisper_full(). The trampoline
dispatches (idx_first, n_new, user_data) to a Go function pointer
registered via purego.NewCallback - text and timings are pulled by Go
through the existing get_segment_text/get_segment_t0/get_segment_t1
getters.
Wires the hook only when streaming is actually requested, to avoid a
per-segment function-pointer dispatch on the offline path.

* feat(whisper-cpp): implement AudioTranscriptionStream
Wires whisper.cpp's new_segment_callback through purego back to Go so
the streaming transcription RPC produces real, time-correlated deltas
while whisper_full() is still decoding. Each segment becomes one
TranscriptStreamResponse{Delta}; whisper_full's return is the
TranscriptStreamResponse{FinalResult} carrying the full segment list,
language, and duration.
Per-call state is tracked in a sync.Map keyed by an atomic counter; the
Go callback registered via purego.NewCallback is a singleton, dispatched
through user_data. SingleThread today means only one entry is ever live,
but the map shape matches the sherpa-onnx TTS callback pattern.
The streaming path's final.Text is the literal concat of every emitted
delta (a strings.Builder accumulated by onNewSegment) so the e2e
invariant `final.Text == concat(deltas)` holds exactly. The first delta
has no leading space; subsequent deltas are space-prefixed. The offline
AudioTranscription path is unchanged.
Closes the gap with sherpa-onnx, vibevoice-cpp, llama-cpp, and tinygrad,
which already implement AudioTranscriptionStream.
Verified GREEN locally: make test-extra-backend-whisper-transcription
passes 4/4 specs (3 Passed initially under RED, +1 streaming spec now).

* test(whisper-cpp): assert progressive multi-segment streaming
Drives AudioTranscriptionStream against a real long-audio fixture and
asserts len(deltas) >= 2. The generic e2e spec at
tests/e2e-backends/backend_test.go:644 only checks len(deltas) >= 1
which is satisfied by both real and faked streaming - this spec is the
guardrail that a future "fake" impl can't sneak past.
Skipped by default (env-gated, like the cancellation spec); set
WHISPER_LIBRARY, WHISPER_MODEL_PATH, and WHISPER_AUDIO_PATH to a 30+
second clip to run.
Verified locally with a 55s 5x-JFK concat against ggml-base.en.bin:
1 Passed in 7.3s, deltas >= 2, finalSegmentCount >= 2,
concat(deltas) == final.Text.

* ci(whisper-cpp): add transcription gRPC e2e job
Mirrors tests-sherpa-onnx-grpc-transcription /
tests-llama-cpp-grpc-transcription. Runs make
test-extra-backend-whisper-transcription whenever the whisper backend
or the run-all switch fires, so a pin-bump or refactor that breaks
streaming transcription gets caught before merge.
The whisper output on detect-changes is already emitted by
scripts/changed-backends.js (it iterates allBackendPaths); this PR
just exposes it as a workflow output and consumes it.

* fix(whisper-cpp): silence errcheck on AudioTranscriptionStream defers
golangci-lint runs with new-from-merge-base=origin/master, so the
identical defer patterns in the existing offline AudioTranscription
path are grandfathered while the new ones in AudioTranscriptionStream
trip errcheck. Wrap both defers in `func() { _ = ... }()` to match what
errcheck wants without altering behavior. The errors from os.RemoveAll
and *os.File.Close are not actionable inside a defer here (we're
already returning), matching the offline path's contract.

Adds context.Context as first parameter to the AIModel interface methods

forwards the per-RPC ctx (server-streaming uses stream.Context()).
Whisper, Voxtral, vibevoice-cpp, and sherpa-onnx accept the parameter;
none uses it yet — the actual cancellation primitive lands in the next
commit so this is pure plumbing.

Installs a std::atomic<int> flag, wires it into

context. transcribe() now distinguishes abort (return 2) from real

* feat(whisper): honor ctx cancellation and return codes.Canceled
A watcher goroutine watches ctx.Done() during AudioTranscription and
calls CppSetAbort(1) on cancel. whisper_full sees abort_callback return
true at the next compute graph step, returns non-zero, and the bridge
returns 2 -> AudioTranscription maps that to codes.Canceled.
Adds an opt-in test (gated on WHISPER_MODEL_PATH / WHISPER_AUDIO_PATH)
that asserts cancellation latency under 5s and proves the abort flag
resets cleanly so the next transcription succeeds.

* fix(whisper): join the cancel watcher goroutine before returning
Follow-up to 85edf9d2. The previous commit used `defer close(done)` and
called the watcher "joined synchronously" — but close() only signals,
it does not block until the goroutine exits. That left a window where
a late CppSetAbort(1) from a cancelled call could land on the next
call, after its C-side g_abort reset but before whisper_full() began
polling the abort callback, corrupting the second transcription.
Switch to a sync.WaitGroup join so wg.Wait() blocks until the watcher
has actually returned from its select.

* fix(whisper): short-circuit pre-cancelled ctx in AudioTranscription
If ctx is already Done() at entry, return codes.Canceled immediately
instead of running the full transcription. The C-side g_abort reset
happens at the start of transcribe() and would otherwise overwrite a
watcher-set abort flag from an already-cancelled ctx, producing a
spurious successful transcription on a request the client has already
abandoned.

caught it: *testLLM did not implement grpc.AIModel because the method
signature lacked the ctx parameter, which broke the distributed test

* test(whisper): port cancellation test to Ginkgo/Gomega
Project policy (.agents/coding-style.md, enforced by golangci-lint
forbidigo) is that all Go tests must use Ginkgo v2 + Gomega — no
stdlib testing patterns (t.Skip, t.Fatalf, etc.). Convert the
cancellation test to a Describe/It block with Skip(...) for env
gating and Expect/HaveOccurred for assertions.
Same coverage: cancel mid-flight returns codes.Canceled within 5s and
a follow-up transcription succeeds, proving the C-side g_abort flag
resets cleanly.

* chore: add golangci-lint with new-from-merge-base baseline
Configure golangci-lint v2 with the standard linter set (errcheck, govet,
ineffassign, unused) plus forbidigo, which enforces the Ginkgo/Gomega-only
test convention from .agents/coding-style.md by rejecting stdlib testing
calls (t.Errorf, t.Fatalf, t.Run, ...). staticcheck is disabled — the
codebase has many pre-existing QF-style suggestions not worth gating on.
issues.new-from-merge-base = master makes the lint job a gate for new
issues only; the ~1300 pre-existing baseline stays visible via
'make lint-all' for incremental cleanup. CI runs 'make lint'.
Backends needing C/C++ headers we don't install in the lint runner are
excluded via a deny list in the Makefile (backend/go/{piper,silero-vad,
llm}, cmd/launcher). Discovery still flows through 'go list ./...', so
new packages are scanned automatically.
To make backend/go/{sam3-cpp,stablediffusion-ggml,whisper} typecheckable,
move their .cpp/.h sources into cpp/ subdirs (matching qwen3-tts-cpp /
acestep-cpp). Without this 'go list' rejects the package because Go does
not allow .cpp alongside .go without cgo.
Fix two real bugs found by lint in tests/integration/ (run only via
'make test-stores', not default CI): a stale zerolog reference left over
from the slog migration (c37785b7) and an unused 'os' import.

* ci(lint): generate proto sources and fetch full history
The lint job was failing for two reasons:
- pkg/grpc/proto/*.go is generated, not checked in. Several packages
import it, so without 'make protogen-go' typecheck fails project-wide
with "no required module provides package github.com/mudler/LocalAI/
pkg/grpc/proto".
- golangci-lint's new-from-merge-base needs to git-merge-base the PR
against master, but actions/checkout's default shallow clone doesn't
fetch master. fetch-depth: 0 brings full history; the config now
references origin/master (the remote-tracking branch that survives
the shallow checkout) instead of bare master (which doesn't exist
locally after checkout).

whisper.cpp can emit bytes that are not valid UTF-8 — typically a
multibyte codepoint split across token boundaries. protobuf string
fields reject those at marshal time, which would surface as a transcribe
failure. Run strings.ToValidUTF8 on the segment text before it leaves
the cgo boundary so the bad byte gets replaced with U+FFFD.
