fix(tts): prevent overlapping playback and corrupted audio cache by chriswritescode-dev · Pull Request #416 · chriswritescode-dev/opencode-manager

chriswritescode-dev · 2026-10-10T02:16:16Z

Summary

External TTS could play two voices at once and serve garbled audio.

Playback is tagged per start; stale async continuations and audio events from a previous message no longer start a second chunk chain or orphan the current audio.
Browser speech is cancelled regardless of the saved provider, so a settings test with a different provider cannot talk over external audio.
Each chunk is fetched at most once per playback; when the next chunk is still downloading, the player waits for it instead of requesting it again.
The backend writes cached audio to a temp file and renames it into place, so a concurrent read never sees a partial or interleaved file.
Concurrent requests for the same text share one upstream synthesis call and return the same error to every waiter.

Validation

backend: vitest run test/routes/tts.test.ts (29 passed); tsc --noEmit
frontend: vitest run src/contexts src/components/message src/hooks src/components/schedules src/components/settings (1014 passed); pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint (0 errors)

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Clear cached audio from TTS settings and see how many files were removed, or retry if clearing fails.
Bug Fixes
- Improved speech playback reliability when switching or stopping playback, preventing outdated audio events from interrupting current playback.
- Starting external audio now stops active built-in speech playback.
- Audio is still returned when saving it to the cache fails.
- Synthesis requests that exceed 60 seconds now return a timeout error.
Performance
- Audio chunks can be prepared ahead of playback, helping speech continue more smoothly.
- Concurrent requests for the same audio share a synthesis, avoiding duplicate work.

…cally - Write cached audio to a temp file and rename it into place so a concurrent read never sees a partial or interleaved file. - Share one upstream synthesis call per text and cache key, so concurrent requests no longer produce different recordings that race on the same file. - Return the same upstream error to every waiter.

- Tag each playback and ignore stale async continuations and audio events, so a previous message's chunk chain cannot play over the current one. - Cancel browser speech regardless of the saved provider. - Fetch each chunk at most once per playback and await an in-flight fetch instead of starting a duplicate.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The backend now scopes synthesis cache entries by endpoint and API key, shares concurrent requests, and provides an endpoint to clear cached audio. The frontend adds a cache-clear control and guards TTS playback against stale results and callbacks.

Changes

TTS cache and playback coordination

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared synthesis and safe cache writes `backend/src/routes/tts.ts`, `backend/test/routes/tts.test.ts`	Cache keys now include normalized endpoint and API key alongside synthesis inputs. Concurrent requests with the same key share an upstream request. Cache writes use a temporary file and rename; cache-write failures do not fail synthesis. Upstream synthesis has a 60-second timeout.
Cache clearing API and settings control `backend/src/routes/tts.ts`, `backend/test/routes/tts.test.ts`, `frontend/src/api/tts.ts`, `frontend/src/components/settings/TTSSettings.tsx`, `frontend/src/components/settings/TTSSettings.test.tsx`	The backend adds `DELETE /cache`, which returns the number of removed MP3 files. The settings control calls the API and displays pending, success, and error states.
Playback generations and chunk prefetch `frontend/src/contexts/TTSContext.tsx`, `frontend/src/contexts/TTSContext.test.tsx`	The provider uses playback IDs to ignore stale synthesis results and callbacks. It caches in-flight chunk requests and stops Web Speech when external playback starts.

…tion - Hash text, voice, model, speed, normalized endpoint and API key into one SHA-256 key shared by the disk cache and in-flight synthesis, so different providers cannot reuse each other's audio and old keys are not read as fallback. - Add DELETE /api/tts/cache to remove completed cached audio files, keep temporary files, tolerate missing files and report real failures. - Add a Clear audio cache action to TTS settings, available even when TTS is disabled or the builtin provider is selected, with pending, success and retryable error states.
