- validate managed binaries before exec; 0-byte GGUF placeholders fail
actionably instead of "Exec format error" (#1172)
- KittenTTS: tokenizer-measured chunking to the ONNX 512-token cap;
clear 400 for unspeakable input (#1173)
- clean SIGTERM during weight load: shutdown-aware loader, benign
cancelled-load classification, lifespan hardening, scoped log
silencers (transformers load + alembic fileConfig) (#1174)
- broken ASR deep-imports (lightning_fabric) mark the engine
unavailable with a repair hint and fall through (#1185)
- uv cache + managed Python follow the chosen install drive on
Windows (cherry-picked cross-drive class fix + spaces/D: tests) (#1186)
- adaptive silence-removal ladder for quiet clone references; localized
actionable error for truly silent clips, all 21 locales (#1188)
- CHANGELOG: consolidated Unreleased into the quiet one-liner style
