LocalAI [bot] 94bdc825dc feat(backend): add moss-transcribe-cpp backend (MOSS-Transcribe-Diarize) (#10756)
C++/ggml transcription + speaker diarization + timestamps backend. Purego
dlopens libmoss-transcribe.so (ggml statically linked) from moss-transcribe.cpp
and serves offline AudioTranscription, parsing the [start][Sxx]text[end] output
into segments with nanosecond timestamps. Adds the importer (surfaces in
GET /backends/known), backend-matrix (Linux + Darwin/metal), backend/index.yaml,
and a gallery entry (default q5_k GGUF from mudler/moss-transcribe.cpp-gguf).

Local L0 smoke (go build + go test ./... = 16 pass, golangci-lint 0 issues)
passed against the real libmoss-transcribe.so. The pre-commit coverage gate
(full pkg/core + tests/e2e) could not run in the authoring sandbox (no live
models, port 9090 held); CI must enforce it before merge.
