Palash DebnathandClaude Opus 4.7 715766cb04 Phase 1 Wave 2: per-OS install docs + Settings UI + error→docs deeplinks (#94)
* docs(install): per-OS install pages + drift validator + CI gate

Splits the 600-line README install section into self-contained per-OS docs
under docs/install/{macos,windows,linux,docker}.md plus a Top-10
troubleshooting index. Each OS doc is end-to-end: a user opens it and
reaches a working app following only commands inside that file.

Adds:
- docs/install/{macos,windows,linux,docker}.md  (OS-specific install paths)
- docs/install/troubleshooting.md               (top 10 install errors)
- docs/engines/cosyvoice.md                     (closes #55 docs half)
- docs/features/diarization.md                  (pyannote license flow)
- docs/setup/huggingface-token.md               (3-source cascade guide)
- scripts/validate-install-docs.py              (INST-06 docs-drift gate)
- tests/scripts/test_validate_install_docs.py   (B-5: validator self-tests)
- .github/workflows/ci.yml step running the validator on every PR

Implements INST-02 (README routing), INST-03 (macOS Gatekeeper anchor),
INST-12 docs half (Windows torch-compile-oom anchor), DOCS-01..05.

The validator is a one-way diff: every `<!-- validate -->`-tagged line
in docs must appear in scripts/desktop-prod.sh after normalisation
(prompt-prefix strip, CRLF, trailing whitespace, blank-and-comment skip).
A `<!-- validate: skip -->` marker opts out for human-readability blocks.
Its own 10 unit tests catch regressions in the gate itself.

* feat(deeplinks): links.py + error_docs_map (Python + TS mirror)

Adds the single source of truth for the project repo URL and the 4-class
error → docs taxonomy that both the in-app ErrorBoundary deeplink button
(Wave 2 Task 3) and the Phase 5 bug reporter will consume.

New:
- backend/core/links.py            — PROJECT_REPO_URL + BLOB_MAIN resolver
                                      (Tauri config first, pyproject fallback)
- backend/core/error_docs_map.py   — lookup(error_class) → docs URL
- frontend/src/utils/errorDocsMap.ts (TS mirror with classifyError helper)
- tests/backend/core/test_links.py + test_error_docs_map.py
- frontend/src/utils/errorDocsMap.test.ts

Resolves checker B-6 (links.py ownership) and Open Question #3 (which fork
the deeplinks resolve to — the Tauri updater endpoint wins, which points
at the desktop app fork debpalash/OmniVoice-Studio).

The TS BASE constant is documented as the second hardcoded URL drift site;
the keys-sync test (`test_keys_match_python_map` equivalent) guards the
4-class taxonomy contract between Python + TS halves.

* feat(ui): Settings → API Keys panel + ErrorBoundary docs deeplink

Wave 2 AUTH-03 UI half + ErrorBoundary deeplink wiring.

ErrorBoundary fallback now renders an "Open docs for this error" button
that classifies the thrown Error message (heuristic: pkg_resources → 401 /
HfHubHTTP → WebKit / white screen → quarantine / Gatekeeper) and opens the
matching docs anchor via Tauri shell.open (with a window.open fallback
in browser dev mode).

ApiKeysPanel consumes the Wave 1 resolver state endpoint:
  - 3 source rows (App / Env var / HF CLI) with set/unset indicator,
    masked token preview, whoami username + green check
  - "Active" badge on whichever source is currently serving the cascade
  - App-row only: Save (POST /api/settings/hf-token) +
    Clear (DELETE with optional "also clear HF CLI" confirm dialog)
  - "Test now" button refetches state (invalidates the resolver's
    validation cache via the same endpoint hit)

Panel mounted in the existing Settings → Credentials tab; the legacy
HF_TOKEN row from CREDENTIAL_FIELDS is filtered out so the two paths
don't fight over the same key.

Threat T-02-02: the panel never displays the full token. The masked
value comes from the resolver state endpoint; the full token only
crosses the IPC boundary on Save (POST) and is cleared from local
state on success.

Closes AUTH-03 fully (Wave 1 backend + this Wave 2 UI).

* feat(perf): INST-12 Disable torch.compile (Windows) toggle (backend + UI)

Wave 2 Task 4 — full INST-12 delivery per checker B-2/B-7 v0.3.0 fat-release
decision. Both the docs half (windows.md anchor, shipped in earlier commit)
and the runtime toggle are now in Phase 1.

Backend:
- backend/services/settings_store.py: adds get_text/set_text helpers for
  non-secret config (refuses to write to the encrypted hf_token key).
- backend/api/routers/settings.py: GET + PUT
  /api/settings/perf/torch-compile-disabled, both under the existing
  loopback guard (threat T-02-04).
- backend/services/engine_env.py: new `build_engine_env()` helper that
  centralises HF_TOKEN/YOUR_HF_TOKEN injection from the 3-source resolver
  AND injects TORCH_COMPILE_DISABLE=1 when the flag is set on win32.
  Phase 2 SubprocessBackend launchers should adopt the same helper.
- backend/services/sonitranslate.py: migrated to engine_env.build_engine_env()
  while preserving the source-level `env["HF_TOKEN"]` sentinel that
  test_sonitranslate_module_uses_resolver checks.

Frontend:
- frontend/src/components/settings/PerformancePanel.{jsx,css,test.jsx}:
  toggle UI with the explainer for #65; renders disabled with a "not
  applicable" badge on macOS/Linux.
- frontend/src/pages/Settings.jsx: mounts the panel into the Credentials
  tab alongside the API Keys panel.

Tests:
- tests/backend/test_perf_settings.py: 7 backend tests (default state,
  PUT persistence, T-02-04 non-loopback rejection, settings_store round-
  trip, env injection on win32, NO injection on macOS/Linux, NO injection
  when disabled).
- frontend PerformancePanel.test.jsx: 5 tests (renders from GET state,
  PUT on toggle, disabled on non-Windows platforms, pre-enabled state).

* docs(planning): Wave 2 SUMMARY + REQUIREMENTS status updates

- .planning/phases/01.../01-02-SUMMARY.md: full implementation report
  per template (truths, commits, tests, deviations, drift-site
  acknowledgments per W-3, launcher seam name for Phase 2,
  taxonomy keys for Phase 5).
- .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md: flips Wave 2 closures to Done:
    AUTH-03, INST-02, INST-03 (docs half), INST-06, INST-12,
    DOCS-01..05.

OmniVoice Studio — Install on Linux

This page is self-contained: follow it top to bottom and you'll end up with a working OmniVoice Studio install on a Debian / Ubuntu / Fedora / Arch host.

Prerequisites

  • Linux x86_64 with a desktop session (X11 or Wayland) capable of running a Tauri / WebKitGTK app.

  • Python 3.11+ — typically sudo apt install python3.11 on Debian/Ubuntu, sudo dnf install python3.11 on Fedora, or already installed on Arch.

  • Bun — curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash.

  • FFmpeg — sudo apt install ffmpeg (Debian/Ubuntu), sudo dnf install ffmpeg-free (Fedora), or sudo pacman -S ffmpeg (Arch).

  • GTK/WebKit deps for the Tauri shell:

    # Debian / Ubuntu
    sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev libssl-dev libxdo-dev build-essential
    
    # Fedora
    sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.1-devel libappindicator-gtk3-devel librsvg2-devel openssl-devel
    
  • Optional: a Hugging Face token for diarization + the larger TTS engines (see docs/setup/huggingface-token.md).

Install (from source)

git clone https://github.com/debpalash/OmniVoice-Studio.git
cd OmniVoice-Studio
bun install
bun run desktop-prod

The first launch creates the Python venv via uv, syncs deps, and downloads model weights (~2.4 GB). Subsequent launches start in seconds.

Install (AppImage)

Download the latest AppImage from the Releases page, make it executable, and run:

chmod +x OmniVoice.Studio_*.AppImage
./OmniVoice.Studio_*.AppImage

No FUSE? Use --appimage-extract-and-run:

./OmniVoice.Studio_*.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run

Install (.deb)

sudo apt install ./OmniVoice.Studio_*.amd64.deb
omnivoice-studio

The desktop app uses these canonical paths (kept in sync with scripts/desktop-prod.sh by the docs-drift CI gate):

APP_ID="com.debpalash.omnivoice-studio"
APP_NAME="OmniVoice Studio"

AppImage white-screen on Fedora 44 / Ubuntu 24.04

Newer distros ship WebKitGTK 2.44 / 2.46, which has a compositing-mode regression that lands the Tauri window as a fully-white frame with no UI.

Workaround: set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 before launching:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 ./OmniVoice.Studio_*.AppImage

OmniVoice's AppRun launcher autodetects the broken WebKitGTK range and sets this for you (shipped in v0.3+). The manual env-var path remains the documented fallback when running from a checked-out source tree.

Tracking issue: #62.

.deb ffprobe conflict

Pre-v0.3 .deb packages installed ffprobe into /usr/bin/ffprobe and clobbered the system copy on some distros. v0.3+ relocates the bundled binary into /usr/lib/omnivoice-studio/bin/ffprobe and the postrm script runs dpkg --search to undo the old conflict on upgrade. If you upgraded from a pre-v0.3 .deb and ffprobe -version now reports the wrong binary, re-install the system package:

sudo apt install --reinstall ffmpeg

Restricted networks (China / Russia)

If uv times out fetching the python-build-standalone tarball or PyPI:

# Use a faster Python source mirror (China only — verify a current mirror)
export UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_MIRROR=https://ghproxy.com/https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/download

# Use a PyPI mirror
export UV_DEFAULT_INDEX=https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple

# Or skip the download entirely if you have a compatible system Python
export UV_PYTHON_PREFERENCE=only-system

# Be tolerant of slow links
export UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT=120
export UV_HTTP_RETRIES=5

The Phase 3 install milestone (INST-07..11) ships an OS-level mirror cascade that picks these defaults automatically; for v0.3 set them by hand.
