teknium1 d3ffbc6409 feat(stt): add stt.providers.<name> command-provider registry
Mirror of the TTS command-provider registry (PR #17843) for STT. Lets any
shell-driven ASR engine — Doubao ASR, NVIDIA Parakeet, whisper.cpp builds,
SenseVoice, curl pipelines — become an STT backend with zero Python.
Complements the legacy HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND escape hatch (preserved
untouched via the built-in local_command path) and the
register_transcription_provider() Python plugin hook also shipped in this
PR.

Resolution order (mirrors TTS exactly):

  1. Built-in (local, local_command, groq, openai, mistral, xai)
     → native handler. Always wins.
  2. stt.providers.<name>: type: command  → command-provider runner.
  3. Plugin-registered TranscriptionProvider → plugin dispatch.
  4. No match → 'No STT provider available'.

Files
-----
- tools/transcription_tools.py: BUILTIN_STT_PROVIDERS frozenset retained;
  added _resolve_command_stt_provider_config, _transcribe_command_stt,
  and local helpers for template rendering, shell-quote context, and
  process-tree termination. Helpers are documented as mirrors of their
  tts_tool.py counterparts (kept local to avoid cross-tool private
  import). Wire-in is one insertion point in transcribe_audio() after
  the xai elif and before the plugin dispatcher. Plugin dispatcher
  additionally defensively short-circuits when a same-name command
  config exists (command-wins-over-plugin invariant).

- tests/tools/test_transcription_command_providers.py: 50 new tests
  covering resolution (builtin precedence, type/command gating,
  case-insensitive lookup, legacy stt.<name> back-compat), helpers
  (timeout fallback, format validation, iter, has-any), template
  rendering (shell-quote contexts, doubled-brace preservation),
  end-to-end via _transcribe_command_stt (output_path read, stdout
  fallback, timeout, nonzero exit envelope, model override,
  language precedence), and dispatcher integration via the real
  transcribe_audio() including command-wins-over-plugin and
  builtin-shadow-rejection.

- tests/plugins/transcription/check_parity_vs_main.py: extended from
  10 to 13 scenarios. New cases: command-provider-installed,
  command-vs-plugin-same-name (verifies command wins precedence),
  explicit-openai-with-command-shadow (verifies built-in wins).
  Adds command_provider dispatch_kind detection via transcript prefix
  (CMD: vs PLUGIN:) so command-provider scenarios can be distinguished
  from plugin scenarios even when sharing a provider name.

- website/docs/user-guide/features/tts.md: new 'STT custom command
  providers' section symmetric to the TTS section — example config,
  placeholder grammar table (input_path / output_path / output_dir /
  format / language / model), transcript-read-back semantics (file
  first, then stdout fallback), optional keys table, behavior notes,
  security note. Updated 'Python plugin providers (STT)' to include
  the new 'When to pick which (STT)' decision table and updated
  resolution-order section (now 4 layers instead of 3).

Verification
------------
189/189 STT targeted tests + 50/50 new command-provider tests pass.
Combined sweep: tests/tools/ 5576/5576, tests/agent/ + tests/hermes_cli/
8623/8623 — zero regressions across 14,199 tests.

Parity harness: 13 scenarios, 9 OK + 4 expected diffs
(no_provider_error → plugin, plugin_unavailable, command_provider × 2).

E2E live-verified in an isolated HERMES_HOME with a real .wav file:

  command:                    → dispatched to stt.providers.my-fake-cli
  plugin:                     → dispatched to registered TranscriptionProvider
  command-wins-over-plugin:   → command provider beats same-name plugin
  builtin-wins-over-command:  → built-in OpenAI handler fires;
                                stt.providers.openai: type: command
                                does NOT hijack it.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
