Summary

Makes VoiceStudio's OpenAI-compatible API (/v1) work unchanged with the official openai Python SDK and the OpenAI Agents SDK voice pipeline.

Audit finding Status Fix
gpt-4o-mini-tts (Agents SDK default) → 400 "Unknown model" Confirmed All OpenAI TTS ids (incl. dated snapshots, future gpt-*-tts) alias the active engine; registered engine ids are checked first. Voice aliases extended to the current OpenAI set (Agents SDK default ash); {"id": ...} voice objects are unwrapped.
instructions silently dropped Confirmed Mapped to instruct; explicit instruct wins. OmniVoice's instruct is a closed tag vocabulary that rejects prose, and the Agents SDK sends a prose default on every request, so OmniVoice-family engines get only valid design tags (prose is dropped rather than failing the request).
pcm not 24 kHz; aac returned WAV; mp3/opus silently fell back to WAV (opus was Vorbis) Confirmed pcm resampled to 24 kHz int16 LE mono. mp3/opus/aac encoded by ffmpeg (bundled via imageio-ffmpeg) with a matching Content-Type; no ffmpeg → OpenAI-shaped 400 before any GPU work. stream_format audio (chunked) and sse (speech.audio.delta / speech.audio.done) supported.
No GET /v1/models Confirmed GET /v1/models and /v1/models/{id}: OpenAI aliases plus installed TTS and STT engines.
Transcription params ignored, language hard-coded en, verbose_json not OpenAI schema Confirmed language/prompt/temperature go to backends whose transcribe() declares them (faster-whisper, isolated faster-whisper sidecar, WhisperX, MLX Whisper, PyTorch Whisper, remote OpenAI-compatible ASR). Detected language is reported (unknown when no engine or request provides one). OpenAI segment schema plus words for timestamp_granularities[]=word; word alignment runs only when requested. stream=true gets a clear 400 pointing at the WS route.
No /v1/audio/translations Confirmed missing Added (Whisper task="translate"); engines that can't translate get a clear 400.
Errors not OpenAI-shaped Confirmed Router-scoped APIRoute subclass renders {"error": {message,type,param,code}} on /v1 routes only; validation is 400. The original detail is kept in the body for existing VoiceStudio clients; other routers are untouched.

Electron: the OpenAI Agents integration page gets a copyable VoicePipeline snippet for the live backend. The key comes from OMNIVOICE_API_KEY at run time, and tracing is disabled so nothing is uploaded. The change is one new openai-agents-setup.ts plus one registration in the detail page, and the new locale key is added in all 21 locales.

No new dependencies: openai is already a main dependency (3.3.1 in uv.lock).

Tests

  • tests/test_openai_sdk_contract.py drives every route through the real openai SDK and includes the exact Agents SDK request shape. On the old router, 20 of its 30 original tests fail.
  • The request-options validation for the ASR sidecar and faster-whisper forwarding are unit tested.
  • tests/fixtures/api_routes.txt is regenerated for the three new routes.
  • Full tests/: 8458 passed. Two failures are unrelated to this PR. tests/probe/test_probe_engines.py fails because whisperx is not installed on this box. tests/test_speech_platform.py::test_versioned_stream_has_session_envelope is order-dependent and passes in isolation; it tests the capture WS route, which this PR doesn't touch.
  • backend/tests/: 469 passed. test_n8n_workflow.py and test_agentic_provider_contract.py pass.
  • Electron: vitest 715 passed; typecheck, locale:check and lint pass.

Notes for review

  • Agents SDK StreamedAudioInput needs OpenAI's Realtime transcription WebSocket, which is not implemented (documented). AudioInput works.
  • Docs: docs/agentic-voice.md (route table, format table, error shape, new OpenAI Agents SDK section), docs/integration-directory.md, docs/api-auth.md (SDK example now requests wav explicitly, because the default mp3 is now real mp3), docs/engines/openai-compatible-asr.md, and the CHANGELOG Unreleased section.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

VoiceStudio updates the /v1 audio API to match the OpenAI and OpenAI Agents SDK voice pipeline: it adds OpenAI-shaped model discovery (GET /v1/models), speech/transcription/translation routes with stream_format (audio/sse), correct codec handling (PCM 24 kHz plus ffmpeg-based MP3/Opus/AAC), forwarded Whisper parameters (language, prompt, temperature), optional word timestamps, and OpenAI-compatible errors. It also adds Electron UI/documentation and a copyable Agents SDK VoicePipeline snippet that targets the VoiceStudio /v1 endpoint and requires explicit agent LLM configuration. Human review should confirm that the runtime has ffmpeg available for compressed response_format encoding and that the selected ASR backend/checkpoint supports translation, because turbo/distil/English-only Whisper models are rejected with a 400 unsupported_task before inference.

- Alias every OpenAI TTS model id (gpt-4o-mini-tts, dated snapshots) and
  current voice name to the active engine; real engine ids still win.
- Map OpenAI `instructions` to the engine instruct (explicit instruct wins;
  OmniVoice keeps only its voice-design tags so prose can't fail a request).
- pcm is 24 kHz int16 LE mono; mp3/opus/aac are encoded by ffmpeg with a
  matching Content-Type, or a clear 400 before any GPU work; add
  stream_format audio/sse and the {"id": ...} voice object.
- Add GET /v1/models(/{id}) and POST /v1/audio/translations.
- Transcriptions forward language/prompt/temperature to backends whose
  transcribe() declares them (Whisper family, isolated sidecar, remote
  OpenAI-compatible ASR), report the detected language, and return OpenAI
  segments plus words for timestamp_granularities[]=word.
- /v1 errors use OpenAI's {"error": {...}} shape (detail kept), 400 for
  validation failures.
- Electron: OpenAI Agents integration page shows a copyable VoicePipeline
  snippet for the live backend.
- Contract test drives every route through the real openai SDK.

Review follow-ups (Greptile, #2290):
- /v1/models lists only the active ASR engine for STT; a transcription or
  translation naming another VoiceStudio ASR engine id gets a 400
  model_not_active instead of being silently served by the active one.
- The OpenAI Agents snippet configures the agent's LLM explicitly from
  AGENT_LLM_BASE_URL / AGENT_LLM_MODEL (a local OpenAI-compatible server)
  and fails fast when unset, so it never falls back to a hosted model.

- Around line 1543-1549: Update transcribe and its request-handling path to
detect translation capability from the loaded model associated with each
backend, rather than relying only on the declared task option. Raise
_TaskUnsupported before inference for translation requests on turbo Whisper
checkpoints, while preserving translation for supported models, and add a
regression test using a turbo model name.

Whisper large-v3-turbo (and Distil / .en checkpoints) ignore
task=translate and return the source language, which /v1/audio/translations
would have labelled English with a 200 (CodeRabbit, #2290). Backends now
report supports_translation() from their loaded checkpoint and the route
returns 400 unsupported_task before inference.
