Summary

Resolves #2105 by updating the documentation and CI workflow to reflect that omnivoice.cpp at the pinned SHA builds and runs cleanly on Apple Silicon with Metal acceleration (-DGGML_METAL=ON).

Changes

  • Drops experimental: true (continue-on-error) for the macos-14 runner in .github/workflows/build-omnivoice-tts.yml to ensure future Apple Silicon Metal regressions are caught in CI.
  • Updates bin/README.md to point to .github/workflows/build-omnivoice-tts.yml and state that macOS Apple Silicon builds cleanly with -DGGML_METAL=ON.
  • Updates docs/adr/SPIKE-01-gguf.md and backend/engines/omnivoice_gguf/README.md to record verified Metal runtime compatibility.
  • Credits @martinezpl in CHANGELOG.md under ## [Unreleased].

Closes #2105

Type

  • 📝 Documentation
  • 🔧 CI / Build

Testing

  • Validated tests/test_changelog_style.py (passes with 0 violations).
  • Validated .github/workflows/build-omnivoice-tts.yml YAML syntax.
  • Verified build script interface via scripts/build-omnivoice-tts.sh --help.

Checklist

  • I've tested this locally
  • I've updated relevant documentation
  • My code follows the code style of this project

The change removes the experimental status from the macOS Apple Silicon CI build and documents verified Metal support at the pinned omnivoice.cpp SHA. This enables CI to detect future Apple Silicon Metal build regressions and documents GGUF runtime availability on that platform. Confirm that CI produces and publishes the Apple Silicon binary; the supplied evidence does not show that artifact changed.

…error (debpalash#2105)

- Drops experimental flag (continue-on-error) on macos-14 in build-omnivoice-tts.yml now that omnivoice.cpp builds cleanly with -DGGML_METAL=ON at the pinned SHA.
- Updates bin/README.md, backend/engines/omnivoice_gguf/README.md, and SPIKE-01 ADR to document verified Apple Silicon Metal acceleration.
- Corrects workflow reference in bin/README.md.
- Adds changelog credit for @martinezpl.

Closes debpalash#2105

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The macOS arm64 CI build is now non-experimental and uses -DGGML_METAL=ON. Related documentation records the verified Apple Silicon Metal build. The changelog also records README, Electron, support-page, and integrations updates.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title describes the Apple Silicon Metal documentation and CI change and the body contains issue reference #2105. It uses the conventional-commit prefix docs: but does not include the required scope.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #2105 requires the verified darwin-arm64 Metal build to replace the tracked 0-byte bin/omnivoice-tts-darwin-arm64 placeholder. The workflow now invokes the pinned build and sets experimental: false, but the reviewed binary remains empty and the workflow only uploads a temporary artifact. Add the CI-produced non-empty Apple Silicon binary and required companion files, or establish that the issue does not require the out-of-box binary.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

CHANGELOG.md adds Unreleased entries for Issue #2129 about the Electron UI, support pages, Integrations, and first-run flow. These entries do not document the Apple Silicon Metal build required by Issue #2105. Remove the unrelated #2129 changelog changes from this pull request.

Confirm the blocking arm64 build before merging.

Setting experimental: false makes the darwin-arm64 leg fail the workflow when Metal configuration or compilation exits 2. The supplied verification list does not include a successful run at the pinned SHA; confirm that the run produced the arm64 artifact before relying on this flag.

Qualify the Metal availability claims.

A successful CI compilation does not guarantee unconditional end-user Metal availability. Preserve the conditions for a packaged, usable binary and the existing VoiceStudioBackend fallback.

  • bin/README.md#L26-L28: qualify “without falling back” for artifacts that pass binary preflight.
  • backend/engines/omnivoice_gguf/README.md#L116-L119: qualify “out of the box” for packaged binaries that are not blocked by Gatekeeper or placeholders.

P1 Unreleased fixes are removed

Replacing the existing Unreleased Fixed entries drops nine pending #2129 release notes, so the next release changelog will omit already-landed fixes. Retain those entries and add the #2105 credit alongside them.

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!
