f750596364 fix(setup): install mlx-lm and mlx-audio in setup-python on Apple Silicon (#892)
* fix(setup): install mlx-lm and mlx-audio in setup-python on Apple Silicon

The dev setup installed requirements-mlx.txt but not mlx-audio/mlx-lm
themselves, so POST /transcribe failed on a fresh Apple Silicon setup
with "No module named 'mlx_audio'" (then "No module named 'mlx_lm'").
The release workflow already installs both with --no-deps (they declare
transformers>=5.x, conflicting with our <=4.57.x cap); mirror that in
the setup-python recipe with the same pins.

* test: add MLX smoke test for the --no-deps mlx-audio/mlx-lm install

mlx-audio and mlx-lm are installed --no-deps, so a missing transitive
dependency only surfaces at import time. Add a pytest-discoverable
smoke test (skipped off Apple Silicon) covering the exact entry points
the backend uses: mlx_audio.tts.load, mlx_audio.stt.load (which also
exercises the miniaudio dep from issue #505), mlx_lm.load/generate,
and a basic mlx.core op.

Backend Tests

Manual test scripts for debugging and validating backend functionality.

Test Files

test_generation_progress.py

Tests TTS generation with SSE progress monitoring to identify UX issues where users see download progress even when the model is already cached.

Usage:

cd backend
python tests/test_generation_progress.py

Prerequisites:

  • Server must be running (python main.py)
  • At least one voice profile must exist

test_real_download.py

Tests real model download with SSE progress monitoring.

Usage:

cd backend
# Delete cache first to force fresh download
rm -rf ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--openai--whisper-base
python tests/test_real_download.py

Prerequisites:

  • Server must be running (python main.py)

test_progress.py

Unit tests for ProgressManager and HFProgressTracker functionality.

Usage:

cd backend
python tests/test_progress.py

test_check_progress_state.py

Debugging script to inspect the internal state of ProgressManager and TaskManager.

Usage:

cd backend
python tests/test_check_progress_state.py

Notes

These are manual test scripts, not automated unit tests. They're designed for:

  • Debugging progress tracking issues
  • Validating SSE event streams
  • Monitoring real-time download behavior
  • Inspecting internal state during development
