Channel lazy load: discover_enabled() only imports enabled channel
modules instead of all 18 modules with heavy SDKs (telegram, discord,
slack, etc). discover_all() now delegates to discover_enabled().
Lazy OpenAI client: defer AsyncOpenAI() + httpx construction to
_ensure_client() with asyncio.Lock double-checked locking. openai
and httpx imports moved from module-level into _ensure_client().
Minor: lazy Nanobot/RunResult and CronService exports via __getattr__.
Benchmark: 6910ms → 460ms (-93.3%)
Previously _validate_allow_from raised SystemExit when allowFrom was
missing, forcing every channel to declare an explicit allowlist.
With the pairing feature this is no longer necessary: a channel with
no allowFrom simply operates in pairing-only mode, letting users
approve senders via /pairing approve <code> from the WebUI or CLI.
- Replace SystemExit with an info log in _validate_allow_from
- Add test_validate_allow_from_allows_missing_allow_from
- Add os.fsync with Windows-compatible directory flush in pairing store
- Increase pairing code length from 6 -> 8 characters for higher entropy
- Remove SystemExit on empty allowFrom; empty list now defers to pairing
- Update is_allowed docstring to document pairing fallback semantics
- Propagate is_dm to Matrix (direct rooms) and Slack (im channels)
- Slack _is_allowed now checks pairing store for DM allowlist mode
- Fix /pairing revoke to accept optional channel argument
- Move inline import time to module top-level
- Add WebSocket comment explaining is_dm=True assumption
- Add comprehensive tests for store and BaseChannel pairing integration
- Fix existing tests that expected empty allowFrom to hard-exit
Refs #3774
A single transient failure between the agent and an OpenAI/Groq Whisper
endpoint currently vanishes as `return ""` in transcribe(). The voice
message arrives as the empty string and there is no way to tell real
silence apart from a failed upload. A malformed but successful response
body is even worse: the JSON-decode error escapes the helper unhandled.
Add a shared `_post_transcription_with_retry` used by both providers.
Retry behaviour:
- exponential backoff 1s -> 2s -> 4s, up to 3 retries (4 attempts)
- retryable HTTP statuses: 408, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504
- retryable exceptions: TimeoutException, ConnectError, ReadError,
WriteError, RemoteProtocolError
Non-transient failures short-circuit to "" on the first attempt --
retrying a misconfigured key or a broken upload only burns rate-limit
quota. Branches that short-circuit:
- missing API key, missing audio file
- file-read errors (PermissionError, OSError) on the audio path,
preserving the nightly contract for direct provider callers
- HTTP auth/4xx body issues via raise_for_status()
- response.json() parse failures
- non-dict JSON payloads
Sharing one helper means OpenAI and Groq cannot drift apart silently.
Thread `language` through the helper. The multipart files dict is rebuilt
inside the per-attempt loop, so when a caller sets self.language the
`language` field is sent on every attempt -- not just the first.
Tests cover:
- every advertised retryable status and exception, parameterized
- language present on attempts 1 and 2 of a 503->200 sequence
- language absent when unset; present when set (both providers)
- malformed JSON body and non-dict JSON body short-circuit to ""
- PermissionError on file read short-circuits with no HTTP attempt
- max-attempts give-up, exponential-backoff schedule, auth no-retry,
missing-key / missing-file short-circuit
Test stub fix: the _StubResponse in tests/channels/test_channel_plugins.py
declared no status_code, which the new helper reads for retry classification.
Set status_code = 200 so the stub advertises the successful response that
those tests already simulate. Also moved the two transcription-provider
imports to the top of that file (previously placed mid-file) so the file
is ruff-clean (E402).
- Add ISO-639 pattern validation (2-3 lowercase letters) to schema
- Normalize empty language to None in provider constructors
- Extract shared httpx mock stubs, parameterize provider tests
- Add test for language=None omitting field from multipart body
- Add test for Pydantic pattern validation rejecting invalid codes
Complete the symmetry left by #3214: ChannelManager._resolve_transcription_base
already resolves providers.openai.api_base, but BaseChannel.transcribe_audio
instantiated OpenAITranscriptionProvider without forwarding it, and the provider
__init__ did not accept the parameter. Self-hosted OpenAI-compatible Whisper
endpoints (LiteLLM, vLLM, etc.) configured via config.json were therefore
ignored for the OpenAI backend.
- OpenAITranscriptionProvider.__init__ now accepts api_base with env fallback
(OPENAI_TRANSCRIPTION_BASE_URL) matching the Groq pattern.
- BaseChannel.transcribe_audio forwards self.transcription_api_base to OpenAI.
- Tests mirror the existing Groq coverage: manager propagation for provider
"openai", BaseChannel-to-provider argument passing, and provider default vs
override for api_url.
Fully backward-compatible: when api_base is None and the env var is unset,
the default https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions is used.
Refs #3213, follow-up to #3214.
Keep dict-backed channel configs compatible with both allow_from and allowFrom without losing empty-list semantics, and add focused regression coverage for the allow-list boundary.
