- SetupSummary: an installed engine whose routing is "unavailable" reads
Needs setup, not Ready (select is refused for it too); a failed /engines
or /dictation/models fetch renders as an error with Retry instead of
posing as "Off" / "Needs setup".
- Bulk installs (summary, model store, recommendation card) wait for every
request to settle before re-enabling, and report which repos failed —
one early rejection can no longer re-arm the button mid-flight.
- The weights list stays mounted across family switches (hidden under LLM)
so download progress and Retry/Dismiss state survive navigation.
- Settings search: Hugging Face mirror terms route to Network; the legacy
"models" tab id resolves to Storage. "Manage models" opens the TTS tab.
- Locales: uk "Рушії", zh-TW "引擎", vi "Engine" for the Engines heading.
- Docs name the family tab wherever the instruction depends on it.
The Model Catalogue put the same decision on two axes: an Engines pane with
TTS/ASR/LLM tabs and a Models pane with TTS/ASR/Dictation/Diarisation
sections, dictation shown in both, plus storage stats, the HF token and the
voice-preview toggle parked on the model list. Settings → Voice still carried
Engines and Models entries that only pointed back here.
Now the page reads top-down: a SetupSummary (speech, transcription,
dictation, language model — engine, device, one status word, Change), the
engine list for one family, and that family's downloadable weights under it
(TTS under TTS; offline ASR, streaming dictation and diarisation under ASR;
nothing for LLM, whose engines bring their own). One storage line points at
Settings → Storage.
- ModelStoreTab takes a `family` and scopes sections and the recommendation
preset to it (scopeReco); stats strip, HF-token toolbar and previews
panel removed from it.
- Settings: Engines/Models categories and CataloguePointer removed; models
directory → Storage, HF mirror → Network (both restart-flagged), voice
previews → Storage. "Manage models" in disk usage opens the catalogue.
- Store: openCatalogue takes a family (pane key tolerated, ignored);
pendingCatalogueTab gone.
- Engine matrix title is now the locale's plain "Engines".
- i18n: catalogue.* summary keys in all 21 locales; pane/pointer keys dropped.
- Docs: "Model Catalogue → Engines" is "Model Catalogue"; "→ Models" is
"→ Downloaded weights".
* docs(engines): a guide for every engine + index; fix two engine-metadata bugs
21 new pages under docs/engines/ (10 TTS, 10 ASR, index README) — every
registered engine now has one: what it's for, platform support, model env
vars, quirks with issue refs. Linked from both READMEs' engine sections.
Code fixes found while verifying facts against the registries:
- KittenTTS docstring claimed default voice 'Jasper'; the code default is
expr-voice-2-f
- the isolated-ASR sidecar read only ASR_MODEL_FW while the download
preflight read ASR_MODEL_FASTER — set one and the other quietly used a
different model; both now resolve ASR_MODEL_FW-override → ASR_MODEL_FASTER
- moonshine's install hint named 'useful-moonshine', a package the backend
never imports; now moonshine-onnx / moonshine-voice

* docs(changelog): entries for the engine guides + sidecar model fix (#1556)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(engines): second-harvest fixes — TLS guidance, matrix/code alignment, CN counts
- README matrix aligned to gpu_compat (the code is the source of truth):
CosyVoice macOS is CPU not MPS, IndexTTS and GGUF gain their real
CUDA/CPU/MPS cells
- gpt-sovits guide: prefer https/tunnel for non-loopback servers, plaintext
warning; first-use download guidance on both OmniVoice pages
- preflight empty-env fallback matches the sidecar (ASR_MODEL_FASTER='' no
longer resolves a different repo)
- nano installs via uv pip; kitten log level wording; index links install
guides incl. the Gatekeeper step; README_CN engine counts 16/11
