feat(tts): make Silero Native the default engine (aidar, 24000 Hz) - #182
Merged
Conversation
Config defaults switch from Piper/xenia/48000 to silero_native/aidar/24000. serde defaults only fill absent keys, so existing configs are untouched; a missing model bundle still falls back to Piper for the run with the config value preserved. Settings: saving while the engine selector is coerced to the fallback (saved engine unavailable) no longer persists that fallback — `engine` is omitted from the patch, so a bundle-less fresh install keeps the silero_native default until the bundle is downloaded. Engine option labels lose the Python/ttsd noise and list the native engine first as recommended. Docs (README, install/index, conventions, architecture) and the changelog updated to the new engine roles.

What
Native engine with speaker
aidarat 24000 Hz (was Piper /xenia/48000).
config.jsonfiles are untouched: serde defaults only fillabsent keys, and a missing model bundle still falls back to Piper for
the run with the config value preserved.
(saved engine unavailable) no longer persists that fallback —
engineis omitted from the patch (
buildSettingsPatch), so a bundle-lessfresh install keeps the silero_native default until the bundle is
downloaded.
«рекомендуемый», «Python ttsd» → «Python», Piper's «без Python» note
dropped.
CHANGELOG updated to the new engine roles.
Specs
OpenSpec change archived in
openspec/changes/archive/2026-08-03-silero-native-default-engine/—delta specs synced into
storage(config defaults),ipc-commands(UIConfig annotations + fresh-install scenario), and
ui(Settingscoerce-save scenario).
Verification
just test— Rust 974, silero-native 68 + bundle-gated suites,TS 131, Python 65: all green.
just lintandopenspec validate --specs --strictgreen.aidar / 24000; an existing user config is unaffected.
