📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds an opt-in STT stack with Moonshine streaming, Silero VAD, and whisper.cpp batch transcription. It defines shared protocol schemas and types, tiered model fetching, container and native launch paths, health checks, and integration tests. ChangesSpeech-to-text service
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds streaming and batch speech-to-text services, but the current head still has concrete correctness and availability risks: valid paused or bursty streams may be rejected, long utterances can cause excessive decoding work, batch health can report readiness when the backend is unavailable, and native runs can misroute ports or leave stale processes behind. Audio-format metadata is also missing from the streaming contract, and several verification checks can pass without testing the intended behavior; these issues should be addressed before merge.

In `@apps/backend/local-stack/bin/run-native-stt.sh`:
- Around line 26-28: Update the header documentation for run-native-stt.sh in
apps/backend/local-stack/bin/run-native-stt.sh lines 26-28 to remove the claim
that models are downloaded when absent and state that the fetcher provisions
them. Update apps/backend/local-stack/README.md lines 305-314 to exclude
run-native-stt.sh from the first-run auto-download statement and document that
STT requires the fetcher to provision models.
- Line 33: Export WHISPER_PORT in run-native-stt.sh before launching
stt_server.py, preserving the configured or default value so the server reads
the same port used by batch proxying.
- Around line 72-87: Update the launcher to retain the background whisper-server
process and clean it up when the script exits, replacing the current exec-based
handoff with equivalent Python invocation plus an EXIT trap or explicit PID
cleanup; preserve normal signal and exit-status behavior. Also replace the
predictable /tmp/whisper-server.log path with a securely created unique
temporary log file.
In `@apps/backend/local-stack/docker/voice/stt_server.py`:
- Around line 446-448: Update batch_available() to probe the internal
whisper-server port and return true only when the engine is reachable, rather
than checking only the batch model file; preserve the unavailable result when
whisper-server is missing or stopped so capabilities and health reflect process
liveness.
- Around line 697-720: Replace the cumulative byte-rate validation in the stream
receive loop with a sliding-window check that tracks recent payload bytes and
elapsed time. Remove the under-delivery rejection so pauses, muted clients, and
stalls remain valid; reject only sustained over-delivery above the existing rate
tolerance, preserving the existing bad-audio-format response through
_stream_error.
- Around line 293-304: Update _maybe_partial so partial recognition uses a
bounded trailing window of self._buffer instead of decoding the entire
utterance; preserve the existing timing, interval, marker, and partial-event
behavior while ensuring the window size limits per-decode work as the utterance
grows.
- Around line 269-272: Update the detector-draining loop to preserve the
SpeechSegment data before self._detector.pop() invalidates the front reference:
read or copy segment.start and segment.samples before popping, then finalize
using the preserved data, or finalize before pop while retaining the existing
empty-check behavior.
In `@apps/backend/local-stack/README.md`:
- Around line 143-147: Update the STT opt-in instructions near the warning to
require including the STT compose override file, compose.stt.yaml, in addition
to adding the stt profile and setting ENABLE_STT=true, so port 8087 is exposed
as documented. Keep the privacy-preserving default behavior unchanged.
In `@apps/backend/local-stack/scripts/check.sh`:
- Around line 76-82: Update the no-STT render command in the AC-7 check to
explicitly set COMPOSE_FILE to the intended non-STT compose files, matching the
pinned configuration used by the all-profiles render, so ambient environment or
.env values cannot add compose.stt.yaml.
In `@apps/backend/local-stack/stack/stt_service.test.ts`:
- Line 74: Defer the parseWav call in the fixture initialization so it only runs
when the STT service is reachable, or catch parsing failures and leave fixture
unset for the existing per-test “fixture missing” handling. Preserve the suite’s
skip behavior when STT_URL is unavailable and prevent module import from
throwing on an invalid fixture.
- Around line 222-226: Add a keyword assertion to the speech-recognition test
alongside the existing editDistance check, requiring the normalized transcript
in final.text to contain a meaningful expected keyword while preserving the
current distance assertion.
- Around line 51-74: Update parseWav to validate that the fixture uses the wire
contract’s 16 kHz sample rate and mono channel layout, throwing a
fixture-specific error when either value is incorrect; retain the existing
16-bit validation and return behavior.
- Around line 305-317: Update the FormData file payload in the STT transcription
test to use the fixture’s original WAV bytes rather than fixture.pcm, while
preserving the utterance.wav filename and audio/wav MIME type so the batch
endpoint receives a valid WAV file.
- Around line 287-299: Update the AC-9 test around the cross-origin handshake to
use an actual WebSocket client or raw socket upgrade, rather than fetch with
WebSocket headers. Connect to the /v1/stream endpoint with the disallowed
Origin, assert that the upgrade is rejected with status 403, and verify no audio
is sent before failure.
In `@apps/backend/local-stack/stack/stt.test.ts`:
- Around line 215-223: Extend the test around run with profiles 'stt' and
entryIds ['stt-whisper-base'] to assert that stt/silero_vad.onnx does not exist,
while retaining the existing positive assertion for the Whisper model.
- Around line 194-203: Await every resolves assertion in the STT test, including
the positive and negative file-existence checks shown and the corresponding
assertion around the nearby line 222 check, so mismatches fail the test before
it completes.
In `@apps/frontend/docs/src/content/docs/guides/run-locally.mdx`:
- Around line 42-47: Correct the STT documentation sentence in the section
describing COMPOSE_PROFILES, ENABLE_STT, and COMPOSE_FILE so it states that the
microphone-adjacent service must not start unasked and is opt-in. Preserve the
surrounding explanation that all three settings are required and that stack init
configures them when STT is selected.
In `@packages/shared/schemas/src/lib/local_ai/stt.ts`:
- Around line 84-88: Extend SttClientStartMessageSchema with the required audio
field using SttAudioFormatSchema, validate this format before emitting the
server’s ready response, and update the client start-message construction and
related tests to include the required audio format object.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Stop the background whisper-server when the launcher exits.
Line 87 uses exec, so the shell is replaced by python3. The backgrounded whisper-server becomes an orphan and keeps holding $WHISPER_PORT. A second run of the script then fails to bind 8091, and batch stays broken until the user kills the process by hand.
Add a trap and drop exec, or record the PID and clean it up.
Also consider a unique log path. /tmp/whisper-server.log is predictable, so a pre-created symlink on a shared host can redirect the writes (CWE-377).

sherpa-onnx Python VoiceActivityDetector front pop empty SpeechSegment samples start attribute
💡 Result:
In the sherpa-onnx Python API, SpeechSegment objects are returned by the VoiceActivityDetector and contain a start attribute and a samples attribute [1][2][3]. Key Technical Details: 1. Accessing Properties: In Python, front is a property, not a method. You should access it as vad.front (without parentheses) rather than calling it like a function [4]. 2. Usage Pattern: It is a critical error to access vad.front or call vad.pop when vad.empty returns True [2][5]. Always check vad.empty first in your processing loop [4][6][7]. 3. Segment Validity: The SpeechSegment object returned by vad.front is a reference that remains valid only until the next method call on the VoiceActivityDetector instance (such as calling vad.pop) [2][5]. If you need to keep the segment data, you must copy or use the samples before calling vad.pop [4]. 4. Empty Segments: If you encounter an empty segment (e.g., after a flush), it is often due to the VAD finalizing a segment based on internal timing parameters or incomplete buffer processing [4]. Ensure you are calling vad.flush to finalize the last segment if necessary [4][7]. Recommended Loop Logic: while not vad.empty: segment = vad.front # Property, no parentheses # Process 'segment.start' and 'segment.samples' here vad.pop # Now it is safe to remove the segment from the queue Following this sequence ensures you do not access stale data or trigger errors by calling pop on an empty queue [4][5].

sherpa-onnx 1.13.4 Python VoiceActivityDetector front property SpeechSegment samples start
💡 Result:
In the sherpa-onnx Python API (including version 1.13.4), the VoiceActivityDetector class provides access to completed speech segments via the front property and active speech via the current_segment property [1][2]. 1. front property: This property returns a reference to the earliest completed speech segment (a segment followed by sufficient silence) [1][3]. It is essential to check that the detector is not empty using the empty method before accessing front to avoid errors [1][3]. After processing the segment from front, you typically use the pop method to remove it from the queue [4][5]. The SpeechSegment object returned by front has two readonly properties: - start: The starting sample index of the speech segment [1][3]. - samples: The audio samples corresponding to the segment [1][4]. 2. current_segment property: This property provides access to the speech segment currently being detected (before it is finalized/completed) [2]. It can be used to process audio as soon as speech is detected [2]. Like the completed segments, it returns a SpeechSegment object containing start and samples properties [1][2]. For example, to process completed segments in a loop: while not vad.empty: segment = vad.front # Process segment.samples or segment.start vad.pop To check for active speech: if vad.is_speech_detected: current = vad.current_segment # Process current.samples or current.start

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Partial decodes re-run the recognizer over the whole utterance.
_maybe_partial passes self._buffer to _decode. The buffer grows for the entire utterance, up to STT_VAD_MAX_SPEECH_MS (30 s by default). Decode cost therefore grows with utterance length, and the total work for one utterance is quadratic. Each decode also holds self._decode_lock, which blocks every other session.
Cap the partial decode to a trailing window, or skip the partial when the buffer exceeds a size limit.

Send the original WAV bytes to the batch endpoint, not the extracted PCM.
fixture.pcm is the raw data chunk payload. Line 66 slices past the RIFF header, so the blob contains headerless PCM while the filename and MIME type claim WAV. whisper.cpp parses a WAV header, so this request either fails or is misparsed. The test then fails at line 317 for a reason unrelated to the batch contract.
Keep the original file bytes for this test.

47, Correct the STT documentation sentence in the section describing
COMPOSE_PROFILES, ENABLE_STT, and COMPOSE_FILE so it states that the
microphone-adjacent service must not start unasked and is opt-in. Preserve the
surrounding explanation that all three settings are required and that stack init
configures them when STT is selected.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Add required audio metadata to the start message.
The binary PCM frames do not contain sample-rate, channel-count, or encoding metadata. The server cannot reject a 44.1 kHz or stereo PCM stream when SttClientStartMessageSchema only sends language and protocolVersion.
Add a required audio: SttAudioFormatSchema field. Validate it before the server sends ready. Update the client and the start-message tests with the required format object.
Proposed protocol change
export const SttClientStartMessageSchema = Type.Object({
type: Type.Literal('start'),
language: Type.Optional(Type.String()),
+ audio: SttAudioFormatSchema,
protocolVersion: Type.Literal(1),

What was built
Two-protocol STT service on the existing sherpa voice container: stdlib streaming websocket server (Moonshine + Silero VAD, WS /v1/stream) + OpenAI-compatible batch endpoint (whisper.cpp via POST /v1/audio/transcriptions), with GET /v1/capabilities and model-aware health. Shared TypeBox schemas/types define the wire contract for C-359. STT is opt-in (AC-7), manifest-pinned model tiers with fetcher selection (AC-11), native macOS launcher parity (AC-12, scripted/static; Darwin live run deferred).
Verification
All 12 ACs verified. Live wire-contract tests 8/8 against built voice container (AC-1 partials+final, AC-2 VAD, AC-3 OpenAI batch, AC-4 capabilities, AC-5 language, AC-6 bad format, AC-9 Origin 403, AC-10 health). AC-8 live fs/log scan: 0 audio files, 0 transcript lines. check.sh static 87/87. Structural audit clean.
