- Combine engine + model size into one flat dropdown (Qwen3-TTS 1.7B,
Qwen3-TTS 0.6B, LuxTTS) in both FloatingGenerateBox and GenerationForm
- Add linacodec git dep to requirements.txt (uv-only source, pip can't
resolve it from Zipvoice's pyproject.toml)
- Remove redundant transitive deps from requirements.txt
- Quiet the sidecar setup script (was printing misleading instructions)
Add the ability to download a CUDA-enabled backend binary (~2.4 GB) and
swap it in via a backend-only restart, solving the #1 user pain point
(19 open 'GPU not detected' issues caused by GitHub's 2 GB asset limit).
Backend:
- cuda_download.py: download from R2 (primary) or GitHub split-parts
(fallback), SHA-256 verification, atomic writes, progress via SSE
- 4 new endpoints: GET/POST/DELETE /backend/cuda-*, GET cuda-progress
- server.py: --version flag, auto-detect variant from binary name
- build_binary.py: --cuda flag for CUDA PyInstaller builds
- split_binary.py: split large binaries into <2GB GitHub Release assets
- CI workflow for building CUDA binary
Tauri:
- restart_server command (stop -> wait -> start)
- start_server prefers CUDA binary from {data_dir}/backends/ if present
- Version mismatch check: runs --version before launching CUDA binary
Frontend:
- GpuAcceleration component: download, progress, restart, switch, delete
- API client + types for CUDA status and management
- Platform lifecycle: restartServer() on Tauri/Web
- Aggressive 1s health polling during restart for fast reconnection
- Created a new .npmrc file to enforce bun usage.
- Bumped version numbers for multiple packages to 0.1.9 in bun.lock.
- Added react-sound-visualizer dependency to enhance audio visualization features.
- Introduced convert:assets script in package.json for asset optimization.
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md with instructions for converting assets to web formats.
- Added documentation files for API endpoints and developer guidelines in the docs directory.
Previously, running `bun run dev` would fail because Tauri requires
the sidecar binary to exist at compile time, even in development mode.
This forced developers to build the full PyInstaller binary before
they could start development.
This change introduces a streamlined dev workflow:
1. Add `scripts/setup-dev-sidecar.js` - Creates minimal placeholder
binaries that satisfy Tauri's compile-time check. Works cross-platform
(Windows PE stub, Unix shell script).
2. Update Rust code to gracefully handle dev mode - When the sidecar
fails to start, it checks if a manually-started server is already
running on the expected port and connects to it instead.
3. Update npm scripts - `bun run dev` now auto-runs the setup script,
and `dev:server` uses the correct port (17493).
4. Update CONTRIBUTING.md with clearer dev workflow documentation.
New development workflow:
Terminal 1: bun run dev:server
Terminal 2: bun run dev
The bundled binary is only required for production builds.
