fix(stt): map cloud-only model names to valid local size for faster-whisper (#2544)#13016
Merged
Conversation
…hisper (#2544) Cherry-picked from PR #2545 by @Mibayy. The setup wizard could leave stt.model: "whisper-1" in config.yaml. When using the local faster-whisper provider, this crashed with "Invalid model size 'whisper-1'". Voice messages were silently ignored. _normalize_local_model() now detects cloud-only names (whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe, etc.) and maps them to the default local model with a warning. Valid local sizes (tiny, base, small, medium, large-v3) pass through unchanged. - Renamed _normalize_local_command_model -> _normalize_local_model (backward-compat wrapper preserved) - 6 new tests including integration test - Added lowercase AUTHOR_MAP alias for @Mibayy Closes #2544
