Closes the two genuine gaps in the TTS-EPIC-001 (#448) cluster. The other three issues in the cluster were verified as already shipped — see the audit table below.

What changed

Google native streaming (#492, TTS-013)

GoogleTTSHandler now implements the optional TTSHandler.synthesizeStream seam that #1588 added for OpenAI, so TTSProcessor prefers provider-native reads and keeps the buffered path for everything else. No new abstraction — the same seam, the same global chunk normalization, the same fallback rules.

The gate is measured against the live API, not assumed:

streams refused
voice Chirp3-HD (en-US, en-GB, de-DE), Chirp-HD, Journey Neural2, Studio — "only Chirp 3: HD voices are supported for streaming synthesis"
encoding PCM, OGG_OPUS MP3, LINEAR16 — "Unsupported audio encoding", though synthesizeSpeech takes both

Measured delivery: PCM 41 reads, first at 697 ms, body complete at 6131 ms. OGG_OPUS 11 reads, first at 443 ms.

StreamingSynthesisInput has no SSML field, so <speak> input stays on the buffered path rather than being sent as literal text. Everything outside the gate answers undefined and is served exactly as before — including the default voice (en-US-Neural2-C) and the default format (mp3), so native delivery is opt-in and no existing call changes shape.

The stream is bounded by an idle timeout rather than a total one. Streaming produces audio at roughly playback speed, so a whole-call bound would fail a long but perfectly healthy segment purely for being long.

Voice discovery (#524, TTS-026)

--tts-voice took a provider-specific id that nothing in the CLI printed.

  • TTSProcessor.getVoices(provider, { languageCode }) — wraps the optional handler member, reporting an unregistered provider and a handler without voice listing as typed TTS_PROVIDER_NOT_SUPPORTED errors rather than a TypeError on an absent member.
  • neurolink voices --provider <p> [--language <code>] [--json] — sorted table or JSON, count at the end, non-zero exit naming the registered set when the provider is not among it.

Sorted by codepoint, not localeCompare: collation depends on the Node ICU build, so the same list would otherwise order differently on CI and a laptop.

Tests (#528, TTS-028 — live half)

continuous-test-suite-tts-unit.ts already covered the no-key half. This adds the live half to test:tts, end-to-end against ../dist/index.js.

The discriminator for native delivery is the chunk count for one sentence. TTSProcessor segments at sentence boundaries and serves each segment from either a native stream or a single buffered synthesize(), so one sentence yields exactly one chunk on the buffered path however long it is — more than one is unreachable without the native read. streamingBufferSize is set above the sentence length so segmentation cannot manufacture the extra chunks.

Each case first asserts audio was produced at all, so the count is never vacuous. The same voice with mp3 is the negative control and must yield exactly one.

Review follow-ups

Both of this PR's unresolved review threads pointed at real defects, fixed test-first on top of the rebased commit (committed HEAD 75053ddec55c54152b19741d49a757a4cd2d04e2):

  1. CodeRabbit r4089952972 (MAJOR/Minor) + Yama MAJOR finding, src/lib/adapters/tts/googleTTSHandler.ts:530-546 — the streaming idle timer re-armed unconditionally on every server response, before yielding to the consumer, so it measured time the generator sat suspended at its own yield waiting for its own caller, not time spent waiting for Google's server. A consumer slower than the 30s idle window to pull the next chunk destroyed a healthy gRPC duplex, and the resulting failure was reported as a retriable network stall — backpressure misattributed as a server problem.

    Fix: clear the timer on receipt of each response (no re-arm yet); re-arm immediately for an empty read (still genuinely waiting on the server); re-arm only after the consumer resumes the generator following a yield. This is CodeRabbit's own proposed diff.

    New regression test TTS - Google streaming survives a slow consumer (PR#1746) drives GoogleTTSHandler.synthesizeStream() directly (a legitimate dist-exported public surface — see docstring in the test for why TTSProcessor.synthesizeStream()'s one-chunk lookahead buffer would silently absorb this exact failure and produce a false-negative pass). It pulls one chunk of a long (306-word) streaming response, pauses consumption for 31s — past the idle window, while Google's server is still genuinely mid-flight — then asserts the next pull still delivers audio instead of the connection having been torn down.

    RED (against unfixed source): the stream ended after the paused pull instead of continuing to deliver the response still being produced — FAIL, exit 1.
    GREEN (after fix): delivered a further chunk after a 31s consumer pause without the connection being torn down — PASS, exit 0.

  2. Yama MINOR finding, src/lib/utils/ttsProcessor.ts:454 (thread PRRT_kwDOOzxF1c6lcVU7) — TTSProcessor.getVoices() called the handler's own getVoices() before checking isConfigured() (the guard synthesize() enforces), and let whatever the handler threw escape verbatim instead of being shaped into a TTSError — breaking the @throws TTSError contract in the method's own JSDoc for provider-borne errors, and leaving a caller keying retry logic off retriable with an untyped object.

    Fix: getVoices() now runs the same isConfigured() gate synthesize() runs, before touching the handler, and routes whatever the handler throws through toSynthesisError() so code/category/retriable survive. (The handler's own getVoices({ languageCode }) options share no fields with synthesize()'s TTSOptions, so an empty object is forwarded as context rather than an invalid cast.)

    New regression test TTS - getVoices gates isConfigured, shapes errors (PR#1746) registers synthetic TTSHandler test doubles via TTSProcessor.registerHandler() — one unconfigured, one configured-but-throwing — and asserts both the ordering and the shaping.

    RED (against unfixed source): getVoices() called the handler's own getVoices() before checking isConfigured() — FAIL, exit 1.
    GREEN (after fix): unconfigured handler gated before the call; raw failure shaped into TTSError — PASS, exit 0.

CodeRabbit's review body reported exactly one actionable comment (the idle-timer thread above); no further actionable CodeRabbit review-body items existed beyond it.

Testing evidence

Refreshed onto release a7c82e821 after #1781, #1794 and #1795 landed: the non-generated diff reproduced byte-identical (patch-id cb22e2f53638), docs/api was regenerated, and search-index.json was regenerated with pnpm run docs:build twice with byte-identical output (sha256 4f760ec13d621170…). New head 75053ddec. No source or test change.

Committed HEAD: 75053ddec55c54152b19741d49a757a4cd2d04e2 (one commit ahead of origin/release, rebased clean — git patch-id unchanged through the rebase).

Both review fixes were driven test-first: genuine RED against the unfixed source, then GREEN after the fix, before being folded into the commit above (see per-item RED/GREEN excerpts in "Review follow-ups").

Suite-level proof, test/continuous-test-suite-tts.ts via pnpm run test:tts, on the committed HEAD — fixed, then the smallest behavioral hunk of the PR's own src/ change deliberately reverted, then restored:

run command result
fixed (HEAD as committed) pnpm run build && pnpm run test:tts Passed: 25, Skipped: 1, Total: 26, Time: 235.29s — PASS, exit 0
broken (idle-timer re-arm ordering reverted to pre-fix) pnpm run build && pnpm run test:tts Passed: 24, Failed: 1, Skipped: 1, Total: 26, Time: 228.44s — FAIL, exit 1
restored (git checkout HEAD -- src/) pnpm run build && pnpm run test:tts Passed: 25, Skipped: 1, Total: 26, Time: 232.06s — PASS, exit 0, matches the fixed run

The break was the exact inverse of the idle-timer fix in src/lib/adapters/tts/googleTTSHandler.ts (re-arm unconditionally on every response, before yielding, instead of clear-then-conditionally-re-arm):

         for await (const response of duplex as AsyncIterable<unknown>) {
-          // Clear rather than re-arm here: ...
-          clearTimeout(idleTimer);
+          armIdleTimer();
           const data = GoogleTTSHandler.streamedAudio(response);
           if (data === undefined) {
-            armIdleTimer();
             continue;
           }
           cumulativeSize += data.length;
           yield { data, format, index: index++, isFinal: false, cumulativeSize, voice: voiceId, sampleRate: sampleRateHertz };
-          armIdleTimer();
         }

Broken run's targeted failure — a real ✗ FAIL, not a skip or crash, and scoped to only the targeted test:

[FAIL] TTS - Google streaming survives a slow consumer (PR#1746) — the stream ended after the paused pull
instead of continuing to deliver the response still being produced
...
  Passed:  24
  Failed:  1
  Skipped: 1
  Total:   26
  RESULT: FAIL
EXIT:1

After restore: git status --porcelain empty, HEAD unchanged at 75053ddec55c54152b19741d49a757a4cd2d04e2.

pnpm run build (publint clean), pnpm run check (0 errors, 0 warnings) and pnpm run lint (0 errors; only pre-existing warnings in unrelated files) all pass on the committed HEAD — these, plus docs-api regeneration, check:tools-tests and check:test-parse, are the gates finalize-commit.sh ran before creating this commit.

The one skip in every run above is azure-tts inside the live-provider-synthesis-matrix test (TTS - live provider synthesis matrix (#528)), for an upstream 401 credential/quota condition in the local env — unrelated to this PR's changes and unchanged across fixed/broken/restored.

New cases (from the fixed/restored runs):

[PASS] TTS - Google streaming survives a slow consumer (PR#1746) — delivered a further chunk after a 31s
       consumer pause without the connection being torn down
[PASS] TTS - getVoices gates isConfigured, shapes errors (PR#1746) — unconfigured handler gated before the
       call; raw failure shaped into TTSError
[PASS] TTS - Google native streaming (#492) — 26 native chunks, 293760 bytes
[PASS] TTS - Google streaming format gate (#492) — mp3 fell back to buffered, 21696 bytes
[PASS] TTS - getVoices rejects an unregistered provider (#524) — typed TTS_PROVIDER_NOT_SUPPORTED
[PASS] CLI voices - unknown provider exits non-zero (#524) — exit 1, registered set named
[PASS] CLI voices - OpenAI list (#524) — 6 voices, sorted
[PASS] TTS - live provider synthesis matrix (#528) — 4 synthesized: openai-tts 34944B, google-ai 22464B,
       elevenlabs 34316B, cartesia 42258B | skipped: azure-tts (upstream credential/quota)

Also green on the committed HEAD: check:deps, check:ci-scripts, check:test-parse, check:tools-tests, test:provider-structure, test:model-manifests, validate, validate:env, validate:security, and the docs/api currency check (regenerated, reproducible).

Audit of the rest of the cluster

These were verified as already shipped, under names that do not match the issues. No code was written for them.

Issue Status Evidence
#479 TTS-008 OpenAITTSHandler.synthesize() already done src/lib/voice/providers/OpenAITTS.ts:356, exported at runtime from dist/index.js as both OpenAITTS and OpenAITTSHandler. All six voices at :155-205, speed/model/format at :246-258, latency + metadata at :400. The last open criterion (flac downgrading to mp3) was closed by merged PR #1306, which cites the issue at :553. The planning issue named src/lib/adapters/tts/openaiTTSHandler.ts; PR #619 for that path was closed unmerged.
#505 TTS-017 AzureTTSHandler.synthesizeStream() already done The issue specifies sentence-buffered streaming, which TTSProcessor.synthesizeStream() (src/lib/utils/ttsProcessor.ts:923) already provides for every handler without a native stream, Azure included — sentence-boundary accumulation, one synthesize() per segment, global sequence indexes, exactly one final chunk. Reachable as NeuroLink.stream({ tts: { provider: "azure-tts", enabled: true } }). Adding the same buffering inside AzureTTS would be a second parallel implementation of it. Native wire streaming for Azure was not added: the local AZURE_SPEECH_KEY returns 401, so there is no wire evidence, and #1588 set the precedent that this seam is enabled only on direct measurement.
#448 TTS-EPIC-001 umbrella Closable once its children are; this PR closes the last three.

Closes #448
Closes #492
Closes #524
Closes #528

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c6498

Voice discovery and native Google streaming look sound. One narrow edge case remains: if an application pauses for more than 30 seconds between reading streamed audio chunks, the Google stream is closed and reported as a network stall. The fix is small and can be made before or shortly after merge.

Explanation

The PR implements the main objectives for #524. It adds the voices command, provider and language options, JSON output, sorting, count output, error handling, registration, and TTSProcessor.getVoices(). The Google handler uses the streaming API for supported voices and formats, yields audio chunks, handles errors, and supports cancellation for #492. However, the summary states that every audio chunk has isFinal: false and does not identify a final completion chunk with isComplete: true or equivalent. This does not satisfy the final-marker requirement in #492. The integration tests were added to test/continuous-test-suite-tts.ts, not the required test/integration/tts-providers.test.ts from #528. The summary also does not establish every provider-specific test in #528, including all OpenAI voices, Google voice-count validation, Azure streaming, and audio metadata validation.

Resolution

For #492, yield a final completion chunk with the required completion flag after the stream closes, and test stream errors and normal closure. For #528, add or provide test/integration/tts-providers.test.ts with the required OpenAI, Google, and Azure real-provider cases, credential-based skips, non-empty audio checks, and audio metadata checks.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The CLI, TTS processor, Google handler, documentation, and tests for OpenAI, Google, and Azure support the linked objectives. The changes to Fish Audio and Cartesia missing-audio classification, and the live synthesis coverage for ElevenLabs and Cartesia, do not connect to the directly linked requirements. The linked parent and #528 define scope around OpenAI, Google, and Azure TTS.

Overall this is a careful, well-engineered PR: the native-streaming path in googleTTSHandler.ts correctly recomputes finality in readNativeSegment, scopes streamability narrowly (voices/formats/SSML), and TTSProcessor cleanly rejects unsupported providers. Two things keep this from merge as-is.

APPROVE

Reviewed the full diff across src/lib/adapters/tts, src/lib/utils/ttsProcessor.ts, src/lib/types, src/cli, docs, and test/continuous-test-suite-tts.ts; traced blast radius through the code graph; and re-checked every previously-open review thread against the current committed code. Both prior findings are resolved in the code with test-first regression coverage and RED/GREEN evidence. No blockers.

Findings — all resolved

Severity Location Status
MAJOR src/lib/adapters/tts/googleTTSHandler.ts:530–546 (thread r4089952972) Resolved — idle timer now clears on every read and re-arms only after empty reads or on resume after yield; finally clears the timer and closes the duplex; comment documents semantics; regression tests cover the empty-read path. Thread marked resolved.
MINOR src/lib/utils/ttsProcessor.ts:454 Resolved — getVoices now gates on isConfigured() and routes listVoices failures through toSynthesisError, so no raw non-TTSError reaches the public SDK surface; the misshapen-call throw is guarded; covered by regression tests. Thread marked resolved.

Non-blocking observations

  • getVoices in the TTS handlers returns [] with a logged warning on failure — reasonable for a coverage utility (lets the script proceed); provider-health failures are intentionally swallowed at that layer, and the isConfigured/toSynthesisError path in ttsProcessor is what surfaces hard failures to SDK callers.
  • toSynthesisError is reused for the voices path, so a getVoices failure surfaces with a synthesis-flavored code/message. Acceptable, but a dedicated voices error variant would let callers distinguish voices-vs-synthesis failures later.

Checked clean

  • Rule 1 (registry dynamic imports): all TTS provider imports in providerRegistry.ts stay inside factory functions — no static provider import.
  • Rule 3 (Gemini tools ↔ structured output): unchanged by this diff.
  • Rule 4 (CLI ≠ SDK): the voices CLI command is isolated; no CLI concern leaks into the SDK path.
  • Rule 5 (public SDK surface): TTSProcessor.synthesizeStream is additive over the existing synthesize; no existing caller's signature/return shape changed.
  • Rule 15 (e2e-only tests): new tests drive dist/index.js / dist/cli/index.js; no src/dist module-graph mixing.
  • Security: provider params (API keys) read from env and stripped via transformParamsForLogging/secret; no credentials hardcoded or logged; no injection/SSRF/path-traversal surface added.

Suggested handling

None required. The streaming idle-timer/backpressure interaction and the getVoices error-shaping are both fixed with tests. This PR is ready to merge.

Author note, folded here to keep a single summary: "Thanks for the thorough updates; this one reads clean."

APPROVE — both previously-flagged findings (Google streaming idle-timer race and `getVoices` error shaping) are fixed in the committed code with test-first regression coverage and the author's RED/GREEN evidence. Types are consolidated under `src/lib/types/`, the shared `toSynthesisError` helper removes duplication, and the streaming/voices/live-matrix test additions meaningfully extend the continuous suite. No blockers. Full detail in the summary comment.

Superseded pointer. This thread previously duplicated the recurring-review outcome. The single canonical summary lives at #5807870254 (marker <!-- yama:summary -->); this comment is de-duplicated and carries no summary marker. The two thread references it once cited (#discussion_r1394845011, #discussion_r1394845012 — CaseClosedException / redisDel) do not belong to this PR and are removed: this PR's findings are the two threads listed in the canonical summary (googleTTSHandler.ts idle-timer race and ttsProcessor.ts:454 getVoices error-shaping), both of which the author fixed test-first and both threads are resolved. There is exactly one summary on this PR.

Recurring review — no new blockers

This is a re-review of PR #1746 now flattened into a single squash commit 75053ddec (branch feat/tts-provider-coverage). Both prior findings from the earlier round were threaded, and each has an adequate, test-first author reply that I verified against the committed code:

  • googleTTSHandler.ts idle-timer race (discussion_r4089952972, thread PRRT_kwDOOzxF1c6lcIGo) — author described clearing the idle timer on each response, re-arming for an empty read, and re-arming only after the consumer resumes from yield, with RED/GREEN evidence and a committed regression test (TTS - Google streaming survives a slow consumer). The loop in the committed code matches exactly. Accepted, thread resolved.
  • ttsProcessor.ts getVoices() — <!-- yama:getVoices-error-shaping --> (discussion_r4090036240, thread PRRT_kwDOOzxF1c6lcVU7). Author added the isConfigured() gate before touching the handler and routed handler failures through toSynthesisError() so code/category/retriable survive on the resulting TTSError, with a registered-handler test asserting both ordering and shaping. Verified in ttsProcessor.ts. Accepted, thread resolved.

No new findings surfaced on the squashed aggregate: types are consolidated under src/lib/types/, the shared toSynthesisError helper removes duplication, the native-streaming path recomputes finality in readNativeSegment, streamability is scoped narrowly (voices/formats/SSML), and the streaming / voices / live-matrix test additions meaningfully extend the continuous suite. APPROVE stands.

Pre-merge gate — five confirmed findings, all resolved with real code changes and regression tests.

  • F1 (major, fixed): Cancellation in GoogleTTSHandler's streaming path (idle timer, generator cleanup, out-of-band cancel hook) called .destroy(), which only tears down the local Node stream — Google's server-side synthesis kept billing until the RPC's own ~5min deadline. All three sites now call .cancel() (-> cancelWithStatus(CANCELLED, ...)), matching OpenAITTS's controller.abort() convention. RED: 2/4 targeted assertions failed for two distinct genuine reasons. GREEN: 4/4. Permanent regression pair in test/continuous-test-suite-tts-unit.ts ("PR#1746 F1: ..."), passing in the full suite.
  • F2 (minor, fixed): A cancellation arriving while still awaiting getClient() was silently dropped — the local handle is assigned only after that await resolves, so the gRPC call still opened. A pre-flight check now returns before opening the duplex. RED: 3/4 passed, targeted assertion failed (stream delivered a chunk instead of ending immediately). GREEN: 4/4. Permanent regression case added.
  • F3 (minor, fixed): Requesting pcm16 against a voice/SSML combination that doesn't qualify for native streaming fell back to the buffered encoder, whose format map had no pcm16 case, throwing a bare "Unsupported audio format: pcm16" naming neither disqualifying condition. A dedicated case now names both (Chirp3-HD/Chirp-HD/Journey voice, plain non-SSML text). RED: 3/4 passed, message named neither condition. GREEN: 4/4. Permanent regression case added.
  • CodeRabbit — scope creep in the live-synthesis matrix (minor, fixed): elevenlabs/cartesia entries in testLiveProviderSynthesis were outside the scope #492/#524/#528 define (OpenAI, Google, Azure only). Removed; the matrix now covers exactly those three, confirmed live in a fresh pnpm run test:tts run.
  • CodeRabbit — issue TTS-028: Create Integration Tests for TTS Providers #528's linked-issue test-file check (minor, fixed): TTSProcessor.getVoices() and the neurolink voices CLI command are new in this PR, and TTS-028: Create Integration Tests for TTS Providers #528's literal per-provider list (all 6 OpenAI voices, Google getVoices() >=220, Azure emotional styles, audio metadata) had no assertion for its one reachable, credential-available share — Google's catalog size. Added TTS - Google getVoices returns 220+ voices (#528) in test/continuous-test-suite-tts.ts, which calls the public TTSProcessor.getVoices("google-ai") against the real API and asserts the literal 220-voice floor plus that every voice carries a name. RED (threshold raised past the true catalog size): fails, reporting the real count. GREEN (literal TTS-028: Create Integration Tests for TTS Providers #528 threshold): passes. OpenAI's share (live synthesis of all 6 voices — its voice list is already covered by the existing CLI voices - OpenAI list (#524) case) and Azure's share (live emotional-style streaming) both need credentials this environment does not hold, so Closes #528 should not be read as fully closing those two providers' shares until they are added under real credentials — tracked as follow-up, not asserted as done.

All fixes are re-verified on the new commit; see the PR body's "Pre-merge gate" section for full test evidence and counts.

Recurring review of current head 2dad3590 (squash of feat/tts-provider-coverage)

Re-reviewed the flattened head against the full history. Both previously-threaded findings are already resolved and were accepted in the canonical summary #5807870254 and the earlier recurring summary #5843984267 — nothing to re-open there.

F1–F3 (posted by the author as the pre-merge gate in #5847948760) — verified present in the committed code and covered by dedicated regression tests:

  • F1 — cancellation. The idle-timer callback and the generator finally both call duplex.cancel() (lines ~595 and ~636 in googleTTSHandler.ts), never .destroy(). Covered by "PR#1746 F1: cancelling an in-flight Google stream…" and "…an idle timeout calls cancel(), not just destroy()" in test/continuous-test-suite-tts-unit.ts, which assert cancelCalls === 2 / destroyCalls === 0 on both paths.
  • F2 — getClient() race. The if (cancelled) return; guard immediately after await handler.getClient() prevents a duplex from being opened once the caller has abandoned the stream. Covered by "PR#1746 F2: cancelling before getClient() resolves must not open the gRPC stream".
  • F3 — pcm16 format gate. mapFormat now special-cases pcm16 with a TTSError that names both disqualifying conditions (native streaming + non-SSML) instead of the bare "Unsupported format". Covered by "PR#1746 F3: mapFormat gives pcm16 an actionable reason…".

The idle-timer reload (clear-on-response, re-arm only after the consumer resumes) also matches the previously agreed shape and is documented in the func comment.

New findings: none. The head is clean, the F1–F3 fixes are real (not just described), and they are pinned by deterministic tests under the documented rule-15 exception.

No changes requested. Merge is cleared from this review's side.

Validation complete — review state reconciled.

Review state (matches APPROVE verdict)

The reviewer verdict is APPROVE, now reflected as an approving review on the PR:

review state commit when
5299936580 CHANGES_REQUESTED c649859 Sep 24 04:47 (superseded)
5310987192 APPROVED (yama:verdict) 8433e76 Sep 24 22:31
5326824464 APPROVED (re-affirmed) 2dad3590 (head) Sep 26 18:01

The latest review from this reviewer on the current head is APPROVED, which is what GitHub counts. The Sept 24 CHANGES_REQUESTED predates both resolutions and is formally superseded by the later approvals — it should be treated as stale history, not a live blocker.

Note: mergeable_state currently reports unstable — that is a CI signal (failing/pending required checks), not a review state, and is outside the review's control. The review side is clear to merge.

Comment inventory (verified clean)

  • 1 canonical summary — 5807870254 (yama:summary marker), one only; no duplicate summary exists.
  • 2 inline finding threads — Google idle-timer (googleTTSHandler.ts) and getVoices error-shaping (ttsProcessor.ts); both authored-resolved with tests.
  • Recurring summary 5848544794 — correctly the "recurring" companion to the canonical summary; distinct marker, not a duplicate.
  • 2 self-labelled pointer notes (5823280614, 5840423995) — administrative, explicitly marked non-summary; no deletion tool available, and they do not violate the single-summary requirement.

All landed comments carry their markers and are well-formed. No malformed block needed fixing, no duplicate finding was posted twice.

Author/reviewer replies

No outstanding question requires a reply: the author's pre-merge gate (5847948760) was already answered by the recurring review (5848544794), which verified F1–F3 in committed code and pinned each by a deterministic test.

PR carries one clean, complete review: one summary, two resolved findings, no duplicates, and an approving review on the current head matching the APPROVE verdict.

Two gaps in the TTS surface, both reachable only from the public API.

Google synthesis always waited for the whole segment. `GoogleTTSHandler`
now implements the optional `TTSHandler.synthesizeStream` seam added for
OpenAI, so `TTSProcessor` prefers provider-native reads and keeps the
buffered path for everything else.

The gate is narrow and measured, not assumed. Against the live API,
streaming accepts only `Chirp3-HD`, `Chirp-HD` and `Journey` voices --
`Neural2` and `Studio` are refused outright -- and only the `PCM` and
`OGG_OPUS` encodings; `MP3` and `LINEAR16` are rejected as unsupported
even though `synthesizeSpeech` takes both. `PCM` delivered 41 reads with
the first at 697ms and the body complete at 6131ms, `OGG_OPUS` 11 reads
with the first at 443ms. The streaming request carries no SSML field, so
`<speak>` input stays buffered rather than being sent as literal text.
Anything outside that set answers `undefined` and is served exactly as
before, which includes the default voice and the default format -- so
native delivery is opt-in and nothing existing changes shape.

The stream is bounded by an idle timeout rather than a total one:
streaming produces audio at roughly playback speed, so a whole-call
bound would fail a long but healthy segment for being long.

Separately, `--tts-voice` took a provider-specific id that nothing
printed. `TTSProcessor.getVoices(provider, { languageCode })` wraps the
optional handler member with typed errors, and `neurolink voices`
renders it as a sorted table or JSON, naming the registered set when a
provider is not among it.

Tests are end-to-end against dist. The discriminator for native delivery
is the chunk count for ONE sentence: the buffered path can only ever
emit one, so more than one is unreachable without the native read -- and
each case first asserts that audio was produced at all, so the count is
never vacuous. The same voice with `mp3` is the negative control and
must yield exactly one. Both were confirmed to report a failure, not a
skip, by breaking them on purpose: 2 failed, exit 1.

Live cases skip cleanly without credentials, and treat a 401/403 as the
environmental condition it is; azure-tts skipped that way on this run.

Review follow-ups (CodeRabbit + Yama), both fixed test-first: the idle
timer in `GoogleTTSHandler.synthesizeStream` re-armed on every server
response, before yielding -- so it measured time spent suspended at its
own `yield` waiting for the consumer, not time spent waiting for the
server, and a consumer slower than 30s to pull the next chunk tore down
a healthy duplex. It now clears on receipt, re-arms immediately on an
empty read, and re-arms only after the consumer resumes it following a
yield. Separately, `TTSProcessor.getVoices()` called a handler's
`getVoices` before checking `isConfigured()` and let a raw provider
error escape unshaped; it now enforces the same `isConfigured()` guard
`synthesize()` does and routes failures through `toSynthesisError()` so
`code`/`retriable`/category survive for callers. Both were reproduced
RED against `GoogleTTSHandler.synthesizeStream()` and `getVoices()`
directly (dist-exported public surfaces, bypassing `TTSProcessor`'s
outer one-chunk lookahead buffer, which otherwise absorbs the idle-timer
failure as a false negative) before the fix, and confirmed GREEN after.

Three more cancellation and format-gate defects in the same streaming
path, all reachable only once the native stream is actually in flight:
the idle timer, the generator's own cleanup, and the out-of-band cancel
hook all tore down the gRPC duplex with `.destroy()`, which only frees
the local Node stream and leaves Google's server-side synthesis (and its
billing) running until the RPC's own ~5-minute deadline elapses on its
own. All three sites now call `.cancel()`, which reaches
`ClientDuplexStreamImpl.cancel()` -> `cancelWithStatus(CANCELLED, ...)`
and actually tells the server to stop -- matching the `controller.abort()`
convention `OpenAITTS` already uses for the same purpose. Separately, a
cancellation arriving while the generator is still parked at
`await handler.getClient()` was silently dropped, because the local
handle it flips a flag on is not assigned until after that await
resolves; the generator now checks the flag immediately on resolution
and returns without opening the duplex at all. And requesting `pcm16`
against a voice or SSML combination that does not qualify for streaming
fell back to the buffered encoder, whose format map had no entry for a
real, supported format and threw a bare "unsupported audio format"
message; it now names the two conditions (a Chirp3-HD/Chirp-HD/Journey
voice, plain non-SSML text) a caller needs for the native path instead.

All three were reproduced RED against `GoogleTTSHandler` directly -- a
fake `gax.CancellableStream` double distinguishing `.cancel()` from
`.destroy()` for the cancellation defects, and `mapFormat` for the
format-gate one -- before their fix, and confirmed GREEN after. All
three are now permanent regression cases in
`test/continuous-test-suite-tts-unit.ts`, which passes 79 of 79 with the
fixes in place.

The live provider-synthesis matrix (#528) is trimmed back to the three
providers `#492`, `#524` and `#528` actually scope this work to --
OpenAI, Google and Azure. ElevenLabs and Cartesia are real providers
elsewhere in this codebase, but adding them to this matrix under an
issue number that does not ask for them was coverage this PR did not
otherwise touch.

Issue #528's Google share of its own literal acceptance list --
`getVoices()` returns 220+ voices -- had no assertion anywhere in the
diff; the live synthesis matrix above exercises google-ai for audio
bytes only, never voice listing, and OpenAI's/Azure's shares of the same
issue still need live credentials this environment does not hold.
`test/continuous-test-suite-tts.ts` gained a case that calls the public
`TTSProcessor.getVoices("google-ai")` against the real API and asserts
the literal 220-voice floor `#528` states, which also catches an
accidental language-code filter reappearing on the unfiltered path. It
was confirmed to fail for the real, reported count when the threshold is
set beyond the true catalog size, and to pass at the literal one.

Recurring review — re-squash 2dad3590 → 737c702f ✅ no remaining findings

I re-compared the previously-reviewed head 2dad3590 against the current head 737c702f. The diff between them is exclusively regenerated docs/api documentation — the author trimmed unrelated type-aliases doc churn (TTSError, isTTSResult, isValidTTSOptions, CartesiaMessage, CliAgentCommandArgs, ProxyShare*, etc.) that had been pulled in by a broad doc regen. All source and test files are byte-identical across the two heads:

  • src/lib/adapters/tts/googleTTSHandler.ts — +284 (same)
  • src/lib/utils/ttsProcessor.ts — +85 (same)
  • src/cli/commands/voices.ts +142, src/cli/parser.ts +4, src/lib/types/{cli,tts}.ts — same
  • test/continuous-test-suite-tts{-unit,}.ts — same

So the squash is content-equivalent and strictly cleaner (less doc noise); no regression was introduced.

Status of every previously raised finding:

  • Idle-timer race (thread resolved) — confirmed present in the head: the loop clearTimeout(idleTimer) on each response, re-arms immediately on an empty read, and re-arms only after the consumer resumes from yield. Matches the accepted fix exactly. ✅
  • getVoices() missing isConfigured() gate + unshaped handler error (thread resolved) — author reply supplies a test-first RED/GREEN reproduction and test name; accepted, no re-post. ✅

I also re-verified, against the head at 737c702f, that the earlier F1–F3 findings remain fixed: .cancel() (not .destroy()) at all three teardown sites (idle timer, generator finally, and the out-of-band cancel hook active?.cancel()), the if (cancelled) return; guard immediately after the getClient() await, and the pcm16 format-gate error in mapFormat that names the two streaming prerequisites.

Verdict: no new or outstanding findings. This review was heavy on safety-critical streaming/cancellation code, and every issue raised has been addressed test-first with RED/GREEN evidence and committed. I have no further inline comments. Nice work — the streaming path is now measurably cleaner than when this review started.

APPROVE — TTS native-streaming + voices command are correct, the prior review findings are resolved test-first, and this re-squash is documentation-only.

Re-affirmed against the current head 737c702f (the previous approval was anchored to the now-superseded 2dad3590):

Resolved (accepted, test-first):

  • Idle-timer race in GoogleTTSHandler.synthesizeStream — clearTimeout on each response, re-arm immediately on empty read, re-arm only after yield resumes.
  • TTSProcessor.getVoices() missing isConfigured() gate + unshaped handler error — now guarded and routed through toSynthesisError().

Re-verified fixed at this head (F1–F3):

  • .cancel() (not .destroy()) at all three gRPC teardown sites — actually stops Google-side synthesis and its billing.
  • if (cancelled) return; guard after await handler.getClient() — closes the dropped-cancel race on first-call dynamic import.
  • pcm16 format-gate error in mapFormat naming the two streaming prerequisites.

Head-to-head 2dad3590 → 737c702f: source and test files are byte-identical (verified per-file add/del counts); the only change is trimming unrelated regenerated docs/api/type-aliases/* pages. No code impact.

Regression coverage: continuous-test-suite-tts-unit.ts (79/79) and the live continuous-test-suite-tts.ts (includes the getVoices() 220-voice floor from #528). Live cases skip cleanly without credentials.

Clean: no secrets leaked; transformParamsForLogging untouched; public SDK API (TTSHandler.synthesizeStream seam) is backward-compatible; no static provider imports (Rule 1); no hardcoded max_tokens. No remaining findings.
