The first CUDA inference pays a large lazy cost (kernel autotune/cudnn) — ~10s for a cold TTS synth — which would blow the voice loop's ~1s budget on the very first reply. Each worker now runs one dummy inference (TTS: a short phrase; STT: 1s of silence) after model load and before emitting "ready", so "ready" means "hot". Warmup failures are logged and never block startup. Verified: first real call after startup is now TTS ~238ms / STT ~189ms (was ~11s cold for TTS). 12 tests pass.

"""Persistent faster-whisper STT worker.
|
|
|
|
faster-whisper (ctranslate2) lives in its own Python (whisper312); loading the
|
|
model takes seconds, so we load it ONCE here and then serve transcription
|
|
requests over stdin/stdout. This process is launched with the whisper312
|
|
interpreter by wsai.backends.whisper.WhisperSTT.
|
|
|
|
Like the MeloTTS worker, model/backend chatter could corrupt the JSON protocol,
|
|
so on startup we split the streams: a private duplicate of the original stdout
|
|
carries the protocol, and fd 1 is redirected to fd 2 so any library print lands
|
|
on stderr instead (where the parent drains it for diagnostics).
|
|
|
|
Protocol (one JSON object per line, on the protocol channel):
|
|
<- {"wav": "/abs/path.wav", "language": "ko"}
|
|
-> {"ok": true, "text": "...", "language": "ko", "ms": 123}
|
|
-> {"ok": false, "error": "..."}
|
|
On startup, once the model is ready, it emits exactly one line:
|
|
-> {"ready": true, "ms": <load-ms>, "device": "cpu", "model": "small"}
