Upgrade CUDA toolkit from 12.6 (cu126) to 12.8 (cu128) for proper
RTX 50-series (Blackwell) GPU support. Users with RTX 5070/5080/5090
were reporting CUDA detection failures with cu126.
Also fix the GPU Acceleration settings panel where the 'Switch to CPU
Backend' button was unreachable — it was inside a conditional block
that required !isCurrentlyCuda, making it impossible to switch back
to CPU once running on CUDA.
Closes#315
- Wrap download/verify/extract in try/finally so .download-*.tmp is
always deleted, even on mid-download or extraction failures
- Fix justfile build-server-cuda to use sh.voicebox.app (production path)
Switch CUDA builds from PyInstaller --onefile to --onedir and split the
output into two separately versioned archives:
1. Server core (~200-400MB) — versioned with the app, redownloaded on
every app update
2. CUDA libs (~2GB) — versioned independently (cu126-v1), only
redownloaded when the CUDA toolkit or torch version changes
This eliminates the ~2.4GB full redownload on every version bump.
After initial setup, most app updates only need ~200-400MB.
Closes#297
Move audio validation and saving to thread pool so librosa/ffmpeg decoding
doesn't block the async event loop. Combine validate + load into a single
pass to avoid decoding the file twice. Add 50 MB upload limit and chunked
reads to prevent unbounded memory allocation.
Closes#278
- Use DB COUNT query instead of list length for take-N label to avoid
TOCTOU race between list_versions and create_version
- Add focus:bg-muted to SelectTrigger for keyboard focus visibility
Critical:
- Remove dead backend.utils.validation PyInstaller hidden import
- Fix story_items table rebuild to preserve track/trim/version columns
- Guard cache migration against same source/destination path
- Fix regeneration audio overwrite (use random uuid suffix per take)
Major:
- Engine selector: validate language on Qwen switch, clear stale modelSize
- Sync language validation regex between profile create and generate (22 langs)
- Guard CUDA download against duplicate concurrent requests
- Only set model_size for engines that support multiple sizes
- Fix 404 swallowed by generic except in history export
- Validate audio_path before FileResponse in export-audio
- Transcription: stream uploads in 1MB chunks, use robust cache check,
call complete_download() on Whisper download success
- Set clean version as default when effects chain validation fails
- Return explicit error when Windows port occupied by non-voicebox process
Backend:
- Generation service reports 'loading_model' status only when model
is not yet in memory, then 'generating' once inference starts
- Migrate hf_offline_patch.py from print() to logging module
- Update ADDING_TTS_ENGINES.md for post-refactor file paths
Frontend:
- HistoryTable shows 'Loading model...' vs 'Generating...' based on step
- FloatingGenerateBox: replace instruct toggle + inline effects editor
with an effects preset dropdown (third dropdown after language and engine)
- Instruct UI removed for now (form field preserved for future models)
- Remove focus ring from Select component globally
Split the 2,578-line main.py (90 routes) into 12 domain-specific router
modules under routes/. main.py is now a 45-line entry point.
New structure:
- app.py: FastAPI instance, CORS, startup/shutdown, safe_content_disposition
- routes/: health, profiles, channels, generations, history, transcription,
stories, effects, audio, models, tasks, cuda
- services/cuda.py: moved from cuda_download.py
Also includes Phase 5 database/ package (from parallel agent):
- database/__init__.py re-exports all symbols for backward compat
- database/models.py, session.py, migrations.py, seed.py
All 90 routes verified registered and app imports cleanly.
