pyannote.audio was still `>=3.1` — the same unbounded-constraint pattern
that silently broke qwen3 (transformers>=4.45.0 resolving to a version
without qwen3_asr support on a later rebuild). Confirmed it had already
drifted once this session (4.0.4 -> 4.0.7). Pinned to the exact version
the current diarization code (token=, .speaker_diarization) is verified
against.
asr.js's config-fetch failure path fabricated a hardcoded backend/model
list that could silently drift from the server's real one (this is
exactly how the wrong Qwen3-ASR-2B/8B model IDs stuck around). Replaced it
with a visible error instead of a second source of truth.
Added scripts/smoke_test.sh: hits every backend's /transcribe or
/synthesize directly with a synthetic clip. Every regression found this
session (wrong model IDs, pyannote API drift, cuDNN path conflict) would
have shown up here immediately instead of waiting for a user to hit it.
