fix(runtime): integrate reviewed engine, transcription, and import reliability fixes - #2170
Conversation
The CUDA base image is pytorch/pytorch:2.8.0-cuda12.8-cudnn9-runtime, so it ships cuDNN 9. CTranslate2 — WhisperX and faster-whisper — links cuDNN 8, and its absence aborts the backend process outright rather than raising (#1371). scripts/setup.py side-loads the cuDNN 8 libraries for source installs, but the Dockerfile never did, so every CTranslate2 ASR engine was unavailable in Docker and the demo synthesis timed out with libcudnn_ops_infer.so.8 missing. Install the same nvidia-cudnn-cu12==8.9.7.29 shim during the image build, deriving the target from sys.prefix so it matches where backend/core/cudnn8.py searches rather than hardcoding the conda path — sys.prefix differs between the conda-based CUDA image and the ROCm venv. Guarded to GPU_FLAVOR=cuda, since ROCm does not use cuDNN, and --no-deps keeps the base image's torch stack untouched. A post-install assert fails the build if no .so.8 libraries landed, rather than letting it resurface as the same runtime warning. Fixes #2050
/dub/import-srt fell back to Latin-1 when UTF-8 failed, so a UTF-16 .srt (Notepad's "Unicode", many subtitle editors) decoded with a NUL between every character and was rejected as having no cues, and a Windows-1252 one turned curly quotes and dashes into C1 control characters. /audiobook/import decoded .txt/.md with errors="ignore", silently dropping every accent, dash and curly quote from a Windows-1252 manuscript, returning NUL-interleaved text for a UTF-16 one, and keeping a UTF-8 BOM at the start of the editor text. Both now use decode_text_upload: a BOM names the encoding, valid UTF-8 stays UTF-8, and anything else is read as Windows-1252, with Latin-1 for the bytes cp1252 leaves undefined so the decode never raises.

Stories -> Import read the picked file with File.text(), which decodes UTF-8 only, so a UTF-16 script came back NUL-riddled and a Windows-1252 one as replacement characters. Dub -> Paste translation -> Load file used FileReader.readAsText(), which handles a UTF-16 BOM but still turned Windows-1252 accents, dashes and quotes into replacement characters. Both now go through readTextFile, which applies decode_text_upload's rule with TextDecoder: a BOM names the encoding, valid UTF-8 stays UTF-8, anything else is Windows-1252.

…e file Review follow-up. A Windows-1252 upload with one of the five bytes cp1252 leaves undefined fell back to decoding the entire file as Latin-1, so its curly quotes, dashes and euro signs became C1 control characters. Only the undefined bytes now take their Latin-1 code point, which is what the browser's windows-1252 decoder does, so readTextFile and decode_text_upload agree byte for byte.

The SRT/VTT formatters in dub_export and openai_compat truncated (seconds % 1) * 1000. Most decimal times are not exact in binary (2.3 is 2.29999...), so a cue imported as 00:00:02,300 exported as 00:00:02,299: every such cue moved a millisecond early in the /dub/srt and /dub/vtt downloads, burned-in subtitles, and /v1/audio/transcriptions srt/vtt. All four now call srt_parser.format_cue_timestamp, which rounds the whole value to milliseconds once and splits it, so 59.9996 carries to 00:01:00,000 rather than printing ",1000" -- the same round-then-divmod shape karaoke_ass._ass_time already uses.

alembic reads alembic.ini with encoding="locale". On Python 3.11 that is the Windows ANSI code page even under PYTHONUTF8=1, which the desktop shell sets, so the em dashes in the ini's comments raised UnicodeDecodeError inside Config() on cp932/cp936/cp949/cp950 systems. _run_alembic_upgrade treats that as "alembic unavailable": every startup logged "alembic upgrade head skipped: 'cp949' codec can't decode byte 0xe2", never took the pre-migration backup, and never ran a migration -- including the data-healing ones (0006/0007) that the additive column reconcile cannot replace. The ini is now ASCII, with a note saying why, and a test parses it in each of those code pages with the parser alembic builds and pins it ASCII. Same Python 3.11 locale-decoding class as the .pth fix in #1795. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dub -> Paste translation -> Load file accepts .vtt and sends timestamped text to the lenient SRT parser, which is meant to take VTT too. Two ordinary WebVTT files broke it: - Cues without an hours field (00:01.000 --> 00:04.500) matched neither the frontend's timing detector nor the backend pattern, so the dialog mapped WEBVTT, the timing lines and the dialogue as plain translations, and the endpoint itself answered "No timed cues found". - A cue identifier or NOTE block after a cue became part of that cue's text, because only digit-only index lines were trimmed. The hours are now optional in both patterns, as dub_pipeline's yt-dlp caption parser already allows. For WebVTT input a cue's text ends at its first blank line, as the format specifies; SRT keeps its lenient blank-line handling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review follow-up: packaged desktop installs do not ship alembic.ini, so the locale decode only reaches from-source runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ough TorchCodec torchaudio >= 2.9 sends save()/load() through TorchCodec, which requires FFmpeg shared libraries. Without them every generation returns 500 and every reference-audio read (cloning, watermark, dub) raises ImportError. Follow-up to #1931: that issue's fix guarded set_audio_backend() but left load()/save() unprotected, so the RTX 50-series users it identified as having no choice but to leave the torch 2.8.0 pin still hit a hard failure. - _safe_torchaudio_save: fall back to the audited _safe_soundfile_write - _safe_soundfile_write: optional format= passthrough (BytesIO needs it) - load_audio: catch ImportError so its existing pydub fallback actually runs backend="soundfile" does not avoid this; 2.9 accepts and ignores it. Signed-off-by: Moep90 <volleyballlive@googlemail.com>
The fallback divided every decode by 32768.0, which is only correct for
16-bit input. pydub reports 8-bit as sample_width 1 and widens 24-bit to a
full-range int32 (sample_width 4), so a reference clip came back 32768x too
loud for 24- and 32-bit sources and 256x too quiet for 8-bit ones. Nothing
downstream clamps, so the clip silently became noise.
Measured on x86_64 with pydub 0.25.1, peak of a 0.5-amplitude sine:
PCM_U8 0.00195 PCM_24 32768.0
PCM_16 0.5 PCM_32 32768.0
Catching ImportError made this reachable for everyone: before, the fallback
ran only for formats torchaudio could not open, but on torchaudio >= 2.9
without TorchCodec it is the only path, turning a loud failure into a silent
wrong result. Fixing it here rather than leaving it for the next reader.
pydub already exposes the right divisor as max_possible_amplitude. No 24-bit
special case is needed: its own comment claims 24-bit values are "not scaled
up to the 32 bit range", but the conversion writes the pad byte first, so it
lands in the LSB and the sample does occupy the full int32 range. Verified
empirically across all five subtypes above.
Also corrects this file's motivation: torch 2.8.0 from the pinned cu128
index does carry sm_120 (arch_list confirmed on an sm_120 device, matching
CU128_ARCHS in tests/test_cuda_arch_compat.py), so the earlier claim that
RTX 50-series owners must leave the pin was wrong.

…omments Both comments said #1931's cohort has no choice but to leave the torch 2.8.0 pin because it carries no sm_120 kernels. That is wrong for this repo's pin: pyproject resolves torch==2.8.0 from the cu128 index, whose arch_list includes sm_120 (confirmed on an sm_120 device, and already asserted by CU128_ARCHS in tests/test_cuda_arch_compat.py). State the forcing function that is actually verifiable instead: torch 2.8.0 publishes no aarch64 wheel, so arm64 CUDA hosts land on 2.9 with no 2.8.0 option at all.

Three comments justify the set_audio_backend() hasattr guard by asserting
that the pinned torch 2.8.0 carries no sm_120 kernels, so Blackwell owners
have no choice but to upgrade. The pinned build does carry them.
On a Blackwell GPU (capability (12, 0)) running this repo's own resolved
environment, torch 2.8.0+cu128 reports:
arch_list ['sm_70', 'sm_75', 'sm_80', 'sm_86', 'sm_90', 'sm_100', 'sm_120']
capability (12, 0)
cuda_matmul OK
import torch succeeds and CUDA runs. pyproject.toml:282 resolves torch from
the cu128 index, and tests/test_cuda_arch_compat.py:39 already lists sm_120
in CU128_ARCHS, so the repo asserted the opposite of these comments in two
places at once.
#1931 itself reported an `import torch` access violation on Windows with an
sm_120 card, and attributed it to missing kernel support. The symptom was
real and the reporter did resolve it by moving to torch 2.9.1; the stated
mechanism is what got copied into the comments.
The guard's justification survives intact: sm_120 users did land on torch
2.9.x, which brings torchaudio 2.9, which is what removed set_audio_backend().
Only the reason changes. Also drops two related over-attributions in the same
files, where the crash was described as hitting Blackwell or RTX 50-series
machines rather than any machine on torchaudio 2.9.
Comments and one assertion message only. No behaviour change, no test logic
touched. Not re-litigating #1931's fix.

Review catch: the code comments were corrected while
docs/install/troubleshooting.md still gave users the false diagnosis in two
places, which is the docs-sync rule exactly. The user-facing wording was the
stronger of the two:
5b: "the wheel does not contain code for the GPU" and "no setting works
around it"
1052: "This is a property of the pinned build, not of your driver or your
install"
The second is actively misleading. Since torch 2.8.0+cu128 does list sm_120 in
get_arch_list(), the driver, the platform and the native init path are exactly
where the cause plausibly is, and the doc steered readers away from them.
Both sections now state that the cause is not established, that the pinned
build does contain Blackwell code, and that moving the trio to 2.9.x is the
known workaround for the users who hit it. 5b also gains a get_arch_list()
command so a reader can check their own build instead of trusting a blanket
claim. The fix steps are unchanged.
Also softens the CU128_ARCHS citation in the three comments. That list is
fixture data fed to a mocked torch, captured verbatim from the #1285 report,
so it corroborates the arch list but does not assert what the installed wheel
contains. Saying it "already asserts" overstated it.

Audit leftover in the same file: the "Keeping the change" note explained that the default pin cannot move because "a build that adds sm_120 can drop older architectures". That still implies the pinned build lacks sm_120, sixty lines below the corrected cause. The reason the default cannot move is simply that a newer build can drop older GPUs, which cu128 already did for Maxwell and Pascal. Deliberately not restating the resulting floor. docs/competitive-analysis.md says Turing sm_75, but the pinned 2.8.0+cu128 build reports sm_70 first, so the claim is unverified and left out rather than copied.

…lease Two review findings on the troubleshooting section. The get_arch_list() check told users to run `import torch` in a section whose documented symptom is `import torch` crashing natively, so it was useless for exactly its intended readers. It now leads with that: if the import crashes, that is the symptom, skip to the fix. The check keeps its remaining purpose of ruling the missing-kernel theory out where torch does import. "The cu128 wheels dropped Maxwell and Pascal" attributed the drop to the CUDA variant when it tracks the torch release. CU128_ARCHS carries sm_61 from the #1285 build, which predates 2.8; the pinned 2.8.0+cu128 build reports sm_70 first. Both are right for their own release, so the blanket claim was not. Stated as the two measurements instead, and deliberately not extended to 2.9.x, which is unmeasured here.

Three comments name Blackwell sm_120 as an architecture Triton/Inductor does not support. Measured on an sm_120 device with the pinned torch 2.8.0+cu128 and triton 3.4.0: torch.compile default and reduce-overhead (the cudagraph_trees path #278 names), an attention module over growing sequence lengths, and a raw Triton kernel all run, with compiled output matching eager (maxdiff 1.19e-06 and 0.0). The app's own probe agrees — arch_unsupported returns None, so compile is already attempted there. The error text #278 quotes is also misattributed. "Detected that you are using FX to symbolically trace a dynamo-optimized function" reproduces with CUDA unavailable: Dynamo raises it whenever FX traces a compiled function, regardless of device. It belongs in the compile-stack classifier, not in the evidence for a missing-architecture failure. Comments only. The fallback contract and the arch-list gate are unchanged and still correct: the gate is generic rather than a Blackwell blocklist, and on a build whose arch list lacks the device the described mechanism holds. Only the example and the FX attribution are stale. Signed-off-by: Moep90 <volleyballlive@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: moep90 <volleyballlive@googlemail.com>

Checklist
Late review disposition: app-supported media-tool installs and custom-path validation already invalidate probe caches; live external binary replacement is outside the existing process-lifetime cache contract. Task SSE uses the same mandatory-revalidation/no-transform policy as transcription SSE; no-store is optional hardening.
