Pre-release fixes - #16
Conversation
- add checksummed release installers with source fallback - introduce 0.1.0 package versioning and runtime notices - align server profiles and CUDA compatibility
- add portable microphone capture with miniaudio - add indexed model aliases, defaults, caching, and verified downloads - fall back unsupported blas ops to CPU
- gate transient speaker channels and revise recent diarization frames - align word attribution to speaker onsets - preserve CTC confidence and valid JSON output
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds indexed model discovery and downloads, live microphone transcription, diarization channel gating, unified GGML logging, CUDA 12/13 and Windows cuBLAS support, expanded build presets, installer updates, documentation, and integration tests. ChangesCore runtime and model workflows
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change still has merge-readiness issues: Windows downloads can execute an unintended curl.exe, loopback downloads can follow redirects to arbitrary HTTP hosts, and large JSON sizes can reach an unsafe integer conversion; several defaults, logging behaviors, licensing details, and setup instructions also remain inconsistent. These create concrete security, correctness, compliance, and usability risks, so the PR is not ready to merge until the major issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@app/microphone_capture.cpp`:
- Around line 41-43: Replace the unbounded pending insertion in the microphone
capture callback with a preallocated bounded ring buffer, maintaining fixed
capacity across drain operations instead of relying on swap. Define and
implement a non-blocking overflow policy, such as dropping the newest or oldest
samples, and ensure callback writes never allocate or exceed the configured
queue capacity.
In `@app/model_store.cpp`:
- Around line 752-759: Update valid_file and the successful-install flow in
materialize to persist a verification marker containing the artifact SHA-256,
installed size, and modification time. On cache hits, accept the file when its
size and current modification time match the marker and expected artifact
digest; otherwise recompute sha256_file, refresh the marker on success, and
preserve full hashing for freshly downloaded artifacts.
- Around line 630-643: Move construction of executable_string and the argv
vector, including argument pointers and the terminating null, before fork() in
the surrounding process-launching function. Keep the child branch limited to
execv() and _exit(127), preserving the existing error handling and argument
order.
In `@config/server.example.yaml`:
- Around line 52-55: Update the example’s diarization configuration comment and
placement to match the documented semantics: either remove the claim that
top-level diar enables word-level speaker tags in ASR responses, or move the
model configuration under asr.diar.model_path when ASR labels are intended. Keep
standalone top-level diar configuration semantics consistent with
docs/server.md.
In `@docs/install.md`:
- Line 18: Update both installer examples to fetch scripts from an immutable
release tag or commit instead of the mutable main branch, and add a published
checksum or signature verification step before execution. Preserve the existing
installation behavior while ensuring each downloaded script is verified prior to
being run.
In `@docs/model-conversion.md`:
- Around line 13-20: Use the portable python command family throughout both
conversion guides: in docs/model-conversion.md lines 13-20, replace python3 with
python for virtual-environment creation, pip installation, and convert_model.py
execution; in docs/nmt/models.md lines 15-17, use python -m pip after
activation. Keep the existing Windows activation guidance unchanged.
In `@docs/server.md`:
- Around line 106-114: Update the WebSocket authentication guidance near the
api_key query-string reference to warn that URL credentials may be logged or
retained by proxies and tooling. Keep bearer headers as the default, and
recommend a short-lived or restricted API key or an authenticated same-origin
proxy for browser WebSockets.
In `@scripts/install.ps1`:
- Around line 32-35: Update the source-selection logic around $sourceUrl so the
local-checkout check does not call Join-Path on the default HTTPS repository
URL. Remove that branch or restrict it to explicitly local paths, while
preserving $NEMO_SPEECH_SOURCE_REF as the revision override for remote source
installs.
In `@src/asr/decoders/greedy_ctc_decoder.cpp`:
- Around line 52-65: Update CtcHeadModule::build_graph so probabilities from
build_probs are guaranteed to be strictly positive before applying ggml_log.
Clamp the F32 probs tensor to a small positive floor, or replace the log
operation with a numerically stable log-softmax implementation, while preserving
the existing output TensorBag contract.
In `@src/runtime/ggml/logging.cpp`:
- Around line 35-44: Update the logging code around the ggml_log_callback
invocation to allocate the final formatted buffer based on the prefix length
plus len, rather than the fixed 4096-byte formatted_buffer. Format the prefix
and message into this dynamically sized buffer and pass the complete result to
callback, preserving proper null termination and cleanup.
In `@src/tts/magpietts/magpietts.cpp`:
- Around line 297-315: Replace the Magpie-specific process-wide GGML callback
registration in MagpieStreamingRuntime::load with the shared dispatcher used by
Magpie TTS, NMT, and CLI logging, while preserving verbose-level configuration
and ensuring all component logs continue reaching their respective filters.
In `@third_party/miniaudio/LICENSE`:
- Around line 1-18: Replace the vendored miniaudio LICENSE text with the
complete license for version 0.11.25 at commit
9634bedb5b5a2ca38c1ee7108a9358a4e233f14d, preserving both the Public Domain and
MIT No Attribution alternatives and the 2025 copyright year. Update
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md to record that pinned commit.

EmptyHOMEandLOCALAPPDATAhave the same problem.Check that each variable is non-empty before constructing the cache path. Otherwise, model downloads can write large artifacts into an unexpected working directory.
