fix(tts): prevent overlapping playback and corrupted audio cache by chriswritescode-dev · Pull Request #416 · chriswritescode-dev/opencode-manager

chriswritescode-dev · 2026-10-10T02:16:16Z

Summary

External TTS could play two voices at once and serve garbled audio.

Playback is tagged per start; stale async continuations and audio events from a previous message no longer start a second chunk chain or orphan the current audio.
Browser speech is cancelled regardless of the saved provider, so a settings test with a different provider cannot talk over external audio.
Each chunk is fetched at most once per playback; when the next chunk is still downloading, the player waits for it instead of requesting it again.
The backend writes cached audio to a temp file and renames it into place, so a concurrent read never sees a partial or interleaved file.
Concurrent requests for the same text share one upstream synthesis call and return the same error to every waiter.

Validation

backend: vitest run test/routes/tts.test.ts (29 passed); tsc --noEmit
frontend: vitest run src/contexts src/components/message src/hooks src/components/schedules src/components/settings (1014 passed); pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint (0 errors)

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Clear cached audio from TTS settings and see how many files were removed, or retry if clearing fails.
Bug Fixes
- Improved speech playback reliability when switching or stopping playback, preventing outdated audio events from interrupting current playback.
- Starting external audio now stops active built-in speech playback.
- Audio is still returned when saving it to the cache fails.
- Synthesis requests that exceed 60 seconds now return a timeout error.
- Audio cached for one endpoint or API key is no longer reused for another.
Performance
- Audio chunks can be prepared ahead of playback, helping speech continue more smoothly.
- Concurrent requests for the same audio share a synthesis, avoiding duplicate work.

…cally - Write cached audio to a temp file and rename it into place so a concurrent read never sees a partial or interleaved file. - Share one upstream synthesis call per text and cache key, so concurrent requests no longer produce different recordings that race on the same file. - Return the same upstream error to every waiter.

- Tag each playback and ignore stale async continuations and audio events, so a previous message's chunk chain cannot play over the current one. - Cancel browser speech regardless of the saved provider. - Fetch each chunk at most once per playback and await an in-flight fetch instead of starting a duplicate.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The backend now scopes synthesis cache entries by endpoint and API key, shares concurrent requests, and provides an endpoint to clear cached audio. The frontend adds a cache-clear control and guards TTS playback against stale results and callbacks.

Changes

TTS cache and playback coordination

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared synthesis and safe cache writes `backend/src/routes/tts.ts`, `backend/src/utils/fs-safe.ts`, `backend/test/routes/tts.test.ts`, `backend/test/utils/fs-safe.test.ts`	Cache keys include normalized endpoint and API key alongside synthesis inputs. Concurrent requests with the same key share an upstream request. Cache writes use `writeFileAtomic`; cache-write failures do not fail synthesis. Upstream synthesis has a 60-second timeout.
Cache clearing API and settings control `backend/src/routes/tts.ts`, `backend/test/routes/tts.test.ts`, `frontend/src/api/tts.ts`, `frontend/src/components/settings/TTSSettings.tsx`, `frontend/src/components/settings/TTSSettings.test.tsx`	The backend adds `DELETE /cache`, which returns the number of removed MP3 files. The settings control calls the API and displays pending, success, and error states.
Playback generations and chunk prefetch `frontend/src/contexts/TTSContext.tsx`, `frontend/src/contexts/TTSContext.test.tsx`	The provider uses playback IDs to ignore stale synthesis results and callbacks. It caches in-flight chunk requests and stops Web Speech when external playback starts.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bda12

Clearing the TTS cache while a synthesis is running can leave one audio file in the cache. This is minor and self-limiting, so the change is mergeable with owner awareness.

…tion - Hash text, voice, model, speed, normalized endpoint and API key into one SHA-256 key shared by the disk cache and in-flight synthesis, so different providers cannot reuse each other's audio and old keys are not read as fallback. - Add DELETE /api/tts/cache to remove completed cached audio files, keep temporary files, tolerate missing files and report real failures. - Add a Clear audio cache action to TTS settings, available even when TTS is disabled or the builtin provider is selected, with pending, success and retryable error states.

Coordinate cache clearing with in-flight writes.

If DELETE /cache runs while synthesis is pending, readdir can find no MP3 files and the route can report success. The earlier synthesis can then write its MP3 after the clear completes. Wait for earlier cache writes before deleting files, and coordinate writes that start during the clear.
