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 Troubleshooting

The top 10 errors users have actually hit on v0.2.x, with their causes and fixes. Most have a deeplink anchor that the in-app error UI's "Open docs for this error" button targets directly.

1. pkg_resources missing (ModuleNotFoundError)

Symptom: the splash screen shows ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' during WhisperX import, and the app never advances past the "Setting up models" step.

Cause: WhisperX (and a couple of its transitive deps) still imports pkg_resources, which was removed from setuptools >= 70. Older uv sync runs would resolve setuptools to a version that no longer ships it.

Fix: pull the latest main. pyproject.toml now pins setuptools>=70,<81 and the WhisperX dep is patched to import from importlib.metadata first.

Linked issue: #58

2. HF 401 / pyannote license not accepted

Symptom: dubbing fails with HfHubHTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url …pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1…, or diarization silently falls back to a single speaker.

Cause: pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1 is a gated model — even with a valid HF token, you need to accept the model's license on its HuggingFace page before the token works for downloads.

Fix:

  1. Open Settings → API Keys in the app and paste a working HF token (or set HF_TOKEN in your env). See docs/setup/huggingface-token.md.
  2. Visit https://huggingface.co/pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1 while signed in with the same HF account → click "Agree and access repository".
  3. Retry the job. The token state in Settings → API Keys should now show the "App" row with a green check next to your username.

Linked issue: #35

3. Gatekeeper quarantine on macOS

Symptom: "OmniVoice Studio.app is damaged and can't be opened."

Cause: the app is not yet notarised (tracked for v0.4) — macOS quarantines every download.

Fix: see macos.md#gatekeeper-quarantine.

4. AppImage white screen on Fedora 44 / Ubuntu 24.04

Symptom: the AppImage window opens fully white. No UI ever appears.

Cause: WebKitGTK 2.44 / 2.46 compositing-mode regression.

Fix: see linux.md#appimage-white-screen-on-fedora-44--ubuntu-2404.

5. Windows Triton / torch.compile OOM

Symptom: the first synthesis call fails with OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory or RuntimeError: Triton compilation failed, especially on <16 GB VRAM GPUs.

Cause: the engine's torch.compile step compiles Triton kernels with a peak memory footprint that exceeds free VRAM. Windows-only quirk.

Fix: see windows.md#torch-compile-oom.

Linked issue: #65

6. uv venv Python download fails (restricted network)

Symptom: during first launch, uv exits with a network error pulling python-build-standalone from GitHub. Common in China, intermittently in Russia, sometimes on corporate proxies.

Fix: see linux.md#restricted-networks-china--russia (same env vars work on macOS and Windows — UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_MIRROR, UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT=120, UV_HTTP_RETRIES=5, UV_PYTHON_PREFERENCE=only-system).

Linked issues: #57, #60.

7. .deb ffprobe path conflict on upgrade

Symptom: after upgrading from a pre-v0.3 .deb, ffprobe -version reports "OmniVoice bundled ffprobe" instead of the system ffmpeg, breaking other apps that rely on /usr/bin/ffprobe.

Fix: see linux.md#deb-ffprobe-conflict.

8. Docker LAN access — media preview 404

Symptom: OmniVoice loads on http://<lan-ip>:3900 but the audio preview pane shows 404s for /media/....

Cause: pre-v0.3, the frontend hardcoded localhost:3900 for media-preview URLs, which is wrong when the UI is reached from a different LAN host.

Fix: Plan 01-03 ships a fix that derives the media-preview base from window.location.host. See docker.md#lan-access for the override env var (VITE_OMNIVOICE_API) when running behind a reverse proxy.

9. Apple Silicon mlx-whisper unavailable on Intel mac

Symptom: on an Intel mac, OmniVoice logs mlx-whisper backend unavailable; falling back to faster-whisper.

Cause: mlx-whisper and mlx-audio only build for arm64 (Apple Silicon).

Fix: none needed — faster-whisper (CTranslate2) is the supported Intel path and is still fast. If you want the latest CT2 wheels, run uv sync from a fresh source checkout.

10. IndexTTS / CosyVoice / ChatterboxTTS clash

Symptom: installing one of these engines breaks the others — e.g. after installing CosyVoice, IndexTTS errors out with import conflicts.

Cause: these engines pin incompatible transformer / torch versions inside their own engine venvs. Pre-v0.3 they shared a single venv.

Fix: Phase 2 ships subprocess isolation per engine (each engine runs in its own venv). For v0.3, workaround: install only one of the conflicting engines per OmniVoice copy. See docs/engines/cosyvoice.md for the dedicated CosyVoice path.
