mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 79a7631cc5 feat(parakeet-cpp): encoder fingerprint for speaker naming, VAD trim and word filter options, pin bump (#12491)
* chore(parakeet-cpp): bump parakeet.cpp to 2de154c

Brings in the speaker registry encoder fingerprint, the VAD segment trim
and the opt-in word filter, a fix for a per-call thread count that stayed
set on the process-wide backend after a Silero VAD pass, and bundle
components loaded from memory.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): encoder fingerprint for speaker naming, vad_trim and guard_* options

Speaker naming. A registered voice now carries the encoder that made it:
the embedding family (voicedetect:<arch>:<name>:<dim>) and the sha256 of
the weights. The backend reports the family of the loaded speaker model in
Status, voice enrollment from speaker_profiles stores it as encoder_family
(old entries load without it), and the registry sent to parakeet.cpp is
built with parakeet_capi_speaker_registry_add_embedding_fp. The library
then refuses a registry of another encoder family and the error names both
families; another quantization of the same family only warns. A voice with
only a weights hash gets the loaded family when the hashes are equal.

Voices without a fingerprint (registered from audio: libvoicedetect cannot
report one) keep the file-name rule and are used with a warning. The
library cannot mix them with fingerprinted voices in one registry, so a
request that has any uses the old registry for all. speaker_strict:true
drops them instead. A library without the symbols behaves as before.

Transcription. vad_trim (seconds, 0 keeps the whole cuts) goes through the
VAD options JSON, so it reaches /v1/vad and the segmenter. The guard_*
options guard_min_local_conf, guard_local_radius and guard_drop_punct_only
turn on the word filter through parakeet_capi_transcribe_path_json_with,
or through the segmenter with vad:true. They are off by default, bad
values fail the load, and a library without the symbol fails it with a
clear message. The dropped word count is logged at debug level.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto 2ae6cae70d feat(parakeet-cpp): name speakers from the shared voice registry (#12382)
* feat(voice): list registered voices and record which encoder made them

The voice registry could register, identify and forget but not list, and
it did not remember which speaker encoder produced an embedding. Add
Metadata.Model and Registry.List, answered from the index the store
registry already keeps for Forget. Needed so a backend can be given the
registered voices that match its own speaker encoder.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-haiku-4-5 [Claude Code]

* feat(diarization): name speakers from the voice registry

When a diarization model has a speaker_model option, the endpoint sends
the registered voices made by that encoder to the backend. The backend's
name and name_score come back as extra fields next to the normalized
SPEAKER_NN speaker, and the speakers summary carries the first name seen
for each speaker. RTTM output and results without names are unchanged.

* feat(live): pass registered voices to a live session and surface speaker names

Live sessions now send the registered voices that match the model's
speaker_model to the backend, and each speaker segment carries the name
the backend matched. The realtime segment event gains an optional
speaker_name field.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): load a speaker model and build per-request voice registries

Adds the speaker bindings (ABI v9 and v10, probed separately), the
speaker_model, speaker_threshold and speaker_margin options, and a
per-request registry builder over the known voices.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 [Claude Code]

* feat(parakeet-cpp): name the speakers in Diarize from the known voices

Diarize builds a per-request speaker registry from the known voices when a
speaker model is loaded, calls the named C functions, and puts each slot's
registered name and score on the segments. The registry is freed on every
path. A library without ABI 10 reports Unimplemented instead of dropping
the names.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 [Claude Code]

* feat(parakeet-cpp): name speakers in the live scene stream

The live scene stream now begins with a known-voice registry when a
speaker model is loaded and the live config carries voices, and each
closed speaker segment takes its slot's current name from the feed's
names map. A segment that closes before its slot is identified has an
empty name. The registry is freed after the stream, on every path.

* feat(gallery): speaker naming entries and docs for parakeet-cpp

next to the diarization or realtime scene models, and document speaker
names in the voice recognition, diarization, audio to text and realtime
pages.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): skip an unusable registered voice instead of failing the request

A registered voice with the wrong embedding size, or one the C side
refused, failed the whole diarization request, so one legacy voice broke
the model for every user. Skip such voices with a warning that does not
carry the voice name, and take the plain path when none is left.

Also map an exact 0 speaker threshold or margin to a tiny positive value,
since the C side reads 0 as "use the default", and fix a stale comment
about which contexts Free() walks.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 [Claude Code]

* fix(diarization): warn once per model about voices from another encoder; document the privacy limit

The different-encoder warning fired on every request. Log it once per
feature and speaker model, then at debug level. Document that the global
voice registry lets any caller of a speaker_model model learn matching
names, and that skipped wrong-sized voices are logged.

* chore(parakeet-cpp): bump parakeet.cpp to 8c8cec0 (C-API v10) and check speaker naming against the real library

The pin moves from 623a968 to 8c8cec0, which brings in everything merged
in parakeet.cpp since: the voice identification change (C-API v9, #78) and
raw-embedding enroll plus diarize-only speaker naming (C-API v10, #79).

New real-library specs (gated on PARAKEET_BACKEND_TEST_SPEAKER_MODEL,
_DIAR_MODEL, _WAV and, for the live path, _STREAM_MODEL) name the two
speakers of two_speakers.wav from a committed pair of WeSpeaker embeddings,
with the voices passed in reversed order. They also check that the float32
threshold reaches C through purego. The shared test loader now registers
the v9/v10 and scene symbols as main.go does.

The rebase onto origin/master had no conflicts.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 1cd7d63c7b fix(distributed): reject wrong-model requests on the remaining modalities (#10990)
#10970 gave the four PredictOptions RPCs a model-identity check so a
backend reached through a stale distributed route rejects the request
instead of answering from whatever model it holds (#10952). Every other
modality shares that exposure: the route is cached by host:port, a worker
can recycle a stopped backend's port for another model's backend, and a
liveness-only probe cannot tell a stale row from a valid one.

Extends the same mechanism to the 21 remaining request messages that reach
a backend through the router, using the pattern #10970 established rather
than a parallel one:

- proto: ModelIdentity on each modality request message.
- controller: populated from ModelConfig.Model at the call site that also
  builds ModelOptions, so load-time and request-time values are equal by
  construction.
- backends: one generic guard in pkg/grpc/server.go (27 Go backends), the
  method set in backend/python/common (36 Python backends), llama-cpp
  (AudioTranscription/Stream, Rerank, Score) and privacy-filter
  (TokenClassify).
- reconcile already drops the stale row on IsModelMismatch; no change.

TTSRequest and SoundGenerationRequest get a SEPARATE ModelIdentity field
rather than reusing their existing `model`: FileStagingClient rewrites
`model` to a worker-local path, so comparing it would reject valid
requests in exactly the configuration this guards.

AudioEncode/AudioDecode are deliberately left unguarded: the opus codec
backend is loaded from a literal rather than a ModelConfig, so no value
carries the equality guarantee the comparison depends on. The four
bidirectional stream RPCs are out of scope; they bypass reconcile.

Empty means skip on both sides, so an old controller, an old backend, and
the bare request structs in tests/e2e-backends all keep working.

Whisper, Voxtral, vibevoice-cpp, and sherpa-onnx accept the parameter;

* feat(whisper): add abort_callback hook in the C++ bridge

Installs a std::atomic<int> flag, wires it into
whisper_full_params.abort_callback, and exposes a set_abort(int) C

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.

Phase B (93c48e19) added context.Context to AIModel.AudioTranscription
but missed the testLLM mock in tests/e2e/distributed. CI golangci-lint
caught it: *testLLM did not implement grpc.AIModel because the method
signature lacked the ctx parameter, which broke the distributed test
suite compilation and cascaded through every backend-build job that
runs `go build ./...`.

Project policy (.agents/coding-style.md, enforced by golangci-lint

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.

Ettore Di Giacinto e86ade54a6 feat(api): add /v1/audio/diarization endpoint with sherpa-onnx + vibevoice.cpp (#9654)
* feat(api): add /v1/audio/diarization endpoint with sherpa-onnx + vibevoice.cpp

Closes #1648.

OpenAI-style multipart endpoint that returns "who spoke when". Single
endpoint instead of the issue's three-endpoint sketch (refactor /vad,
/vad/embedding, /diarization) — the typical client wants one call, and
embeddings can land later as a sibling without breaking this surface.

Response shape borrows from Pyannote/Deepgram: segments carry a
normalised SPEAKER_NN id (zero-padded, stable across the response) plus
the raw backend label, optional per-segment text when the backend bundles
ASR, and a speakers summary in verbose_json. response_format also accepts
rttm so consumers can pipe straight into pyannote.metrics / dscore.

Backends:

* vibevoice-cpp — Diarize() reuses the existing vv_capi_asr pass.
  vibevoice's ASR prompt asks the model to emit
  [{Start,End,Speaker,Content}] natively, so diarization is a by-product
  of the same pass; include_text=true preserves the transcript per
  segment, otherwise we drop it.

* sherpa-onnx — wraps the upstream SherpaOnnxOfflineSpeakerDiarization
  C API (pyannote segmentation + speaker-embedding extractor + fast
  clustering). libsherpa-shim grew config builders, a SetClustering
  wrapper for per-call num_clusters/threshold overrides, and a
  segment_at accessor (purego can't read field arrays out of
  SherpaOnnxOfflineSpeakerDiarizationSegment[] directly).

Plumbing: new Diarize gRPC RPC + DiarizeRequest / DiarizeSegment /
DiarizeResponse messages, threaded through interface.go, base, server,
client, embed. Default Base impl returns unimplemented.

Capability surfaces all updated: FLAG_DIARIZATION usecase,
FeatureAudioDiarization permission (default-on), RouteFeatureRegistry
entries for /v1/audio/diarization and /audio/diarization, audio
instruction-def description widened, CAP_DIARIZATION JS symbol,
swagger regenerated, /api/instructions discovery map updated.

Tests:

* core/backend: speaker-label normalisation (first-seen → SPEAKER_NN,
  per-speaker totals, nil-safety, fallback to backend NumSpeakers when
  no segments).

* core/http/endpoints/openai: RTTM rendering (file-id basename, negative
  duration clamping, fallback id).

* tests/e2e: mock-backend grew a deterministic Diarize that emits
  raw labels "5","2","5" so the e2e suite verifies SPEAKER_NN
  remapping, verbose_json speakers summary + transcript pass-through
  (gated by include_text), RTTM bytes content-type, and rejection of
  unknown response_format. mock-diarize model config registered with
  known_usecases=[FLAG_DIARIZATION] to bypass the backend-name guard.

* fix(diarization): correct sherpa-onnx symbol name + lint cleanup

CI failures on #9654:

* sherpa-onnx-grpc-{tts,transcription} and sherpa-onnx-realtime panicked
  at backend startup with `undefined symbol: SherpaOnnxDestroyOfflineSpeakerDiarizationResult`.
  Upstream's actual symbol is SherpaOnnxOfflineSpeakerDiarizationDestroyResult
  (Destroy in the middle, not the prefix); the rest of the diarization
  surface follows the same naming pattern. The mismatched name made
  purego.RegisterLibFunc fail at dlopen time and crashed the gRPC server
  before the BeforeAll could probe Health, taking down every sherpa-onnx
  test job — not just the diarization-related ones.

* golangci-lint flagged 5 errcheck violations on new defer cleanups
  (os.RemoveAll / Close / conn.Close); wrap each in a `defer func() { _ = X() }()`
  closure (matches the pattern other LocalAI files use for new code, since
  pre-existing bare defers are grandfathered in via new-from-merge-base).

* golangci-lint also flagged forbidigo violations: the new
  diarization_test.go files used testing.T-style `t.Errorf` / `t.Fatalf`,
  which are forbidden by the project's coding-style policy
  (.agents/coding-style.md). Convert both files to Ginkgo/Gomega
  Describe/It with Expect(...) — they get picked up by the existing
  TestBackend / TestOpenAI suites, no new suite plumbing needed.

* modernize linter: tightened the diarization segment loop to
  `for i := range int(numSegments)` (Go 1.22+ idiom).

Verified locally: golangci-lint with new-from-merge-base=origin/master
reports 0 issues across all touched packages, and the four mocked
diarization e2e specs in tests/e2e/mock_backend_test.go still pass.

* fix(vibevoice-cpp): convert non-WAV input via ffmpeg + raise ASR token budget

Confirmed end-to-end against a real LocalAI instance with vibevoice-asr-q4_k
loaded and the multi-speaker MP3 sample at vibevoice.cpp/samples/2p_argument.mp3:
both /v1/audio/transcriptions and /v1/audio/diarization now succeed and
return correctly attributed speaker turns for the full clip.

Two latent issues surfaced once the diarization endpoint actually exercised
the backend with a non-trivial input:

1. vv_capi_asr only accepts WAV via load_wav_24k_mono. The previous code
   passed the uploaded path straight through, so anything that wasn't
   already a 24 kHz mono s16le WAV failed at the C side with rc=-8 and
   the very unhelpful "vv_capi_asr failed". prepareWavInput shells out
   to ffmpeg ("-ar 24000 -ac 1 -acodec pcm_s16le") in a per-call temp
   dir, matching the rate the model was trained on; both AudioTranscription
   and Diarize now route through it. This is the same shape sherpa-onnx
   uses (utils.AudioToWav), but vibevoice needs 24 kHz rather than 16 kHz
   so we don't reuse that helper.

2. The C ABI's max_new_tokens defaults to 256 when 0 is passed. That's
   fine for a five-second clip but not for anything past ~10 s — vibevoice
   stops mid-JSON, the parse fails, and the caller sees a hard error.
   Pass a much larger budget (16 384 ≈ ~9 minutes of speech at the
   model's ~30 tok/s rate); generation stops at EOS so this is a cap
   rather than a target.

3. As a defensive belt-and-braces, mirror AudioTranscription's existing
   "fall back to a single segment if the model emits non-JSON text"
   pattern in Diarize, so partial / unusual model output never produces
   a 500. This kept the endpoint usable while diagnosing (1) and (2),
   and is the right behaviour to keep.

* fix(vibevoice-cpp): pass valid WAVs through directly so ffmpeg is not required at runtime

Spotted by tests-e2e-backend (1.25.x): the previous fix forced every
incoming audio file through `ffmpeg -ar 24000 ...`, which meant the
backend container — which does not ship ffmpeg — failed even for the
existing happy path where the caller already uploads a WAV. The
container-side error was:

    rpc error: code = Unknown desc = vibevoice-cpp: ffmpeg convert to
    24k mono wav: exec: "ffmpeg": executable file not found in $PATH

Reading vibevoice.cpp's audio_io.cpp, `load_wav_24k_mono` uses drwav and
already accepts any PCM/IEEE-float WAV at any sample rate, downmixes
multi-channel input to mono, and resamples to 24 kHz internally. So the
only inputs that genuinely need an external converter are non-WAV
formats (MP3, OGG, FLAC, ...).

Detect WAVs by RIFF/WAVE magic at bytes 0..3 / 8..11 and pass them
straight through with a no-op cleanup; everything else still goes
through ffmpeg with the same 24 kHz mono s16le target. The result:

* Container builds without ffmpeg keep working for WAV uploads
  (the e2e-backends fixture is jfk.wav at 16 kHz mono s16le).
* MP3 and other non-WAV inputs still get the new ffmpeg conversion
  path so the diarization endpoint stays useful.
* If the caller uploads a non-WAV but ffmpeg isn't on PATH, the
  surfaced error is still descriptive enough to act on.

* fix(ci): make gcc-14 install in Dockerfile.golang best-effort for jammy bases

The LocalVQE PR (bb033b16) made `gcc-14 g++-14` an unconditional apt
install in backend/Dockerfile.golang and pointed update-alternatives at
them. That works on the default `BASE_IMAGE=ubuntu:24.04` (noble has
gcc-14 in main), but every Go backend that builds on
`nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-jetpack:r36.4.0` — jammy under the hood — now fails
at the apt step:

    E: Unable to locate package gcc-14

This blocked unrelated jobs:
backend-jobs(*-nvidia-l4t-arm64-{stablediffusion-ggml, sam3-cpp, whisper,
acestep-cpp, qwen3-tts-cpp, vibevoice-cpp}). LocalVQE itself is only
matrix-built on ubuntu:24.04 (CPU + Vulkan), so it doesn't actually
need gcc-14 anywhere else.

Make the gcc-14 install conditional on the package being available in
the configured apt repos. On noble: identical behaviour to today (gcc-14
installed, update-alternatives points at it). On jammy: skip the
gcc-14 stanza entirely and let build-essential's default gcc take over,
which is what the other Go backends compile with anyway.
