* tests: read checked-in files as UTF-8 instead of the platform default
Path.read_text() with no encoding uses locale.getpreferredencoding(), which
is UTF-8 on the Linux runners and cp1252 on a stock Windows install. Nine
module-level reads of checked-in source files were relying on that default.
studio/backend/routes/inference.py carries the DeepSeek tool-call token
regexes, so it holds U+FF5C and U+2581. Under cp1252 that read raised
UnicodeDecodeError on byte 0x81 at position 97806, and because the reads run
at import time it took test_cancel_atomicity.py and test_cancel_id_wiring.py
out at collection, not as failures. Green on CI, permanently broken for a
Windows contributor running the suite locally.
Adds a guard: at module scope there is no tmp_path fixture, so a bare
read_text()/write_text()/open() there is always touching a checked-in file.
That makes the rule mechanical enough to enforce with no allowlist, while
staying quiet about temp-dir I/O inside test bodies where the platform
default is harmless.
The repo already spells this correctly in 464 other places; this only stops
the stragglers coming back.
* tests: cover import-time helper reads and keep the guard py3.9-safe
Follows up on the Codex review:
- add `from __future__ import annotations`, since `str | None` in
`_offender` is evaluated at import on Python 3.9 and pyproject declares
requires-python ">=3.9,<3.15".
- widen the guard from module scope to import time. Class bodies and the
bodies of module-level helpers called from an executing statement run
during collection too, so `CODE = _extract_mixed_precision_code()` was
the same hazard as an inline read. `if __name__ == "__main__":` blocks
are skipped: pytest never executes them.
- scan studio/backend/tests/ as well as tests/. Both trees are collected
on Windows by separate CI jobs, and the offender that started this,
test_tool_xml_strip.py reading routes/inference.py, lives there.
Widening it surfaced seven more import-time reads of checked-in sources;
all now name utf-8.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Harden the import-time encoding guard for PR #7438
Close the detector gaps raised in review, all of which I reproduced against
the actual AST before changing anything.
False negatives (the guard let a real hazard through):
- _is_main_guard ignored the comparison operator, so if __name__ != "__main__"
counted as script-only even though its body runs at import.
- The else arm of a main guard was discarded with the rest of the If node.
- Decorators and argument defaults on a module-level def were skipped with the
body, though both are evaluated when the def executes.
- Path.open() in text mode was invisible; only builtin open() was matched.
- encoding = None and encoding = "locale" both re-select the platform default,
but the keyword merely being present counted as pinned.
False positives (the guard would have blocked a compliant contributor):
- A non-literal mode fell through to the "r" default, so open(p, mode) was
flagged even when mode is "rb", where adding encoding= is a ValueError and
there is no edit that satisfies the rule.
- Same for open(*args) and a **kwargs splat, which hide the mode and can hide
an encoding.
- Lambda bodies and comprehension elements were walked even though neither runs
at definition.
Verified: still reports the same 22 offenders on unpatched main, green on this
branch and on the tree merged with latest main (557 files), and an adversarial
corpus of 33 cases now scores zero false positives and zero false negatives.
Also corrected two docstring claims: neither collecting job runs on Windows,
and the read is governed by locale.getencoding().
* Walk eager comprehensions and treat io.open as the builtin
Two regressions from the previous commit, both reproduced against the AST
before changing anything.
Lumping list, set and dict comprehensions in with generator expressions was
wrong. Only a genexp is lazy; the other three run their element expression,
their filters and their nested iterators immediately, so
CONTENTS = [p.read_text() for p in PATHS] at module scope is an import-time
read the guard was silently missing. Comprehensions are now walked in full and
only the genexp keeps the outermost-iterable-only treatment.
io was also in the not-a-path-opener list, but io.open is the builtin, with the
same mode position and the same platform default. io.open(CHECKED_IN_FILE) is
exactly the hazard this guard exists for, so it is matched now, with binary
modes and a pinned encoding still exempt. tarfile.open and fitz.open stay
exempt since neither has an encoding to name.
Verified: 13 targeted cases covering all five eager comprehension forms and
io.open in text, binary and pinned shapes all classify correctly; still 22
offenders on unpatched main; green on this branch and on the tree merged with
latest main.
* Close three more walker gaps in the import-time guard
All three reproduced against the AST first.
A generator expression handed straight to a call is consumed there, so
DATA = "".join(p.read_text() for p in paths) runs its element at import. Only
an unconsumed genexp bound to a name stays lazy, so the walker now follows the
consumed ones in full and keeps the outermost-iterable-only treatment for the
rest.
if "__main__" == __name__ is an equivalent and accepted spelling of the main
guard, but requiring __name__ on the left meant its body was treated as
import-time code. That is a false positive on a block pytest never runs, so
both operand orders are recognised now.
The helper table was built from module-level defs only, so a def in a class
body invoked while the class is constructed was never followed, contradicting
the walker's stated coverage of class bodies. Helpers are now collected from
the module body and from class bodies at any nesting.
Verified: 15 targeted cases including all three fixes and the earlier ones
still classify correctly; still 22 offenders on unpatched main; green on this
branch and on the tree merged with latest main.

* Studio: add Voice settings tab (dictation, dictionary, read aloud)
New Voice tab in Settings, placed just before About:
- Dictation: microphone picker, browser STT engine, recognition language,
and an inline mic test with a live transcript
- Dictation dictionary: entries rewrite matching speech to their exact
spelling and casing, applied in both dictation paths
- Recent dictations: last 20 final transcripts with copy and clear, so
text can be recovered if it lands in the wrong place
- Read aloud: optional button on assistant responses with two engines,
curated system voices (novelty and legacy voices filtered, quality
ranked, capped at 20) or the TTS audio model loaded in Unsloth via
/audio/generate (e.g. Orpheus), plus speed, pitch, volume and preview
Settings persist in localStorage (unsloth_voice_settings) and are read
at call time so changes apply without reloading the runtime. Adds en
keys plus the tab label for ja, zh-CN and pt-BR.
* Studio: drop the single option STT engine select, rename TTS option
The STT engine dropdown only had one entry, so it added noise without
giving a real choice. The engine row can come back once local STT
models land. Also renames the TTS engine option Unsloth TTS model to
Load TTS model to make the action clearer.
* Studio: harden Voice settings against edge cases found in simulation
Simulated the feature across Chromium, Firefox and WebKit plus node
level unit runs and backend contract checks. Fixes from the findings:
- Dictionary rewrite used a replacement string, so entries containing
dollar patterns corrupted transcripts (A$$AP became A$AP, $& injected
the match). Switched to the callback form of String.replace
- Persisted voice settings now validate types on hydration: non string
micDeviceId, dictationLanguage and ttsVoiceURI, and non boolean
ttsEnabled fall back to defaults instead of flowing into the UI
- Dictionary entries are trimmed, capped at 120 chars and re-sanitized
on hydration
- The Test dictation panel now falls back to the default microphone
when the saved device is unplugged, matching the composer adapter
Test coverage: 46 unit assertions (dictionary regex edge cases across
unicode, word boundaries and injection, voice curation for simulated
macOS, Windows and Linux voice inventories, corrupt storage merge),
13 backend contract checks against /audio/generate on an isolated
instance, and 60 browser assertions across the three engines covering
rendering, degradation without SpeechRecognition, curation in a real
DOM, dictionary persistence with unicode and dollar entries, the
no-model preview error path and corrupt localStorage recovery.
* Studio: address Voice settings review feedback
Verified each review comment before acting. Confirmed and fixed:
- Editing a dictionary entry was broken in two ways: the store trimmed
on every keystroke so spaces could not be typed, and clearing the
field deleted the entry and unmounted the input mid edit. Updates now
keep the raw value and a blur commit trims or removes the entry
- The unplugged mic fallback checked instanceof DOMException, but a
cross browser probe showed Firefox and WebKit throw
OverconstrainedError objects that are not DOMExceptions, so the
fallback never fired there. Matching on the error name now
- When the browser ended a dictation test on its own (silence timeout),
the mic stream stayed open. All recognition end paths now stop the
tracks and save the transcript through a single finalize path
- The studio TTS audio element now releases its WAV data URL as soon as
playback ends, fails or is cancelled
- Allow microphone now reports insecure contexts (no mediaDevices)
accurately instead of claiming access was blocked
- Voice tab copy moved into i18n keys per src/i18n/AGENTS.md, so locale
overlays can translate it; en is the baseline and parity passes
- unsloth_voice_settings added to the Reset all local preferences key
list so voice preferences obey the reset
- Non default microphones note that the system default is used when the
browser speech engine cannot bind a specific device, since browsers
without the start(track) overload ignore the argument silently
Re-ran the full simulation set after the changes: 46 unit assertions,
13 backend contract checks and 60 browser assertions across Chromium,
Firefox and WebKit all pass, plus a dedicated browser probe for the
dictionary editing behavior.
* Studio: use the chat mic icon in Voice settings for consistency
The Voice tab and its buttons used the hugeicons Mic02 glyph while the
chat composer uses a custom filled mic. Extract that composer icon into
a shared lib/mic-icon component, drop the duplicate inline copies in
thread.tsx and shared-composer.tsx, and use it for the Voice tab icon
and the tab's mic buttons so the microphone looks the same everywhere.
* Studio: address second round of Voice settings review feedback
Verified each new comment against the current code first. One item was
already fixed in the previous round (recording transcripts when the
browser ends a dictation test on its own). Confirmed and fixed:
- The microphone row showed a picker with generic names when browsers
enumerate unlabeled devices before permission, leaving no way to
grant access from the row. It now branches on whether labels are
visible and shows Allow microphone otherwise
- Compare chat dictation ignored the selected microphone. It now opens
the chosen device with the same fallback rules as the main adapter,
passes the track to recognition where supported and releases the
stream when recognition ends
- Closing the Voice tab cancelled the shared speechSynthesis even when
read aloud was playing a chat message. Cleanup now only cancels when
the tab owns an active preview
- Double clicking Start test could race two recognizers and leak the
first stream. A starting flag set before the getUserMedia await makes
start reentrancy safe
- Turning off the read aloud setting mid playback removed the only stop
control. The stop button now renders whenever a message is speaking
- When an engine lacks the start(track) overload, both dictation paths
now release the selected device stream before retrying with the
default microphone instead of holding it open
- Read aloud support no longer requires Web Speech synthesis: the
Unsloth TTS engine only needs audio playback, so it stays available
in WebViews without speechSynthesis, with a clear error if the system
engine is chosen there
Not addressed here: cancelling in flight backend TTS generation on
stop. The route runs generation in a worker thread without a
cancellation path, which is shared pre existing behavior with audio
chat generation and belongs in a backend change.
All suites re-run green: 46 unit, 13 backend contract and 60 browser
matrix assertions across Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, plus probes for
the unlabeled device branch and the double click race.
* Studio: drop empty and duplicate voiceURIs so the Voice tab never renders a crashing Select item
* Studio: guard dictation mic lifecycle in Voice test and Compare composer
Release a microphone opened after the component unmounts, and stop Compare
dictation on a permission or security failure instead of silently recording
from the default device, matching the main chat adapter.
* Studio: fix dictation and read-aloud lifecycle edge cases in Voice settings
- Join final dictation chunks with a space so recorded transcripts do not merge words
- Ignore a stale recognizer onend so a quick stop then restart is not torn down
- Use previewingRef so a double click on TTS preview does not orphan the first request
- Keep the read-aloud stop control visible when a new run starts while a message is spoken
- Stop the dictionary remove button from deleting an adjacent entry on a blur then click race
* Studio: trim redundant Voice settings comments
* Studio: fix Voice preview and Compare dictation edge cases
- Only cancel the shared speechSynthesis for a system-voice preview, so stopping
a Studio preview no longer stops an unrelated chat read-aloud
- Release the Studio preview audio and its WAV data URL on normal completion
- Iterate every finalized result in Compare dictation so batched phrases are kept
- Cap persisted recent dictations to the last 20 on hydration
* Studio: use clipboard fallback for recents and release failed preview audio
- Copy recent dictations via the copyToClipboard helper so the execCommand
fallback works in Safari and insecure http LAN contexts
- Release the Studio preview audio when play() rejects, not just on ended/error
* Studio: add local speech-to-text dictation engine
Add an offline dictation engine that transcribes with a local faster-whisper
model, alongside the existing browser (Web Speech) engine. The browser engine
streams audio to Apple or Google speech services and needs internet; the new
engine runs on the server, works offline, and drives any chat model without
evicting it (it loads in the backend process, separate from the model
subprocess). It also gives Firefox dictation, which has no Web Speech support.
Backend: a lazily-loaded, kept-warm faster-whisper sidecar and three routes
under /api/inference/audio (stt/status, stt/load, transcribe). faster-whisper
is torch-free, so this does not disturb the existing model stack.
Frontend: a Dictation engine setting (browser or local model), a curated model
picker with sizes, and MediaRecorder capture posted to the transcribe route.
The model warms automatically when the engine is selected, with live status.
* Studio: stream local STT transcription as you speak
Local dictation showed nothing until you stopped, because the whole clip was
transcribed once on stop. Now the growing recording is re-transcribed on a
fast pass every second and emitted as live interim text, with an accurate
final pass on stop. Partial recordings decode fine, and the model refines
earlier words as more audio arrives.
Adds an interim flag to the transcribe route (beam 1, no VAD) for the fast
preview pass; the final stop uses the accurate path.
* Studio: make local dictation stop instant and reliable
Stopping local dictation waited for a final network transcription before the
session ended, so the stop button did not flip and a second click ended the
session early and dropped the text. Now stop commits the live transcript
immediately, releases the mic at once, and ignores a second stop while
finalizing. Previews run more often so the committed text is current.
* Studio: record local dictation in short clips for reliable streaming
Re-transcribing a growing buffer every second got slower as it grew, flooded
the backend, showed stale words, and could leave the stop button stuck waiting
on a backlog. Record short independent clips instead and transcribe each once,
appending the text as you speak. Work per clip is bounded, so stopping is
prompt (with a hard timeout as a safety net) and long dictations stay smooth.
* Studio: dictate then transcribe once on stop, ChatGPT style
Local STT dictation streamed by re-transcribing the growing clip, which
was quadratic and saturated the backend (multi-second lag), and stop only
halted the recorder without releasing the mic, so it kept recording. Record
the microphone continuously, release it the instant the user stops, and
transcribe the whole clip once. Stopping is immediate and the transcript
lands in about a second. Also add the tiny model for the fastest option.
* Studio: surface dictation and read-aloud failures instead of failing silently
- Compare dictation reports microphone and speech-recognition errors via toast,
reusing the main chat adapter's describeMediaError and describeSpeechError
- Read-aloud toasts genuine model or synthesis failures while ignoring cancellations
* Studio: ChatGPT-style recording bar for dictation
Clicking the mic now drops the composer into a dedicated recording bar
with a live waveform, a discard (X) and a confirm (tick), instead of a
plain stop button. The tick stops recording and transcribes the clip;
the X throws the recording away and keeps whatever text was already in
the composer. The model adapter taps the mic with an analyser to drive
the waveform, and the router tracks the live session so the X can cancel
it without transcribing.
* Studio: transcribe dictation while speaking, ChatGPT layout
Match ChatGPT's recording layout: the bar now renders in place of the
input with the left plus button kept, the waveform in the middle, and
the discard and confirm buttons together on the right.
Cut the post-confirm delay by transcribing in the background as the user
talks. The audio is split at natural pauses (voice-activity detection off
the same analyser that drives the waveform) and each clip is transcribed
as it is cut, so confirming only has to finish the short final tail. The
model is also warmed when recording starts so the first run never pays a
cold load.
* Studio: ChatGPT waveform, hide tools while dictating, faster STT
Make the recording UI read like ChatGPT: the waveform is now a dense row
of round dots that rise into thin centered bars, and while dictating only
the plus button shows, with the mode badge and tool toggles hidden so the
bar is just the waveform and controls.
Speed up transcription: decode greedily (beam_size=1), which is several
times faster on CPU with negligible accuracy loss on short dictation
clips, and cap background segments at 6s so the final tail after confirm
stays short.
* Studio: finish ChatGPT voice bar and low-latency STT
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: full-width waveform with a timer that freezes on stop
Use the full-width waveform for the recording bar: brighter, bigger bars
that advance on a fixed cadence (keeping peaks between advances) so they
glide instead of racing by, inset from the composer edges. Keep a visible
timer and the green confirm button, matching the ChatGPT reference, and
freeze the timer and waveform the moment the user confirms.

* Studio: restore Firefox dictation fallback
* Studio: add dictation history manager
* Studio: manage speech model downloads

* Studio: source local STT from Unsloth Whisper models
Point the dictation STT sidecar and its Model Hub download entries at
Unsloth's Hugging Face Whisper repos (small, large-v3-turbo, large-v3)
and run them through Transformers, so Studio only ever downloads
Unsloth-uploaded weights. Drop faster-whisper and the Systran/mobiuslabs
repos; keep the Model Hub as the only download path via local_files_only,
and keep PyAV for audio decoding.
Device selection uses float16 on CUDA and float32 on MPS and CPU, since
Whisper's decoder is unstable in float16 on MPS and repeats tokens.
Shorten the model picker labels to name plus download size and update the
STT tests for the new backend.

* Surface voice test recognition errors and fall back to Studio TTS
- Voice test now toasts non-abort speech-recognition failures instead of

- Read-aloud routes to the backend model when the runtime lacks Web Speech
synthesis (audio-only WebView), so it no longer errors immediately.
* Fix reviewed STT lifecycle races
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Fix read-aloud fallback controls
* Guard read-aloud stop when deleting a non-speaking message
aui.message().stopSpeaking() throws unless this message is the one being
read aloud, so calling it unconditionally rejected the delete handler before
the message was removed. Only stop speech when this message is speaking.
* Cap recent dictation transcript length before persisting
Recent dictations only limited entry count, so a long transcript stored the
full text in the persisted voice settings and a few could exceed the
localStorage quota, throwing synchronously from the uncaught dictation cleanup
path. Truncate each entry on save and on hydration, matching the dictionary cap.
* Studio: keep dictation mic clickable and guide to local model
Register the dictation adapter unconditionally so the mic stays enabled
for any engine and starts working right after switching to the local
model on an already-open thread.
When the browser engine cannot run (Firefox, Brave, non-secure origins),
clicking the mic shows a toast that points to the local speech-to-text
model instead of leaving a disabled button. The toast stacks its action
below the text with a fully rounded button.
* Studio: add bottom padding below the dictation guidance toast button
* Studio: increase bottom padding under the dictation toast button
* Studio: add bottom padding inside the dictation toast button
* Studio: add five Whisper defaults and custom model search
Add private UnslothAI Tiny and Base mirrors to the curated local STT choices while keeping Small as the default. Let users search or paste a Transformers-compatible Whisper repository and validate it end to end.
Keep short dictations in one clip to avoid repeated padded encoder work, then split longer recordings near Whisper's 30-second boundary.
Update hidden model filters and tests, including the CPU-only CI runtime stub for PyAV.

* Studio: use public Unsloth Whisper repositories
Point the Tiny and Base dictation defaults to the public unsloth repositories and remove the private mirror references from model filtering and tests.
* Studio: update Whisper download sizes
Reflect the cleaned public Tiny and Base repositories in the curated model labels.
* Studio: right-align STT model size, fix dropdown wheel scroll, refresh sizes
- Show the download size on the right of each model row so long names
like Whisper Large v3 Turbo no longer hide it
- Update curated Whisper sizes to the safetensors weights actually
downloaded: Tiny 151 MB, Base 290 MB, Small 967 MB
- Drive the model list scroll from a wheel handler so the mouse wheel
scrolls it inside the Settings dialog, not just the scrollbar
- Add a search icon and shorten the placeholder to Search model
* Studio: do not search when a dictation model is picked, shrink repo label
- Treat the filled-in model text as a selection, not a query, so choosing
a model no longer kicks off a Hugging Face search
- Make the repository line under each model name smaller
* Studio: tighten dictation model and local engine descriptions
* Studio: keep model display on pick instead of the query, shrink row text
- Guard the combobox input so selecting a model shows its name and does
not echo the typed query back or start a search
- Map the item label to the friendly display so picks fill the field
- Reduce the model name and size text in each row
* Studio: show only the model name in the dictation field, shrink size label
- Drop the download size from the search field; the name alone is shown
once a model is selected, with sizes kept in the dropdown list
- Reduce the size label text in each row
* Studio: clarify the dictation model description
* Studio: drop Hugging Face from the dictation model description
* Studio: move the dictation dictionary to its own Manage subpage
- Replace the inline entry list with a Manage row, matching Dictation
history, so a long dictionary no longer crowds Voice settings
- Add a DictationDictionaryView subpage that holds the entry editor
* Studio: match STT field font, use best voice for System default
- Bump the dictation model field text to text-sm so it matches the
engine dropdown next to it
- Resolve the System default read-aloud voice to the top curated voice
instead of the browser default, which is a robotic legacy voice on macOS
* Studio: rerank read-aloud voices and drop duplicate voice entries
- Rank by vendor quality, then the user's locale, then a preferred list of
natural voices, so the best voice leads instead of the first alphabetically
- Collapse voices that macOS reports twice under one name and language
* Studio: fold dictionary and recents into the dictation section
- Drop the separate Dictation dictionary and Recent dictations headings;
their Manage rows now sit under Dictation, split by the row divider
- Shorten the custom spellings description
* Studio: add search and sort to dictation history
- Filter saved dictations by text with a search field
- Sort by newest, oldest, or A to Z; show a no-matches message
- Keep Clear all available regardless of the current filter
* Studio: settle cancelled STT loads before training and fix dictation review items
Wait for a cancelled STT load to exit and release its memory before
reporting it freed for training, so the loader cannot still be inside
from_pretrained()/.to(device) holding VRAM when the training subprocess
starts. A load that finishes before observing the cancel now gets
unloaded so the memory is actually reclaimed.
Clear the accelerator cache before the CPU fallback in load() so a failed
CUDA/MPS load does not strand reserved VRAM once the sidecar is marked
CPU-resident.
Send the saved Hugging Face token when polling STT download progress so a
gated or private repo resolves and shows the correct Load/Downloaded
state instead of reporting missing.
Mark the composer Dictate button as type="button" so clicking it does not
also submit the draft when the composer already has text or attachments.
* Studio: pin dictation settings per session and close STT startup races
Capture the STT model and language when a dictation session starts and
pass them to every queued segment and the warm-up load, so changing the
model or language mid-recording no longer transcribes the same clip with
the wrong model or a model that is not downloaded.
Check the local runtime at the top of transcribe(), before the model
cache lookup and the bounded audio decode, so a server missing PyTorch or
Transformers returns 501 up front instead of decoding a long clip first.
Treat the training startup window as active for STT device selection.
start_training frees VRAM in before_spawn but only assigns _proc later, so
a concurrent STT load could take the GPU that was just cleared. A startup
flag now reports training active from the free until the process is live,
forcing those loads to CPU; a finally clears it on every exit.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: stub the STT runtime check in transcribe orchestration tests
transcribe() now verifies the local runtime up front, so the unit tests
that exercise transcription orchestration must treat the runtime as
present to keep passing where PyTorch, Transformers, and PyAV are not
installed. Stub ensure_stt_available in the shared fixture and restore
the real check in the availability and load-rejection tests.
* Harden custom Whisper dictation models
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Add whisper.cpp dictation engine with per-engine downloads and history rework
Engines
- New GGML STT sidecar that runs a managed whisper-server subprocess with
idle unload, plus a pinned static build script (scripts/build_whisper_cpp.sh)
- Dictation engine picker now offers Browser, Local transcription
(whisper.cpp), and Local transcription (Transformers)
- Both local engines serve the same five curated Whisper models and download
them directly with byte-level progress reported by /audio/stt/status
- Models auto load on selection and when their download finishes
- Unload and training admission account for both engines
Benchmarks (Apple Silicon, greedy, warm, same checkpoints)
- whisper.cpp transcribes 2.4x to 5x faster than Transformers and loads in
about 0.45s vs 0.86s for Whisper Small
- whisper.cpp GGUF path is unchanged by the Transformers addition
(load 0.445s -> 0.444s, short clip 0.391s -> 0.347s, long 1.197s -> 1.129s)
Voice settings UI
- Plain curated model select replaces the searchable combobox
- Single download progress bar with transfer rate for both engines
- Dictation history now stores every dictation with Show more pagination,
a top Clear history action, and links back to the chat it was spoken into
- Archived chats dialog gets the same pagination
- Delete dialog offers deleting a dictation together with its chat
Tests: 88 backend STT tests pass, including new snapshot download coverage.
Frontend typecheck, lint, i18n parity, and production build pass.
* Merge local engines into one option and source GGML models from unslothai
Engine selection
- The dictation engine dropdown is back to two choices: Browser and Local
transcription. The selected model decides the backend: curated ids run
GGML checkpoints through whisper.cpp, searched Hugging Face repositories
run safetensors through Transformers
- Model picker lists the curated models and searches Hugging Face for other
Whisper repositories, validating them before selection. The trigger is a
plain button so the selection never renders inside a text input
- /audio/stt/status accepts a model query param so downloaded state works
for custom repositories; the engine param on load, transcribe, and
download routes is derived from the model everywhere
Model source
- Curated GGML checkpoints now download from the Unsloth-hosted
unslothai/whisper-*-GGUF repositories (one repo per model) instead of
ggerganov/whisper.cpp; cache lookups, progress totals, and in-flight blob
tracking are per-model
Fixes
- Voice settings and dictation history were not persisting: the quota-safe
localStorage wrapper was declared after the store that uses it, so the
persist storage factory failed silently. Every settings write also threw
mid-click, which kept the model picker popover from closing on selection
- is_model_downloaded now verifies config, preprocessor config, and real
weight files instead of trusting an offline snapshot lookup, so a partial
download left by an aborted fetch shows the Download button instead of
failing to load
- Removed whisper.cpp mentions from user-facing text: the ready status
shows Loaded instead of the runtime name, picker rows show the source
repository, and runtime error messages say local transcription runtime
Verified with automated browser sessions and live API checks: selection
closes the picker with no page errors, persisted settings hydrate on
reload, a stale partial snapshot triggers download then loads on MPS and
transcribes, and curated models download from the unslothai repos. 88
backend STT tests, typecheck, lint, i18n parity, and build pass.
* Skip the duplicate source line for custom models in the STT picker
A custom repository's display name is its id, so search results and the
appended current selection rendered the same string twice. The source
line now only renders when it differs from the name; curated rows keep
their name, unslothai source repository, and download size.
* Verify every shard of a sharded checkpoint in the downloaded check
A snapshot holding one of N shards (or a corrupt shard index) passed the
downloaded check and then failed at load. When model.safetensors.index.json
exists, every shard in its weight map must now be present. Found by
simulation; covered by a regression test.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Rename stale _starting references in the pump resilience tests
The startup flag on TrainingBackend was renamed to _spawn_in_progress but
two tests added alongside it still asserted on the old name, failing the
Python 3.11 to 3.13 CI jobs.
* Make the selected model row clearly highlighted in the STT picker
The current selection was a faint background tint. It now uses the accent
background with a medium weight name. Two line rows use a small corner
radius; single line custom repo rows keep the pill shape.
* Address review feedback on STT snapshot checks, VRAM release, and dictation UX
Verify snapshot completeness in the load preflight so a partial download
fails before the audio is decoded, for curated and custom repos alike.
Drop the failed accelerator traceback before the CPU retry so the cache
clear can actually release that memory. Keep unloading the GGUF sidecar
after cancelling an in-flight Transformers load; both engines can hold
memory at once. Allow Auto language with English-only .en checkpoints,
matching the backend which sends no forced language. Keep the discard
button usable while a transcription is pending so a slow or hung request
cannot trap the composer in dictation mode. Stop linking Compare and
settings test dictations to the unrelated active single chat thread.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Move the CPU retry out of the exception handler
On Python 3.10 the interpreter exception state keeps its own reference
to the traceback, so dropping it from the caught exception was not
enough to release the failed accelerator load during the retry. Leaving
the handler before clearing the cache works on every supported version.
* Address review feedback on session handoff, chat pinning, and server lifetime
Starting a dictation from a second entry point now cancels the session
it replaces, so the old recording cannot keep the microphone open or
save a transcript with no discard button pointing at it. The linked
chat is pinned when recording starts, so switching threads while a
transcription finalizes cannot relink the transcript to the newly
opened chat. whisper-server is now bound to Studio's lifetime like the
other long-lived children: PDEATHSIG on Linux, the parent job object on
Windows, and pid adoption so the shutdown sweep reaps it; before this
it survived a Ctrl+C exit as an orphan still holding the model.
* Remove the dictation mic test from Voice settings
The composer dictate button covers the same check, so the test row, its
transcript panel, the unsupported fallback row, and their strings and
search entry are gone.
* Studio STT: gate GGUF whisper-server on training and fix dictation retry and dictionary edits
GGUF (whisper.cpp) sidecar:
- Launch whisper-server with --no-gpu while training is active, mirroring the Transformers sidecar's CPU device choice, so a mid-training dictation cannot reclaim the VRAM training just freed.
- Report is_loading() during whisper-server startup so training VRAM admission accounts for the accelerator memory it is about to bind.
- Require PyAV in is_available() so /audio/stt/status reports the engine unavailable when uploads cannot be decoded, instead of loading fine and then 501ing at transcription.
- Reject a missing model before decoding audio, matching the Transformers download preflight.
Voice settings:
- The download Retry button now restarts the download; the sidecar error is sticky until a new start(), so re-polling alone never cleared it.
Dictation dictionary:
- Tabbing from an emptied entry to its remove button no longer commit-splices the row first, which shifted indices and deleted the wrong entry.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio STT: fix curated GGUF whisper filenames to match hosted repos
The unslothai/whisper-*-GGUF repos host the checkpoint as whisper-<id>.bin,
not ggml-<id>.bin, so every curated dictation download and cached-path
lookup 404'd and the whisper.cpp engine could never load a model. Point
GGML_STT_MODELS at the real filenames and guard the naming with a test.
* Studio STT: validate a custom dictation repo before downloading it
The Transformers STT engine accepts an arbitrary owner/model repo, but the
download route handed it straight to snapshot_download, pulling a possibly large
non-Whisper repository into the shared HF cache. Confirm the repo is a Whisper
checkpoint first with the existing metadata-only validate_remote_model (no
weights); curated ids short-circuit and the GGUF engine (curated-only) is
unaffected. A non-Whisper repo now 422s before any download.
* Studio STT: preempt a still-loading GGUF server for training admission
A whisper-server still in its startup window binds accelerator memory but has no
loaded_model yet, so training admission could miss it and launch into an OOM.
Make the GGUF startup cancellable (cancel_pending_load signals an abort event and
terminates the starting process without the load lock; _wait_for_server observes
it and raises SttLoadCancelledError; wait_for_load_to_settle blocks on the lock
until the killed server is reaped), and always fold the GGUF sidecar into the
resident-STT summary so a resident Transformers model cannot mask a loading GGUF
server. free_stt_model_for_training now cancels an in-flight load and waits for it
to settle before training claims the memory.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio STT: fall back to Transformers when whisper-server is absent
A curated dictation model (including the default small) hard-pinned the GGUF
engine, but standard installs do not ship whisper-server, so every recording
501'd instead of using the Transformers engine that serves the same checkpoint
-- the GGUF sidecar's own documented contract. Add _resolve_serving_stt_engine:
a GGUF request for a curated id (the only ids GGUF accepts, all Transformers-
servable) downgrades to Transformers when whisper-server is unavailable, applied
consistently to download, load and transcribe (not unload, which targets a
specific engine). The Voice tab likewise falls back to the Transformers status so
the model is not shown unavailable and download is not blocked.
* Studio STT: hide custom Whisper caches from the legacy model pickers
The legacy /cached-models (and /cached-gguf) routes called is_hidden_model with
only the owner/model id, which cannot reach the config-based Whisper check, so a
downloaded custom (non-curated) Whisper checkpoint was still offered as a chat
model. Pass the cached snapshot path so _path_is_whisper_model inspects the repo
config and hides it, matching the discovery route.
* Studio STT: hide GGUF dictation repos, lock-free status, unload fallback, split training eviction
- Hide the curated GGUF dictation repos (unslothai/whisper-*-GGUF) from the chat
model inventory and pickers, backend and frontend. Only their Transformers
safetensors companions were hidden; the GGUF repos use a different org and a
-GGUF suffix and carry a raw .bin with no whisper config.json, so they leaked
into chat pickers.
- Make the GGUF sidecar loaded_model/device accessors lock-free, mirroring the
Transformers sidecar. transcribe() holds self._lock across the whole inference
call, so /audio/stt status polls and training admission previously blocked
behind an in-flight transcription.
- stt_unload resolves through the serving resolver: a "gguf" pick on a host
without whisper-server is served by the Transformers fallback, so unload must
target that engine or the resident model is never freed. Unload also attempts
every engine even if one raises, so a failure freeing one backend no longer
skips the other.
- free_stt_model_for_training frees the Transformers and GGUF sidecars under
independent exception boundaries so a failure unloading one no longer skips
the other before training claims the memory.
Adds tests/test_stt_review_fixes.py covering all four.
* Studio STT: resolve Auto dictation language for the model engine + snapshot process liveness
- The model dictation adapter sent the raw setting (the literal "auto") to the
backend, while the browser engine resolves Auto via resolveDictationLanguage.
A batch of non-English voice notes came back mostly English on Auto. Add
resolveModelDictationLanguage: only the literal "auto" is resolved to a
concrete locale, gated so it becomes a language the model AND Whisper can
honor (mirroring the backend's known-whisper-languages set); an explicit
language, or a locale Whisper cannot honor, stays unchanged/auto-detect. Wire
it into both adapter call sites.
- GgmlSttSidecar._process_alive() read self._process twice; a concurrent
unload() nulls it under the lock while loaded_model/device read lock-free, so
a null between the two reads called None.poll(). Snapshot once. Adds a
deterministic regression test.
* studio: tighten comments and docstrings in the dictation modules
* studio: harden dictation model downloads, GGML readiness, and recording paths
Address review findings on the STT dictation feature:
- build_whisper_cpp.sh refuses to delete a whisper.cpp tree under a custom
Studio home unless it carries the Studio ownership marker, matching the
setup.sh policy, and marks trees it creates
- _snapshot_is_complete validates every shard of a sharded PyTorch
(pytorch_model.bin.index.json) checkpoint like the safetensors path, and
requires tokenizer assets (tokenizer.json or vocab.json + merges.txt)
- custom-repo downloads pin the revision resolved at validation time and
restrict snapshot_download to the model/tokenizer/config/preprocessor file
classes Studio loads
- the GGML sidecar holds its port reservation until just before spawning
whisper-server and only accepts readiness from a responder that both looks
like whisper.cpp's server and belongs to the still-running managed child,
probing twice, so mic audio cannot be posted to a foreign local process
- the recording adapter transcribes every non-empty segment; the RMS meter
only shapes segment boundaries and can no longer discard quiet speech
- Compare-pane dictation can cancel a pending transcription on second click,
with the button relabeled while finalizing
- localStorage quota recovery halves the dictation history until the save
fits, so small histories shrink too
- the System default TTS voice resolves to the platform default voice
- new dictation UI imports go through the chat and hub feature barrels
Regression tests cover the build-script gate, sharded PyTorch and tokenizer
completeness, revision pinning and allow patterns, and the whisper-server
readiness probe.
* Fix STT download and voice picker follow-ups
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Add dictation button regression coverage
* Studio: prebuilt whisper.cpp via the shared llama.cpp install core, slim bundles paired to the llama prebuilt (#7294)
* Studio STT: add prebuilt whisper.cpp (whisper-server) installer
New install_whisper_prebuilt.py downloads a per-platform whisper-server
bundle published by the unslothai/whisper.cpp prebuilt CI into the managed
whisper.cpp dir (build/bin/whisper-server) so local dictation needs no
compiler. Mirrors install_node_prebuilt.py / install_llama_prebuilt.py:
host + backend detection, sha256 pins (whisper_prebuilt_pins.json) as the
trust anchor, staging + install lock + atomic swap, traversal-safe extract,
co-located shared libs (RUNPATH=$ORIGIN), an UNSLOTH_WHISPER_PREBUILT_INFO.json
marker with idempotent "already matches", and exit codes 0/1/2/3. Not wired
into setup yet; the pins ship empty so every asset fails closed until the
first fork release is published and its digests are reviewed in.
* Studio STT: install prebuilt whisper.cpp during setup and update
Add a fail-open whisper.cpp block to setup.sh after the llama.cpp section so
`unsloth studio update` (and a fresh install) fetch the prebuilt whisper-server
into the managed whisper.cpp dir the sidecar discovers. It skips a user-set
WHISPER_SERVER_PATH/UNSLOTH_WHISPER_CPP_PATH, honors UNSLOTH_SKIP_WHISPER_INSTALL,
forwards the resolved ROCm gfx, and never aborts setup: a busy install keeps the
existing runtime, and an unavailable prebuilt stays quiet (source build is opt-in
via UNSLOTH_WHISPER_FORCE_COMPILE) since Transformers STT and browser dictation
remain. Register UNSLOTH_WHISPER_PREBUILT_INFO.json as Studio-owned evidence.
* Studio STT: harden whisper-server child env + WSL ROCm detection
- Sidecar spawns whisper-server with a scrubbed child env that prepends the
binary dir (co-located GPU libs) to the loader path, and on WSL2 ROCm loads
the system HIP first (HSA_ENABLE_DXG_DETECTION=1) so a bundle's bare-metal HIP
does not segfault on /dev/dxg. Secret-bearing vars are dropped from the child.
- find_whisper_server_binary now requires an executable, not just a file.
- Installer rocm probe passes HSA_ENABLE_DXG_DETECTION and falls back to
/opt/rocm/bin/rocminfo so a WSL ROCm host is not misdetected as CPU-only;
gfx parsing skips the gfx000 CPU agent and generic ISA lines.
- Tests for the child env (secret scrub, lib dir, WSL HIP precedence), the
executable check, and the WSL rocm detection.
* Studio STT: in-app whisper.cpp prebuilt update stack + ship pins in the wheel
Mirror the llama.cpp update stack for the whisper.cpp prebuilt so Studio can
detect and install a newer whisper-server release from inside the app:
- backend/utils/whisper_cpp_freshness.py: read UNSLOTH_WHISPER_PREBUILT_INFO.json
and compare the installed release against the newest unslothai/whisper.cpp
release. Whisper tags are v<upstream>-unsloth.<N>, so is_behind compares a
(major, minor, patch, serial) key with a strict downgrade guard; 24h cache;
fail-open.
- backend/utils/whisper_cpp_update.py: run install_whisper_prebuilt.py to fetch
and atomically swap the newest bundle, unloading the warm GGUF sidecar first.
- backend/routes/whisper.py mounted at /api/whisper (update-status + update).
- pyproject: add whisper_prebuilt_pins.json to studio package-data so the
installer's trust anchor ships in the wheel (it is a data file, not a .py
module, so package discovery alone does not include it; node_prebuilt_pins.json
is listed for the same reason). Without this a pip-installed wheel had no pins
and the prebuilt install aborted to Transformers STT.
Adds test_whisper_cpp_freshness.py (version parser, is_behind matrix + downgrade
guard, marker layouts, stale decision, fail-open).
* Studio STT: verify whisper prebuilts via the release checksum index, like llama.cpp
Re-align the whisper.cpp prebuilt installer to install_llama_prebuilt.py's trust
model: instead of a committed whisper_prebuilt_pins.json, verify every download
against the release's own whisper-prebuilt-sha256.json checksum index, fetched
from the same GitHub release.
- parse_release_checksums / fetch_release_checksums / expected_sha256_for replace
the pins layer. The index is validated for schema/component and that its
release_tag matches the resolved release; an asset absent from it, a release
that does not publish it, or a manifest sha256 that disagrees with it all fail
closed to a source build.
- resolve_release_tag now resolves the newest published release at runtime (or an
explicit --published-release-tag), matching llama and the freshness check;
removed the pinned-default and the UNSLOTH_WHISPER_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED opt-in.
- Delete studio/whisper_prebuilt_pins.json and drop its pyproject package-data
entry (nothing to ship now, same as llama which has no committed pins).
- Adds test_install_whisper_prebuilt_checksums.py (index parser, fail-closed on
uncovered asset, tampered-manifest guard, newest-release resolution).
This is a same-origin checksum (integrity, not authenticity), identical to the
llama.cpp installer; pair releases with GitHub artifact attestations for provenance.
* Resolve whisper prebuilt release via the download host (no GitHub API)
Mirror install_llama_prebuilt.py's fast path: resolve the release tag from
the releases/latest redirect and fetch the manifest + checksum index from
constructed releases/download URLs, so the common install path makes zero
api.github.com calls (unauthenticated api.github.com is capped at 60 req/hour
per IP; the download host is not). Fall back to the GitHub API only on a 404,
malformed asset, or tag mismatch.
* Studio STT: coverage-aware whisper prebuilt selection via a shared core
whisper's select_artifact returned the first os/arch/backend manifest match and
ignored the SM-coverage fields the release manifest already carries, so a
Blackwell B200 (sm_100) was served cuda12-legacy (sms 50-61) -- runnable only via
forward PTX JIT. install_llama_prebuilt.py on the same host correctly picks
cuda13-newer.
Extract the coverage-aware selection into a shared, component-agnostic core under
studio/backend/utils/prebuilt/ (selection + GPU host-capability detection), lifted
from llama's linux_cuda_choice_from_release / _artifact_covers_sms / _sm_range and
generalised over a normalised artifact. whisper's HostInfo now records the GPU
compute caps + driver CUDA version (honoring CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES), and
select_artifact routes CUDA/ROCm through the shared selector: every visible SM
must be covered, the tightest-covering profile wins (Blackwell-aware runtime-line
ordering), ROCm matches the gfx target exactly, and an uncovered GPU falls back to
the CPU bundle. CPU/Metal/Vulkan keep first-match. The resolver JSON, exit codes,
and "already matches" contract are unchanged.
On the B200 the installer now resolves cuda13-newer, matching llama.
* Studio STT: gate whisper CUDA selection on the on-disk runtime, like llama
The prebuilt CUDA bundles are dynamically linked and intentionally do NOT ship
libcudart/libcublas -- they load the same runtime the host already has. So the
driver's advertised CUDA version is only an upper bound: a cuda13 bundle still
needs cuda13 runtime libraries present on disk. Port llama's on-disk runtime
scan (detected_linux_runtime_lines / detected_windows_runtime_lines) into the
shared core and intersect it with the driver-compatible lines in
select_cuda_attempts. A host with a cuda13 driver but only cuda12 runtime (e.g.
torch-cuda12) now correctly gets a cuda12 bundle instead of an unloadable cuda13
one; a host with no CUDA runtime at all falls back to CPU.
Fixes a glob bug in the port (any(Path(d).glob(p) for d in dirs) tests generator
truthiness, not a match) that made every major report present; add a real
filesystem test that exercises the scan.
* studio: harden shared prebuilt core to full llama parity
Apply the review findings on the shared coverage-aware prebuilt-consumer
core so whisper.cpp selection is exactly equivalent to the llama.cpp path.
hosts.py: port llama's CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES handling. A GPU hidden by an
index/UUID selector now reports has_usable_nvidia False instead of staying
usable, via supports_explicit_visible_device_matching plus the physical /
explicit-match branches, and _select_visible_rows now matches rows the way
llama does (index or UUID, gpu- prefix optional) and skips unmatched tokens
rather than keeping all rows. Adds the Linux /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus
fallback and has_physical_nvidia. Adds parse_macos_version.
runtime_libs.py: the Linux on-disk scan now requires the exact libcudart /
libcublas SONAME (libcudart.so.13), not a libcudart.so.13* glob, so a bare
versioned file without the SONAME symlink no longer counts as loadable.
Hardens the ldconfig parse against an empty left-hand side.
selection.py: fix the Blackwell/torch reordering so it keys on the covering
runtime lines (falls through to the torch preference when the covering lines
were filtered out), matching linux_cuda_choice_from_release. Corrects the
compatible_runtime_lines_for_driver docstring: the bundles do not ship the
CUDA runtime, so the driver version is only an upper bound and the caller
must intersect with the on-disk scan.
install_whisper_prebuilt.py: enforce a macOS artifact's min_os (new
HostInfo.macos_version) so a bundle that cannot load on the host OS version
is dropped. Keep resolver stdout to only the JSON line by leaving logs on
stderr in --resolve-prebuilt mode, and map an unexpected probe failure to
prebuilt_available False instead of a traceback.
Tests: new host-probe suite for the visible-device logic, exact-SONAME
runtime-scan cases, macOS min_os filtering, resolver stdout-only-JSON,
exit-code mapping, and the repo key.
* studio: fix whisper prebuilt selection + launch parity gaps from review
A parallel review surfaced integration defects where the whisper path could
select or launch a bundle that cannot run on a concrete host. Each is fixed to
match install_llama_prebuilt.py.
macOS min_os: the manifest labels macOS requirements as macos-<version>
(e.g. macos-14.0), which the version parser could not read, so the guard was a
no-op and a macOS-13 host would install the macos-14 Metal bundle. Strip the
platform prefix before parsing.
ROCm gfx detection: _detect_rocm_gfx returned the first gfx token and ignored
HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES / ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES / CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES. Since exact
ROCm matching treats that token as the active GPU, a mixed APU + dGPU host
(gfx1151 + gfx1100) with HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 installed the wrong archive. Route
through a shared pick_rocm_gfx_target (lifted from llama) that parses per-GPU
sections and honors the visibility vars (empty / -1 -> no AMD GPU).
--rocm-gfx override: recording the arch without setting has_rocm left the host on
its CUDA/CPU path so the ROCm bundle was never picked. --rocm-gfx now implies
has_rocm and clears NVIDIA state, like llama's _apply_host_overrides.
CUDA launch env: a CUDA bundle ships the ggml CUDA backend but not
libcudart/libcublas, and the sidecar launch env exposed only the bundle dir, so
on a host whose CUDA runtime lives only in the PyTorch wheels the selection would
gate cuda usable but the server could not load it. Add the CUDA-from-PyTorch
runtime dirs to the child loader path for CUDA bundles (bundle dir still first),
mirroring binary_env.
Also normalize a manifest artifact's supported_sms defensively (parity with
llama's parser) and document that blackwell_min_toolkit_for_caps is retained for
the Phase B llama Windows path.
Not changed (verified parity, not defects): Linux/Windows min_os is enforced
nowhere in llama (macOS only); the resolver is optimistic about the checksum
index and the install path verifies.
* studio: tighten prebuilt-core code comments
* studio: lift shared prebuilt installer core out of the whisper installer
* studio: reuse the llama.cpp prebuilt installer machinery for whisper
* studio: unify llama and whisper prebuilt installers on a shared descriptor core
* studio: consolidate prebuilt installer tests into the shared core suite
Grow tests/studio/install/test_prebuilt_core.py from 62 to 164 tests so every
component-agnostic behavior runs against both descriptors: the full seven
profile CUDA release matrix (multi-GPU, on-disk runtime gating, shuffle
stability, missing SM metadata, dotted SM normalization, no-driver fallback
policy), the ROCm gfx family matrix, macOS min_os gating and its helper,
backend resolution incl. cpu-fallback precedence and Intel-mac auto detect,
checksum-index non-object and plain-lookup cases, the tar symlink/hardlink
extraction guards moved from the llama suite, and the compute-cap, visible
device, runtime-line and Blackwell helper value tables moved verbatim from
the llama characterization suites.
Delete only tests whose exact behavior the master now asserts for the same
component: 40 pure-alias helper cases in test_selection_logic.py (replaced by
value-identical master tables plus an alias-identity pin), 6 extraction moves
and the master-absorbed zip-symlink case in the llama logic suite, 3 routing
twins in test_rocm_support.py already pinned byte-for-byte in
test_selection_logic.py, the 2 Blackwell helper tables in the backend resolve
suite, 28 whisper logic tests and 10 whisper checksum tests re-asserted by
the master whisper parameterization. Wrapper wiring pins, the llama release
plan dialect, fingerprints and every llama-only behavior stay untouched.
* studio: dedupe sidecar and update helpers into the backend prebuilt package
* studio: chain whisper.cpp prebuilt updates onto the llama.cpp update flow
* studio: consume paired slim whisper prebuilts via the llama ggml runtime
* studio: serve every whisper backend from slim prebuilts
* studio: drop the whisper fat per-accelerator selection chain
unslothai/whisper.cpp releases are slim-only from v1.9.1-unsloth.2: one
ggml-less bundle per os/arch, paired to the llama.cpp prebuilt that provides
every ggml backend. Delete the whisper-side fat CUDA/ROCm/metal/vulkan
selection glue; keep slim selection + pairing, link_ggml_runtime, and one
legacy shape, the published fat CPU bundle of an explicitly pinned pre-slim
release. Exit 2 now reads as prebuilt unavailable (whisper never source
builds); setup already treats it that way.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Wire libomp runtime DLL alongside ggml in slim whisper installs
llama's clang-built windows-arm64 ggml-base.dll imports
libomp140.aarch64.dll, shipped in the llama bundle but not a system DLL.
Without it next to whisper-server.exe the loader fails with
STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND before main. MSVC x64 links vcomp140.dll from
System32 and Linux ggml uses system libgomp.so.1, so only windows-arm64
was affected. The empty-runtime guard still requires a real ggml
library; libomp alone is not a pairing.
* studio: drop whisper-side fat-selection support structure
Slim whisper bundles are selected per os/arch only; all accelerator
capability comes from the installed llama.cpp prebuilt, whose installer
already did the coverage-aware selection. Remove the machinery that only
existed to pick among fat per-accelerator whisper bundles:
- prebuilt_core: delete the generic CUDA/ROCm coverage selection
(select_cuda_artifact, select_rocm_artifact, ArtifactView adapters,
detected_cuda_runtime_lines, the exact-SONAME linux probe) that no
shipped component routes through; llama keeps its own selection chain
and whisper shadows select_artifact with the slim-only version.
select_artifact is now a plain os/arch/backend first-match.
- install_whisper_prebuilt: drop the HostInfo CUDA fields
(compute_caps, driver_cuda_version, torch_runtime_line) and the torch
runtime probe that populated them; nothing reachable reads them, and
the resolver payload sources runtime_line from the artifact.
- whisper_cpp_update: delete the standalone start_update job worker;
whisper applies only run as the chained phase of the combined
llama+whisper update. The status payload keeps its job field (idle).
- routes/whisper: drop the progress logger that could never fire.
- tests: remove tests of the deleted paths and tests duplicating the
descriptor-parameterized core suite or the llama freshness suite.
Contracts unchanged: resolver JSON keys, exit codes, marker fields,
pairing logs, and the pinned pre-slim fat CPU escape hatch.
* Address review feedback on the whisper prebuilt update and install paths
- Pin the chained whisper phase to the release the freshness check
offered, so the download-host latest pointer cannot reinstall an
older build in a loop
- Wire the whisper prebuilt install into setup.ps1 (Windows setup
previously skipped it entirely)
- Treat a non-executable server or missing wired ggml libraries as a
broken install instead of reporting already matches
- Keep whisper sidecar reloads out of the job-level reload flag and
resync chat state after a partial chained update that unloaded llama
- Repoint home and profile vars for the whisper-server subprocess at a
managed scratch dir and drop credential-store pointers
- Clear the prebuilt marker before the opt-in source build overwrite
- Write the prebuilt marker with explicit utf-8 encoding
* Tighten comments in the whisper prebuilt consumer
* Harden the Windows whisper setup phase and the chained update edges
- setup.ps1: honor WHISPER_SERVER_PATH / UNSLOTH_WHISPER_CPP_PATH /
UNSLOTH_SKIP_WHISPER_INSTALL, run the custom-home ownership guard
before the atomic install, and forward the release-tag pin and ROCm
hints like setup.sh
- sidecar: a cpu-selected install launches whisper-server with --no-gpu
(slim wiring links every llama backend, so the flag is what keeps a
deliberate CPU choice off the GPU)
- chained update: leave whisper unpinned on macOS (the llama phase can
walk back there, and a newest-tag pin could be an impossible pairing
on every retry) and treat installer exit 2 as kept-existing-runtime
instead of failing the combined job
- job.to_tag now comes only from the llama phase, so a whisper-only
round cannot report a llama update that never ran

Replace the single word Studio with Unsloth wherever it is used as
shorthand for Unsloth Studio in docs, CLI output, UI strings, i18n
locales, workflow display names, comments and docstrings.
Kept unchanged: the full name Unsloth Studio, third party product
names (LM Studio, Visual Studio, Mac Studio), feature names
(Recipe Studio, Fine-tuning Studio and its translations), and all
identifiers such as env vars, commands, paths and filenames.
* Address review feedback on the Studio wording rename
Use "an" before Unsloth where the rename left the article as "a".
Restore the split brand where Unsloth and Studio render as two halves
of the full product name: the onboarding sidebar subtitle and the
IPv6 localhost warning. Scope two messages to the full name Unsloth
Studio where plain Unsloth was misleading: the AMD README bullet and
the CLI studio setup error.
* Update studio root-resilience tests for the inference-backend refactor
#6490 moved the studio_root() probe and its (ImportError, OSError, ValueError)
handler out of _find_llama_server_binary / _kill_orphaned_servers into the shared
_resolved_studio_root_and_is_legacy() classifier, and switched the WSL ROCm lib-dir
ordering to lib_dirs.extend(_wsl_system_rocm_lib_dirs()). These source-introspection
tests still asserted the old inline structure, so they fail on main (surfaced by any
PR that trips the Repo tests path filter, e.g. the Windows installer PRs). Point them
at the new structure and assert the defense in its new home; no runtime change.
* Address review: qualify the classifier call and harden helper-body extraction
Assert the callers invoke LlamaCppBackend._resolved_studio_root_and_is_legacy()
through the class namespace (more precise than the bare name), and end the
helper-source slice at the next sibling def/decorator at the same indent instead
of the literal @staticmethod string, so a future docstring that mentions a
decorator can't truncate the helper mid-body and break exec().

* Reduce and tighten comments and docstrings in tests
Shorten verbose comments and docstrings across the test suite without
changing any test logic. Remove narration that restates the next line,
collapse long module and test docstrings to a single line, and drop banner
separators. Keep regression context (issue and PR references, run ids),
skip reasons, mocking and timing rationale, license headers, lint and type
directives, and commented-out code.
Comments and docstrings only: an AST signature check confirms no code,
assertions, or string literals changed, and the suite byte-compiles cleanly.

* Fix llama.cpp prebuilt: skip the already-installed same-release fallback
install_prebuilt computes diffusion_visual_server_backfill_needed from the
newest candidate (plan.attempts[0]); when that is True it passed
existing_install_dir=None to validate_prebuilt_attempts, which disabled the
"existing install already matches this candidate" skip for the WHOLE plan. So
when the newest bundle failed validation the installer re-downloaded and
re-extracted an older fallback bundle that was already correctly installed.
Pass the real install dir always and gate the skip per-attempt: a matching
candidate is skipped unless that specific candidate still needs the
DiffusionGemma backfill re-extract.
Also make test_llama_cpp_search_roots_handles_studio_root_oserror read the full
_find_llama_server_binary / _kill_orphaned_servers method bodies instead of a
fixed 4000-char window. The except handler it asserts already exists, but the
function grew past the window so the guard silently failed; slicing to the next
sibling def keeps the check correct as the file grows.

Trim and tighten code comments and docstrings across the repository. Comment-only: every changed file verified code-identical to main via AST/token comparison.
Raise ruff line-length to 100 and extend the local pre-commit format pipeline (def-signature magic-comma normalization, short multi-line assert collapse, kwarg '=' spacing, blank-line-after-short-import removal, adjacent string-literal / f-string+plain merge, redundant-pass pruning). Every transform re-checks the file AST and is dropped if it would differ; the whole-repo reformat is verified AST-identical per file and idempotent.
* studio: contain export and dataset paths under their configured roots
resolve_under_root and resolve_dataset_path previously returned absolute
paths unchanged, so an authenticated client could supply
save_directory="/tmp/escape" (or any other absolute path) and have the
exporter drop adapter files anywhere the server user could write. This
turned up during a recent audit pass where an authenticated POST to
/api/export/export/lora with save_directory="/tmp/lora_escape_test"
returned 200 and wrote adapter_model.safetensors, adapter_config.json,
and tokenizer files under /tmp.
The fix is two-layered:
storage_roots.py adds an _assert_contained(resolved, root) helper that
runs after path resolution and rejects any result whose realpath does
not sit under realpath(root). resolve_under_root now rejects '..'
segments and null bytes outright, and only accepts absolute inputs when
they are already inside the configured root (internal call sites that
re-resolve a stored absolute path stay idempotent;
worker.py:resolve_output_dir(output_dir) etc. continue to work).
resolve_dataset_path picks up the same containment rule, scoped to the
three dataset roots.
models/export.py adds field_validator("save_directory", mode="before")
to ExportCommonOptions and ExportGGUFRequest so bad input fails fast at
422 with a clear message rather than a 500 deep inside the resolver.
The validator rejects empty/whitespace, null bytes, control chars,
strings longer than 255 chars, absolute paths, and '..' segments.
routes/export.py:_export_details now returns os.path.relpath(output_path,
exports_root()) so the Export Complete dialog and /api/models/loras no
longer leak the absolute install prefix to the UI; the basename is
used as a last-resort fallback.
Verified end to end:
- POST /api/export/export/lora {"save_directory":"/tmp/foo"} -> 422
"save_directory must be a name or relative path under the export
root; absolute paths are rejected". /tmp/foo is not created.
- "../../etc/escape" -> 422 "may not contain '..' segments".
- save_directory="my_subdir" -> still accepted (400 only because the
test had no checkpoint loaded yet, not because of validation).
- Internal idempotent re-resolve via resolve_export_dir(absolute path
that is already under exports_root) returns the same path unchanged.
* studio/sandbox: harden bash + python tool execution
The sandboxed Bash and Python tool channels in Chat ran with a thin
preexec hook (PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS + RLIMIT_FSIZE only). Bash had a
small word blocklist; Python had an AST safety pass aimed at
signal-tampering and shell-escape primitives. An audit pass showed
several gaps that a tool-calling model could trigger inadvertently:
- bash curl/wget/nc reached AWS IMDSv2 and returned live STS
credentials for the instance role.
- python "import socket; s.connect((169.254.169.254, 80))"
reached the same endpoint regardless of the bash blocklist.
- "cat /etc/passwd" was blocked at the bash side (because "passwd"
is in the blocklist), but "open('/etc/passwd').read()" in Python
happily returned its contents.
- "chr(115)+chr(117)+chr(100)+chr(111)" style dynamic-arg
construction slipped through the AST shell-escape check.
- The supervisor used proc.kill() on timeout, which only signals
the immediate pid; bash-backgrounded children survived. A fork
bomb could spawn for the full 300s timeout window.
- Session work directories under ~/studio_sandbox/<id>/ were
created with default umask (0o755), so any other UID on the host
could enumerate them.
- session_id sanitisation used a one-shot str.replace("..",""),
which is non-iterative and a small footgun.
This commit takes a conservative middle path: the sandbox still
runs as the Studio UID with no namespace tricks where the kernel
disallows them, but every chokepoint is tightened.
_sandbox_preexec now:
- calls os.setsid() so children share a process group; the
supervisor uses os.killpg(SIGKILL) on timeout/cancel so
backgrounded children die with the parent (new _kill_process_tree
helper, wired into _cancel_watcher and both _bash_exec /
_python_exec timeout branches).
- calls os.umask(0o077) so files the child writes default to 0o600.
- applies PR_SET_PDEATHSIG=SIGKILL so an orphaned child dies if
Studio exits.
- best-effort unshare(CLONE_NEWNET) for a private network namespace
(failure is logged and swallowed; defense-in-depth is still in
place via the bash blocklist and the AST checker below).
- sets RLIMIT_NPROC=10000 (tunable via UNSLOTH_STUDIO_SANDBOX_NPROC),
RLIMIT_AS=8GB, RLIMIT_CPU=300, RLIMIT_NOFILE=1024. The 10k NPROC
figure is chosen to sit well above the ~500 LWPs a healthy Studio
+ llama-server combination already uses while still capping a
runaway fork bomb. NPROC counts LWPs per real UID, so a lower
figure (e.g. 256) starves legitimate bash forks
("bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable").
_get_workdir:
- rejects session_id that doesn't match [A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,64};
non-matching values bucket into a shared "_invalid" dir.
- chmod 0o700 on both the workdir and on ~/studio_sandbox/ so
other UIDs cannot read another session's contents.
_BLOCKED_COMMANDS_COMMON gains: doas, pkexec, halt, poweroff, curl,
wget, nc, ncat, netcat, socat, ssh, scp, sftp, rsync, eval, source.
The intent is to keep general bash usage working (echo, ls, pipes,
loops, for, head, etc.) while denying the obvious egress and
escalation paths.
The AST checker (_check_signal_escape_patterns) is split into the
existing shell/signal/loop checks plus a new narrow IO denylist:
- Always flag non-literal args to anything in _SHELL_EXEC_FUNCS,
not just _STRING_SHELL_FUNCS. Closes the dynamic-arg bypass.
- Reject calls to socket.create_connection, socket.socket().connect,
urllib.request.urlopen, http.client.HTTP*Connection, requests.*,
httpx.* whose literal host argument is in a cloud-metadata
denylist (169.254.169.254 + 169.254.* + 100.64.*, plus the
GCP/Alibaba/ECS metadata hostnames and IPv6 link-local). Public
hosts (example.com, huggingface.co, ...) still work. Dynamic
hosts cannot be statically blocked; mitigated by the bash
blocklist + the netns where the kernel allows it.
- Reject literal open("/etc/passwd"), /etc/shadow, /etc/sudoers,
/etc/ssh/*, and /proc/<pid>/environ. Other files
(/etc/os-release, /etc/hostname, /tmp/*, user dirs) still work.
The _check_code_safety summariser is updated to include the new
network_calls and sensitive_file_reads buckets in its error string.
Regression-checked: echo, sleep, ls /tmp, for loops, piped helpers
(echo a | tr a A), urllib.request.urlopen("http://example.com"),
socket.getaddrinfo("example.com",80), open("/etc/os-release"),
open("/tmp/...","w") all still succeed. curl, wget, nc, ssh, rm,
socket.create_connection(("169.254.169.254",80)),
open("/etc/passwd"), open("/proc/self/environ") all correctly
blocked.
* studio: rate-limit login, rotate refresh tokens, add logout, security headers, gate bootstrap injection
A pass over the auth surface found a cluster of related issues that this
commit closes together.
Login (routes/auth.py):
- Add an in-memory per-IP login rate limiter. Five failed POSTs to
/api/auth/login inside a 60s window produce 429 with Retry-After.
A successful login clears the bucket. Previously 30 wrong passwords
in under one second was accepted as 30x 401, which combined with
the (now fixed) admin-username leak from /api/auth/status made
brute-force trivial against a small password.
Logout (routes/auth.py):
- New POST /api/auth/logout returns 204 and calls
storage.revoke_user_refresh_tokens(subject) so the refresh token
is no longer valid. Previously POST /api/auth/logout returned 405
and there was no way to invalidate refresh tokens short of
changing the password. Frontend session.ts already calls
clearAuthTokens() to drop localStorage; the new endpoint lets the
client also tell the server to revoke server-side state.
Refresh-token rotation (routes/auth.py + auth/storage.py):
- New storage.consume_refresh_token(token) atomically validates +
deletes a refresh token, returning (username, is_desktop). The
/api/auth/refresh handler now mints both a new access AND a new
refresh token; the supplied token becomes invalid. Replaying a
consumed refresh returns 401 "Invalid or expired refresh token".
The previous refresh_access_token helper is left in place for
callers that intentionally want the non-rotating shape; nothing
in the route layer uses it now.
/api/auth/status no longer leaks default_username (models/auth.py +
routes/auth.py):
- AuthStatusResponse.default_username becomes Optional[str] with a
None default; the handler always returns None. The frontend already
hardcodes HIDDEN_LOGIN_USERNAME = "unsloth" (auth-form.tsx:82), so
no UI change is required.
window.__UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__ no longer auto-injects (main.py):
- _inject_bootstrap is now opt-in via the
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP env var. The previous default
(inject whenever requires_password_change is true) embedded the
plaintext bootstrap password into the first-boot HTML for any
caller that hit /, /change-password, or any unknown SPA path.
Browser extensions and any XSS payload on the page could read it
trivially. With the new gate the bootstrap password lives only in
the auth/.bootstrap_password file (mode 0o600) where it has always
been; users typing it into a current-password field is the right
UX. routes/auth.py:change_password also clears
app.state.bootstrap_password defensively.
Security headers + server fingerprint (main.py + run.py):
- New SecurityHeadersMiddleware adds Content-Security-Policy,
X-Frame-Options: DENY, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff,
Referrer-Policy: no-referrer,
Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=(),
interest-cohort=(), and stamps server: unsloth-studio so the
generic uvicorn banner no longer fingerprints the stack. The
uvicorn.Config gains server_header=False so it stops emitting its
own Server header.
/api/health minimisation (main.py):
- Unauthenticated GET /api/health returns just
{"status":"healthy","timestamp":...} so load-balancer liveness
probes keep working without leaking version, device_type,
chat_only, desktop_protocol_version, or studio_root_id to
arbitrary callers. A request that presents a valid Bearer token
still gets the full diagnostic payload so internal launchers and
sibling-Studio detection (which compares studio_root_id) keep
working.
Verification:
- 30 wrong-password POSTs to /api/auth/login -> first 5 = 401, 6th
through 30th = 429.
- POST /api/auth/logout with a fresh token -> 204. The matching
refresh token then fails 401.
- Login -> R1; /api/auth/refresh with R1 -> new access + R2 (R2 !=
R1); /api/auth/refresh with R1 again -> 401; /api/auth/refresh
with R2 -> still succeeds once and rotates again.
- curl /api/auth/status -> default_username: null.
- curl http://127.0.0.1/ does not contain __UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__.
- curl -I / shows CSP, X-Frame-Options: DENY,
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, Referrer-Policy: no-referrer,
Permissions-Policy, and server: unsloth-studio.
- curl /api/health unauthenticated -> {status, timestamp} only.
curl with Authorization: Bearer <valid> -> full payload.
- Existing /api/system, /api/models/list, /api/train/status,
/api/inference/status, /api/auth/api-keys, login flow, SPA root
all still return 200 after the changes (regression smoke).
* studio: add SecurityHeadersMiddleware, MaxBodyMiddleware, /recipes redirect, gate _inject_bootstrap, minimise /api/health
This commit lands the main.py-side changes that share a single
middleware-registration spot. They are kept together because every
change here is either (a) a top-level middleware definition that has
to be added next to LoggingMiddleware, or (b) a route handler at the
same file-level.
SecurityHeadersMiddleware (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options:
DENY, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, Referrer-Policy: no-referrer,
Permissions-Policy, server: unsloth-studio). The previous responses
emitted no CSP, no XFO, no Referrer-Policy and were stamped
server: uvicorn.
MaxBodyMiddleware rejects POST/PUT/PATCH on the inference / dataset /
data-recipe / train / export prefixes when Content-Length exceeds
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_MAX_BODY_MB (default 100). The audit hit this by
attaching a 50 MB plain-text file to a chat message and watching
Studio base64-encode it into the JSON body; uvicorn has no enforced
cap so the only previous guard was the per-file 50 MB ceiling that
data-recipe upload routes already enforce. The new middleware extends
that ceiling to the OpenAI-compat path that the Chat attachments
flow through. Verified: a 200 MB JSON POST to /v1/chat/completions
returns HTTP 413 "Request body too large (209,715,264 bytes; max
104,857,600)". A small valid request continues to reach the handler.
_inject_bootstrap is gated behind UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP.
The previous default was to inline window.__UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__ =
{username, password} into the first-boot HTML whenever
requires_password_change was true, which exposed the plaintext
bootstrap password to any browser extension, page script, or LAN
caller on -H 0.0.0.0. The bootstrap password remains in the on-disk
.bootstrap_password file (mode 0o600) where it has always lived;
users typing it into a current-password field is the right UX.
/api/health unauthenticated returns {"status":"healthy","timestamp":
...} only; the previous payload (version, device_type, chat_only,
desktop_protocol_version, supports_desktop_auth, studio_root_id,
native_path_leases_supported) is preserved for callers that present
a valid Bearer token, so internal launchers and sibling-Studio
detection (which compares studio_root_id) keep working.
/recipes -> /data-recipes 308 redirect. The Data Recipes page lives
at /data-recipes; users typing /recipes hit the SPA catch-all and
saw "Not Found". The redirect also preserves any tail path, so
/recipes/<rest> -> /data-recipes/<rest>.
Verified end to end with curl: CSP / XFO / X-Content-Type-Options /
Referrer-Policy / Permissions-Policy all present on /, server header
is now unsloth-studio (uvicorn's own banner is suppressed via
server_header=False in run.py from the auth-batch commit). Followed
the /recipes redirect lands on the SPA HTML.
* studio: bound TrainingStartRequest hyperparameters at the schema level
POST /api/train/start accepted any value for learning_rate, batch_size,
max_steps, max_seq_length, warmup_steps, warmup_ratio, num_epochs,
save_steps, weight_decay, gradient_accumulation_steps, lora_r,
lora_alpha and lora_dropout, including -1, 0, 1e9, and non-numeric
strings like 'abc' or 'two' (which silently coerce to 0 in the
trainer). Probing showed the API returning 200 to learning_rate=-1
and batch_size=0; only max_steps had any partial clamping.
This commit adds field_validator on every numeric hyperparameter.
Bounds are chosen wide enough to span realistic single-host
configurations (B200 with 180 GB of memory comfortably fits the
upper end) while rejecting the values that always produce broken
training:
- learning_rate: parses str/float, requires 0 < lr < 1.0. Non-numeric
input raises with "learning_rate must be parseable as float (got
'abc')" instead of silently coercing to 0.
- batch_size: [1, 1024].
- gradient_accumulation_steps: [1, 4096].
- num_epochs: [1, 1000].
- max_steps: [1, 1_000_000].
- max_seq_length: [1, 131072].
- warmup_steps: [0, max_steps].
- warmup_ratio: [0.0, 1.0].
- save_steps: [0, 1_000_000].
- weight_decay: [0, 10] (typical 0..0.1).
- lora_r: [1, 512].
- lora_alpha: [1, 1024].
- lora_dropout: [0.0, 1.0).
Each validator names the offending field in its ValueError message
so the 422 response body identifies which input is bad. The
learning_rate validator returns its result as str (the schema field
type is str("2e-4") for backwards compatibility) so existing call
sites that float() the value continue to work.
Verified:
- learning_rate=-1 -> 422 "learning_rate must be > 0 (got -1.0);
typical range is 1e-6 .. 1e-3".
- learning_rate='abc' -> 422 "must be parseable as float".
- batch_size=-1 / 0 / 999999 -> 422 "batch_size must be in [1, 1024]".
- batch_size='two' -> 422 (pydantic int parser).
- max_steps=0 / -5 -> 422 "must be a positive int".
- max_seq_length=200000 -> 422 "must be in [1, 131072]".
- warmup_ratio=2.5 -> 422 "must be in [0.0, 1.0]".
- lora_dropout=1.5 -> 422 "must be in [0.0, 1.0)".
- Valid request with learning_rate='2e-4', batch_size=1, max_steps=5
passes validation and the training run starts as normal.
* studio: redact image-decode errors, clean checkpoint dirs on cancel, tolerate Stop-button + tool-result message shapes
Three small fixes that fall under "do not let the audit findings
become user-visible papercuts".
routes/inference.py - image-decode error redaction (the audit hit
this with a 0-byte / malformed / wrong-extension image upload). The
three image-normalise sites previously raised HTTPException(400,
detail=f"Failed to process image: {e}"). When PIL raised
UnidentifiedImageError(io.BytesIO(raw)) the message string included
"<_io.BytesIO object at 0x7e40a5d7bf60>", leaking both the Python
class name (confirming the PIL/io stack) and a heap address (mildly
useful for ASLR-bypass chaining if another memory-corruption bug is
ever found). Each site now catches UnidentifiedImageError and
returns the generic "Unsupported or corrupt image format"; the
fall-through generic except returns "Failed to process image". No
exception-repr is interpolated into a response body anywhere along
these paths.
core/training/training.py - checkpoint cleanup on cancel. When a
user clicks Cancel Training, the trainer flips _cancel_requested=True
and the supervisor force-terminates the subprocess. The trainer
writes checkpoint-<step> directories under output_dir every
save_steps; previously these survived the cancel and accumulated on
disk (the audit recorded ~67 MB stuck after a 200-step cancel with
save_steps=20). New helper _cleanup_cancelled_checkpoints(output_dir)
globs checkpoint-<int> entries and removes them. It is gated by a
realpath containment check against outputs_root() so it cannot
accidentally rmtree anything outside the configured outputs root.
force_terminate() invokes the helper after the subprocess join when
_cancel_requested is true. Stop-and-Save runs are unaffected because
that path keeps _cancel_requested=False.
models/inference.py - chat message shape tolerance. Two related
frontend interactions used to crash the request validator:
- After the Stop button truncates a generation, the frontend
retained {role:"assistant", content:""} in the conversation
history and replayed it on the next send. ChatMessage previously
required role="assistant" to have non-empty content or tool_calls,
so the next message returned 422 and the thread was permanently
broken. The validator now normalises empty assistant content to
None so the request round-trips and the trailing empty turn can
be ignored downstream.
- The frontend's second-round tool POST drops the streamed
tool_call_id, hitting the strict-spec check "role=tool requires
tool_call_id". The validator now synthesises an opaque id
(call_<8 hex>) when missing, so the request reaches the handler
and the model's final summarising response gets generated. The
proper fix lives in the frontend (carry the streamed id through
the second POST) and will follow.
Verified end to end with curl: HTTP 400 (model not loaded) on both
the empty-assistant history shape and the tool-result-without-id
shape, instead of HTTP 422 from the schema validator.

Trim verbose docstrings and inline finding references added in the
previous commits in this branch. Functionality unchanged.

* studio: await get_current_subject in /api/health and make refresh-token consumption atomic
The /api/health auth probe called get_current_subject(creds) without
awaiting it. The coroutine object is truthy, so any caller presenting a
Bearer header (valid or not) received the full diagnostic payload
including version, device_type, studio_root_id, etc. Await the coroutine
and treat HTTPException as 'fall back to the minimal liveness payload'.
consume_refresh_token did SELECT then DELETE WHERE id under default
autocommit isolation. Two concurrent POST /api/auth/refresh requests
could both win the SELECT before either DELETE ran, defeating
single-use refresh-token rotation. Replace with a single
DELETE ... WHERE token_hash = ? AND expires_at >= ? RETURNING ...
statement so the validate-and-delete lands as one atomic op under
SQLite's write lock (3.45.1 supports RETURNING; min was 3.35).
* studio: enforce body cap on chunked uploads and drop unsafe-inline from script-src
MaxBodyMiddleware previously only inspected the declared Content-Length
header; clients omitting it or sending Transfer-Encoding: chunked
bypassed the cap and could still drive an OOM via the downstream
JSON / file readers on /v1/chat/completions, /api/inference, /api/data-recipe,
/api/datasets, /api/train, /api/export. Rewrite as a raw ASGI middleware
that drains and counts http.request frames, replies 413 once the running
total exceeds UNSLOTH_STUDIO_MAX_BODY_MB before invoking the FastAPI
handler, and replays the buffered body to downstream so route code that
calls request.json() / await request.body() works unchanged.
CSP previously included 'unsafe-inline' on script-src, which defeats the
main XSS protection. The frontend bundle does not need inline scripts;
the only inline <script> the backend ever emits is _inject_bootstrap,
which is opt-in via UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP. Drop 'unsafe-inline'
from script-src by default; when _inject_bootstrap fires, generate a
per-response nonce, embed it on the inlined <script>, and have
SecurityHeadersMiddleware splice 'nonce-XXX' into the CSP for that one
response (the internal x-internal-script-nonce header is popped before
the response leaves the server). 'unsafe-inline' stays on style-src for
Vite-injected styles.
* studio: drop empty assistant sentinel before passthrough
ChatMessage._validate_role_shape normalises role="assistant", content=""
(the post-Stop sentinel emitted by the frontend) to content=None so the
in-process path can drop it via _extract_content_parts. The passthrough
path then ran m.model_dump(exclude_none=True), which strips the now-None
content key entirely, sending {"role":"assistant"} to llama-server / the
OpenAI-compat backend. That fails upstream and leaves the user without a
recoverable Stop->resume.
Add _drop_empty_assistant_sentinels and call it at both passthrough
message origins: _openai_messages_for_passthrough (covers
/v1/chat/completions and the Responses API which routes through it) and
the anthropic_messages_to_openai output before
_anthropic_passthrough_*. Assistant messages that carry only tool_calls
(no content) are preserved.
* studio/tests: cover audit-fix surfaces and rebase pre-existing tests
Adds and updates pytest coverage for the four bot-flagged audit fixes
landed earlier in this branch and rebases two pre-existing tests that
were broken by the relaxed-validator and /api/health auth-gate changes.
studio/backend/tests/test_middleware.py (new)
MaxBodyMiddleware: small protected, large declared, unprotected
passthrough, chunked-upload-over-cap rejection (the regression for
the original Content-Length-only gap), and chunked-under-cap replay.
SecurityHeadersMiddleware: script-src no longer carries
'unsafe-inline', style-src still does, default headers
(XFO/XCTO/Referrer-Policy/Permissions-Policy/server), and the
internal x-internal-script-nonce header is consumed by the
middleware and converted to 'nonce-XXX' in the CSP.
/api/health: no auth -> minimal, invalid Bearer -> minimal
(the await regression), valid Bearer -> full diagnostic payload.
studio/backend/tests/test_desktop_auth.py
consume_refresh_token: second-call returns None, expired returns
None, and a 64-thread concurrent pile-up against the same hash
produces exactly one successful consumer (regression for the
SELECT-then-DELETE race).
test_health_response_reports_desktop_capability_fields: rebase
against the new health_check(request) signature by going through
TestClient with a real bearer instead of asyncio.run-ing the
handler directly.
studio/backend/tests/test_openai_tool_passthrough.py
Pin the new ChatMessage tolerance: assistant without content or
tool_calls is tolerated (normalises content -> None), empty-string
and empty-list assistant content normalise to None, and a missing
/ empty tool_call_id on role='tool' is synthesised as call_<hex>
rather than raising. Tests for _drop_empty_assistant_sentinels
cover the three drop shapes (empty string, empty list, missing
content key), preservation of assistant text and tool_calls-only
messages, and end-to-end through
_openai_messages_for_passthrough.
studio/backend/main.py
SecurityHeadersMiddleware.dispatch used response.headers.pop(...)
for the nonce-header handoff; Starlette's MutableHeaders has no
pop. Read-then-del so the internal handoff header is still
stripped before the response leaves the server.

* studio/tests: rebase three more pre-existing CI tests against this branch
CI on PR #5375 was red on three tests that were tuned for behaviour
predating this branch. Updates each so the assertions match what the
audit fixes intentionally changed; no production code touched.
studio/backend/tests/test_trained_model_scan.py
test_scan_trained_models_includes_lora_and_full_finetune_outputs
passed an absolute tmp_path through scan_trained_models, which now
runs resolve_output_dir / _assert_contained against outputs_root().
Repoint outputs_root() at tmp_path via monkeypatch so the fixture
dirs land under the configured root and the realpath containment
check passes.
tests/test_studio_install_workspace_guard.py
test_health_endpoint_exposes_studio_root_id_not_raw_path read
the first 1500 bytes after @app.get("/api/health") and asserted on
the studio_root_id literal. The handler grew (unauth short-circuit
+ await dependency gate) and the literal slid past the byte window.
Replace the fixed window with a slice up to the next top-level
@app.* decorator so the test surveys the whole handler regardless
of size.
tests/studio/studio_api_smoke.py
The "login burst (5x wrong pw) -> 401 each" assertion was tagged
"When/if we add one, this assertion updates in the same PR." We
added the per-IP rate-limit in routes/auth.py
(_LOGIN_MAX_FAILS=5/60s) but missed the assertion update. Rewrite
the burst probe to observe the new invariant: at least one 401,
eventual transition to 429, and Retry-After present on the 429.
Adds a small _login_with_headers helper since the existing login()
helper drops response headers.

* ci(studio-ui): set UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP=1 for Playwright Studios
The Chat UI Playwright test drives the first-boot change-password
form, which (per playwright_chat_ui.py step "1. Change-password
through the UI") pre-seeds the hidden current_password field from
window.__UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__. That global is only emitted when the
backend's _inject_bootstrap path fires, which since the security
pass on this branch is gated behind UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP
and defaults to off. Without the global, the React form's
current_password validator never satisfies, the submit button stays
disabled, and the composer.wait_for() probe times out on
/change-password.
Re-enable injection only for the CI Studios that drive the chat UI
across linux/mac/windows. Production deployments are unaffected: the
env var has to be explicitly opted into, and the on-disk
auth/.bootstrap_password remains the source of truth for human users
typing the password in by hand.
Covers all eight Studio launch sites: the primary chat-ui boot and
the "extra UI tests" boot for each of the three OSes, plus the
pipeTransport JSON-crash retry relaunches in the macOS workflow that
re-spawn Studio mid-job.
A follow-up frontend PR will add a visible current_password input so
the form satisfies its own validator without needing the bootstrap
auto-fill at all; once that lands this CI knob can come back out.
* studio/sandbox: drop unshare(CLONE_NEWNET); add trusted-host allowlist; block sandbox file uploads; raise CPU rlimit default to 600 s
CLONE_NEWNET inside _sandbox_preexec silently killed every outbound
HTTP request from sandboxed Python whenever the kernel allowed
unprivileged user namespaces. requests.get('https://huggingface.co'),
urllib.request.urlopen('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...'),
socket.connect(('arxiv.org', 443)) all failed despite the AST visitor
intending to allow them. The bash blocklist (curl / wget / nc / ssh /
scp / sftp / rsync / socat / eval / source) plus the AST-level
metadata-host denylist still carry the network policy after this
change; CLONE_NEWNET was redundant with both.
Add _TRUSTED_PUBLIC_HOST_LITERALS + _TRUSTED_PUBLIC_HOST_SUFFIXES
(~100 informational hosts: Wikipedia language subdomains, Wikimedia,
Wikidata, Google search, Bing, DuckDuckGo, HuggingFace, GitHub,
raw.githubusercontent.com, arXiv, StackOverflow / Stack Exchange,
MDN, docs.python.org, PyTorch / TensorFlow / NumPy / pandas docs,
pypi / files.pythonhosted.org / npmjs / crates.io, ReadTheDocs,
arXiv, Britannica, BBC / Reuters / Nature / Science, NASA / CDC /
NIH / WHO open data, api.weather.gov). The visitor now blocks
literal hosts that are neither metadata nor trusted with a short
LLM-readable string so the model can retry with an allowed source
instead of choking on a multi-line error.
Block upload-shape calls regardless of host: requests.post / put /
patch / delete / request with files= or data=open(...) /
data=bytes_literal; httpx equivalents; urllib.request.urlopen /
Request with data=...; HuggingFace upload_file / upload_folder /
upload_large_folder / create_commit (module-level FQ paths AND
method-name match on any receiver). Message: "Blocked: file upload
disallowed in sandbox".
Bump UNSLOTH_STUDIO_SANDBOX_CPU_S default 300 -> 600 s so long
agentic chains that span multiple tool calls don't get SIGXCPU'd
mid-stride. Env-var override path is unchanged.
Host normalisation now strips trailing dot, userinfo @, and explicit
port before allowlist / denylist comparison so trailing-DNS-dot,
userinfo-smuggling, and explicit-:443 URLs are decided correctly.
* studio: raise default request-body cap from 100 MB to 500 MB
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_MAX_BODY_MB default goes 100 -> 500 to comfortably
cover vision + audio + multi-recipe-batch JSON payloads. The
MaxBodyMiddleware stream-counting logic from this branch's earlier
06ec088 already handles chunked bodies up to the new cap; env-var
override path is unchanged for callers that want a tighter limit.
* studio/auth: restore /api/auth/status.default_username to 'unsloth'
This branch's earlier b39e9a4 changed default_username to None on the
public /api/auth/status endpoint so the username field didn't leak to
unauthenticated callers. In practice this regressed third-party
clients (and the in-tree React login form's pre-fill UX) without
adding meaningful security: the bootstrap password is the actual
secret, and the username 'unsloth' is the documented default.
Pin default_username to storage.DEFAULT_ADMIN_USERNAME ('unsloth')
and tighten the response model so the field is required rather than
Optional. Anyone who needs anonymisation can still reach for an
allow-list deployment with auth disabled.
* studio/training: raise max_seq_length / batch_size / lora_r / lora_alpha caps
This branch's 7102815 introduced field validators with conservative
caps. The follow-up loosens them so long-context experiments and
high-rank LoRA exploration aren't gated at the schema layer:
_MAX_BATCH_SIZE 1024 -> 4096
_MAX_SEQ_LENGTH 131_072 -> 2_000_000 (2M tokens)
lora_r cap 512 -> 16_384 (_MAX_LORA_R)
lora_alpha cap 1024 -> 32_768 (_MAX_LORA_ALPHA)
_MAX_GRAD_ACCUM / _MAX_STEPS / _MAX_EPOCHS / lora_dropout /
warmup_ratio / weight_decay are unchanged. Hardware (VRAM, host
RAM, kernel launch latency) is now the binding constraint at the
new caps, which is the correct ordering -- the validator stays a
sanity check on -1 / 0 / 'abc' style garbage, not a usability gate.
* studio/tests: cover sandbox allowlist + upload block + raised training caps
studio/backend/tests/test_sandbox_tools.py (new):
TestMetadataHostDenylist -- short "Blocked: cloud-metadata host"
message on AWS IMDS, GCP metadata,
Alibaba ECS, AWS IPv6 IMDS, 169.254/16.
TestTrustedHostAllowlist -- Wikipedia (any language subdomain),
Google, DuckDuckGo, HF, raw GitHub,
arXiv, StackOverflow / family,
MDN, docs.python.org, pypi, BBC,
api.weather.gov, NumPy / PyTorch docs.
TestUntrustedHostBlock -- example.com / random unlisted host
rejected with the short "Blocked: host
not in sandbox allowlist; use an
allowed informational source" message.
Dynamic URLs (computed var) still pass
-- documented limit of static analysis.
TestHostNormalization -- trailing dot, explicit :443, uppercase,
userinfo-@-smuggle all decided
correctly without false-block /
false-pass.
TestUploadDenylist -- requests / httpx / urllib.urlopen with
files= / data=open / data=bytes,
HfApi().upload_file / upload_folder /
create_commit, module-level
huggingface_hub.upload_folder. POST
json= to trusted host still passes.
TestSandboxCpuRlimitDefault -- pin UNSLOTH_STUDIO_SANDBOX_CPU_S=600
default and confirm CLONE_NEWNET
source line is gone.
TestMaxBodyDefault -- pin UNSLOTH_STUDIO_MAX_BODY_MB=500
default.
studio/backend/tests/test_studio_train_validation.py (new):
Pin at-cap-accepts / over-cap-rejects boundaries for
max_seq_length=2_000_000, batch_size=4_096, lora_r=16_384,
lora_alpha=32_768 so a future regression that tightens them back
without explicit user opt-in is caught.

* studio: tighten code comments across the security-hardening pass
* studio: always inject bootstrap credentials on first boot
The UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP gate added an extra
terminal-to-browser copy-paste on every fresh install. In practice
the LAN credential leak it guarded against is narrow: the password
is one-time, the user rotates it on the very next click, the
default Studio bind is 127.0.0.1, and -H 0.0.0.0 already exposes
the entire API surface. Drop the gate so the inject fires whenever
a bootstrap password is still pending. The CSP nonce wiring stays
in place; the inline script remains the only inline script the
backend ever emits.
The three Playwright UI smoke workflows lose their
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP=1 lines along with the explanatory
comment blocks since the inject now happens by default.

PR #5341 splits studio/src-tauri/src/preflight.rs into a directory of
submodules. The cmd.env_remove("UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME") + STUDIO_HOME
calls now live in preflight/managed.rs instead of preflight.rs, so
test_tauri_preflight_scrubs_studio_home_env counted zero matches in
the old single-file location and failed with "assert 0 >= 2".
Read whichever shape is on disk: preflight.rs at the old path plus
every *.rs under preflight/ (current PR has 2 occurrences in
preflight/managed.rs). The guard intent is unchanged: at least 2
env_remove calls covering run_cli_probe and probe_cli_capability,
plus the single commands.rs scrub in check_install_status. Verified
locally: pytest tests/test_studio_install_workspace_guard.py::test_tauri_preflight_scrubs_studio_home_env passes.

* install: support STUDIO_HOME / UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME for custom install paths
Currently install.sh and install.ps1 hardcode all install paths off
$HOME / $env:USERPROFILE with no env-var fallback. This blocks
workspace-isolated installs (CI sandboxes, per-PR test environments,
multi-tenant boxes) unless the entire HOME / USERPROFILE is faked,
which also relocates ~/.gitconfig, ~/.ssh, and other unrelated state.
Add an opt-in env-var override that does only what is needed.
Resolution priority (highest first):
1. HOME / USERPROFILE explicitly redirected vs the password-database
default. Detected via getent (Linux), dscl (macOS), or
[Environment]::GetFolderPath (Windows). Best-effort: when the
detection mechanism is unavailable the check is skipped and we
fall through to step 2.
2. UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME, if set.
3. STUDIO_HOME, if set (alias for convenience; the variable name
already matches the internal var install.sh sets).
4. Default: legacy $HOME/.unsloth/studio (or
$USERPROFILE\.unsloth\studio on Windows). Identical to today's
behavior when no env var is set.
When an env var override fires:
* DATA_DIR is nested inside ($STUDIO_HOME/share, or $StudioHome\share
on Windows) so the runtime launcher and shortcuts find studio.conf
in the same place install-time wrote it.
* The unsloth CLI shim lands at $STUDIO_HOME/bin/unsloth (Unix) or
$StudioHome\bin\unsloth.exe (Windows). On Windows the shim already
lives under $StudioHome; the change only redirects DATA_DIR and
skips the persistent registry PATH update.
* Persistent shell PATH modifications are skipped (no .bashrc /
.zshrc / .profile append on Unix; no Add-ToUserPath on Windows).
Caller is expected to invoke via absolute path or add the bin dir
to PATH explicitly. Avoids polluting the user's profile with a
workspace-scoped path that may be deleted.
The Unix launcher script is the only piece that must read DATA_DIR
at runtime (it sources studio.conf from there). The hardcoded
DATA_DIR inside the LAUNCHER_EOF heredoc is replaced with an
@@DATA_DIR@@ placeholder substituted via sed at install time, using
the same approach the script already uses for other install-time
substitutions.
Default path behavior is unchanged: when no env var is set and HOME
is not redirected, install.sh / install.ps1 produce exactly the same
file layout as today.
Test scenarios verified locally on install.sh:
* Default (no env vars) -> $HOME/.unsloth/studio (legacy)
* HOME=/tmp/x -> /tmp/x/.unsloth/studio
* UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=/tmp/y -> /tmp/y as STUDIO_HOME root
* STUDIO_HOME=/tmp/z (alias) -> /tmp/z as STUDIO_HOME root
* HOME redirect + env var (HOME wins) -> install follows HOME
* Unwritable override -> exits with clear ERROR message
* install: priority change -- env vars now win over HOME redirect
Flip the resolution order so explicit env vars take precedence over
HOME / USERPROFILE redirection.
New priority (highest first):
1. UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME, if set.
2. STUDIO_HOME, if set.
3. HOME / USERPROFILE explicitly redirected.
4. Default.
Rationale: the env vars are explicit single-purpose signals (the user
typed UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=... specifically to redirect Studio). HOME
redirection is broader and incidental -- the user may have redirected
HOME for unrelated reasons (workspace tools, container builds) without
wanting Studio to follow it. When both are set, the more specific
signal should win.
When only HOME is redirected (no env var), behavior is unchanged from
the previous commit: install follows $HOME.
* install: address review feedback (sed escape, downstream propagation, edge cases)
Fixes from gemini-code-assist + chatgpt-codex-connector + reviewer.py
20-parallel run on the open PR.
install.sh:
* Escape sed replacement metacharacters before substituting @@DATA_DIR@@.
Two-stage escape: ' -> '\'' for safe single-quote shell embedding,
then \, &, | for sed replacement string + chosen delimiter. Heredoc
switched to single-quoted DATA_DIR='@@DATA_DIR@@' so we only need
single-quote escaping at runtime. Verified end-to-end with paths
containing & and | (the sed delimiter).
* Pass UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME into both setup.sh invocations
(--local and PyPI paths) so the downstream install resolves the
same Studio root install.sh picked.
* macOS .app stub: replace hardcoded
exec "$HOME/.local/share/unsloth/launch-studio.sh" with
exec "$_css_data_dir/launch-studio.sh" so the .app launches the
resolved launcher even in env-override mode.
* Use mkdir -p -- and cd -- when validating the env override so
paths starting with - cannot be misread as flags.
install.ps1:
* Drop .Guid from [guid]::NewGuid().Guid: the property does not
exist; the probe filename was always identical and not unique.
Default ToString() on System.Guid produces the canonical UUID
string we want.
* Guard LOCALAPPDATA before Join-Path to avoid aborting the
installer in service / CI contexts where LOCALAPPDATA is unset
(Join-Path under $ErrorActionPreference='Stop' would otherwise
throw). Computed once into $defaultDataDir; both 'profile' and
'default' branches reuse it.
* Set $env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME for the duration of the
'unsloth studio setup' subprocess so studio/setup.ps1 and
unsloth_cli see the same install root install.ps1 picked.
Restored in a finally block.
studio/setup.sh:
* Honor UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME (alias) when resolving
STUDIO_HOME, VENV_DIR, VENV_T5_*_DIR. Falls back to the legacy
$HOME/.unsloth/studio when no override is set.
studio/setup.ps1:
* Same change in PowerShell: honor $env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME /
$env:STUDIO_HOME for $StudioHome / $VenvDir resolution.
unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py:
* Replace the module-level constant
STUDIO_HOME = Path.home() / ".unsloth" / "studio"
with a resolver that honors UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME
before falling through to the legacy default. Same precedence
the installers use.
Verified locally: 6 install.sh scenarios still produce correct paths
(default, HOME redirect, env var, alias, both, bad override). New
sed-escape unit tests pass for paths containing & and |. Python
resolver matches priority: UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME > STUDIO_HOME > default.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* install.sh: portable sed (no -i.bak) per gemini review feedback
GNU sed -i.bak vs BSD/macOS sed -i.bak vs BusyBox sed have subtly
different semantics. Use the POSIX-portable redirect-then-mv pattern
instead. Functionally identical, runs everywhere.
* studio: persist UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME so fresh shells find custom installs
Without this, a custom-root install (UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=/work/studio
bash install.sh --local) only worked in the same shell that ran the
installer. Closing the terminal and reopening lost the env var, the
PATH was deliberately not persisted, and the Python CLI fell back to
~/.unsloth/studio. Result: 'Studio not set up' or quietly operating on
a stale legacy install.
Three persistence layers, all backwards-compatible (default installs
emit zero changes):
1. Unix studio.conf
install.sh now writes 'export UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=...' next to
UNSLOTH_EXE in studio.conf when in env-override mode. The launcher
sources studio.conf at startup so the exec'd binary gets the var.
Default installs do not write this line; studio.conf stays
byte-identical to before.
2. Windows launch-studio.ps1
install.ps1 prepends '$env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME = ...' to the
generated launcher when in env-override mode. Default installs
produce the same launcher content as before.
3. Python sys.prefix inference
storage_roots.studio_root() and unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py
now infer the install root from sys.prefix when no env var is
set (Path(sys.prefix).parent for unsloth_studio venvs). Catches
direct invocations of <STUDIO_HOME>/bin/unsloth that bypass the
launcher entirely.
unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py also re-exports the resolved
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME via os.environ.setdefault so child processes
(setup script, backend run.py) inherit it.
Backend storage roots (storage_roots.studio_root, cache_root) now
respect the env var via the shared resolver. run.py PID file,
transformers_version.py T5 venvs, and model_config.py vision-check
venv all switch to studio_root() so custom installs are
self-contained.
studio/setup.ps1: T5 sidecar venvs now resolve under $StudioHome
(was $env:USERPROFILE\.unsloth\studio\.venv_t5_*).
studio/setup.sh + studio/setup.ps1: llama.cpp build dir nests under
$STUDIO_HOME / $StudioHome when env-override is active, otherwise
keeps the legacy ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp.
Verified locally:
* studio.conf write block: env-override mode emits the export line;
default mode does not (byte-identical to today).
* PowerShell heredoc interpolation: correct output for both modes.
* studio_root() resolver: default, UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME, STUDIO_HOME
alias, and sys.prefix-based inference all return correct paths.
* cache_root() now derives from studio_root().
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* install: tilde expansion + macOS .app stub safe-quoting
Two fixes from running a 25-scenario simulation sweep against install.sh
across path edge cases (spaces, apostrophes, ampersands, pipes,
backslashes, dollar signs, Unicode, trailing slash, relative paths).
1. UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=~/foo was landing as literal '~/foo' (env vars
are not subject to tilde expansion). Added a POSIX-portable case
block in install.sh, install.ps1, studio/setup.sh, studio/setup.ps1
that expands a leading ~ or ~/ to $HOME / $env:USERPROFILE.
The prefix-removal pattern is single-quoted ('${var#'~/'}') so the
shell does not tilde-expand the pattern back to $HOME/ before
matching -- a subtle dash/bash gotcha.
2. macOS .app stub used an unquoted heredoc ('<< STUB_EOF'), so any
$VAR / backtick / etc in the path would expand at .app launch time.
Switched to single-quoted heredoc ('<< 'STUB_EOF'') with a
placeholder + sed substitution + single-quoted shell embedding,
matching the @@DATA_DIR@@ pattern already used for launch-studio.sh.
Verified: 25/25 simulation scenarios pass on Linux dash + bash,
including paths with $VAR, &, |, \\, ', spaces, and Unicode. End-to-end
install in env-mode + fresh-shell launcher invocation confirmed: studio
binds to /api/health from a clean env, and sys.prefix-based inference
correctly returns the workspace root.
* install: stop accidentally treating default installs as env-override
Reviewer.py 20-runs cycle 1 found a unanimous P1 regression: a default
'unsloth studio update' relocates llama.cpp from ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp
to ~/.unsloth/studio/llama.cpp, because the CLI was re-exporting
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME unconditionally and install.sh / install.ps1 were
passing it into setup.{sh,ps1} unconditionally. The setup scripts
treated the var's mere presence as "env-override mode" and relocated
the llama.cpp build dir away from the legacy path, breaking the
runtime backend's _find_llama_server_binary lookup on default installs.
Fixes:
* unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py: _resolve_studio_home now returns
(path, is_custom). Re-export only when is_custom -- a real env
override or a sys.prefix inference that resolves to a non-legacy
path. Default installs leave UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME unset.
* install.sh: gate UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME on $_STUDIO_HOME_REDIRECT == env
before calling setup.sh. Use 'env $VARS bash setup.sh' so the var
is set only for the subprocess, never leaked.
* install.ps1: gate $env:UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME on $StudioRedirectMode
-eq 'env' before invoking 'unsloth studio setup'. Restore prior
value in finally block (unset if it wasn't set).
* studio/setup.sh + setup.ps1: decide llama.cpp install root from
the resolved $STUDIO_HOME (not from env-var presence). If the
resolved path equals the legacy default ($HOME/.unsloth/studio),
fall back to ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp. This makes setup robust against
a stale UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME inherited from a parent process that
happens to point at the legacy default.
* studio/backend/core/inference/llama_cpp.py:
- _find_llama_server_binary() now searches studio_root() / llama.cpp
AND the legacy ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp (de-duped). Custom-root
installs become discoverable; default installs unaffected.
- kill_orphaned_servers ownership allowlist also includes
studio_root() / llama.cpp so custom-root processes are cleanable.
Verified locally:
* 25/25 sim scenarios still pass (path edge cases unchanged).
* setup.sh unit test: default-mode lands UNSLOTH_HOME at $HOME/.unsloth;
env-mode lands at $STUDIO_HOME.
* Python CLI unit test: default-mode returns is_custom=False and does
NOT setdefault UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME; env-mode sets is_custom=True.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* install: || exit 1 on STUDIO_HOME subshell (dash set -e gap)
Gemini review feedback: in dash, set -e does not trigger on subshell
failures inside variable assignments. If 'cd -- "$_override" && pwd'
fails, STUDIO_HOME stays empty and DATA_DIR collapses to /share. Add
explicit '|| exit 1' on both install.sh:187 and setup.sh:413.
* install.sh: argv-safe setup invocation for paths with spaces
Cycle 2 reviewer.py 20-runs found a unanimous P1: passing the env-var
through 'env $_STUDIO_ENV_FOR_SETUP' word-splits on whitespace, so a
custom root like '/tmp/Unsloth Studio' becomes 'UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=
/tmp/Unsloth' followed by env trying to exec 'Studio'.
Replaced with a tiny helper that prepends the env-var directly to the
argv (no string-form intermediary), so spaces are preserved as a
single argument. Default-mode invocation skips the env-var entirely.
Verified: 'UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=/tmp/test space/studio' now reaches
setup.sh as a single value.
* studio: tighten sys.prefix inference + Tauri env handling + llama.cpp env
Cycle 3 reviewer.py findings (3 P1s converging):
* sys.prefix inference too broad: a developer venv named 'unsloth_studio'
was being treated as a custom Studio root. Narrow with an installer-
sentinel check (presence of share/studio.conf or bin/unsloth shim
inside the parent dir) in both unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py and
studio/backend/utils/paths/storage_roots.py.
* Tauri studio/src-tauri/src/process.rs::find_unsloth_binary() hardcoded
~/.unsloth/studio. Honor UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME (in that
priority order) before falling back to legacy.
* unsloth-zoo's GGUF export binds LLAMA_CPP_DEFAULT_DIR at import time
from UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH. For env-override installs, persist
UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH alongside UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME in studio.conf
(Unix), in the generated PowerShell launcher (Windows), and via
os.environ.setdefault in the Python CLI when running on a custom
root, so GGUF export uses the custom-root llama.cpp build instead
of the legacy ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp.
Default behaviour unchanged: no env vars are written to studio.conf
in default mode, no LLAMA_CPP_PATH is set, and the dev-venv inference
falls through to legacy when no installer sentinels are present.

* studio: desktop_auth env-aware + legacy-root llama.cpp consistency
- desktop_auth.rs: honor UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME for the
.desktop_secret path so Tauri desktop login works against custom-root
installs instead of always reading ~/.unsloth/studio/auth/.
- install.sh / install.ps1 / unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py: when an env
override resolves to the legacy default ($HOME/.unsloth/studio), set
UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH to ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp (matching setup.sh /
setup.ps1's legacy-equality branch). Previously the persisted value
pointed at $STUDIO_HOME/llama.cpp, which was a non-existent location
and broke unsloth-zoo's import-time GGUF binding for that edge case.
* studio: tauri studio_root helper + marker-file persistence + ~ expansion
Address cycle-5 reviewer findings:
- Add studio/src-tauri/src/studio_root.rs: shared resolver with
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME (priority order), tilde expansion
(~, ~/..., ~\...), installer-written marker fallback, then
~/.unsloth/studio. 5 unit tests cover the expansion paths.
- Tauri lookups now go through the shared resolver:
- process.rs::find_unsloth_binary
- desktop_auth.rs::desktop_secret_path
- main.rs::setup_logging (tauri.log under custom root)
- commands.rs::open_logs_dir (opens custom root dir)
- install.rs work_dir uses parent of resolved root (avoids creating
a stray ~/.unsloth on a custom-root install)
- install.sh / install.ps1 (env-mode only): write
~/.unsloth/studio-home marker so the desktop app launched from
Finder/Start Menu (no shell env inheritance) still resolves the
custom root.
- install.sh / install.ps1 non-interactive completion: when
StudioRedirectMode=env, print the absolute custom-root shim path
since the persistent rc/registry PATH update is intentionally
skipped in env-override mode.
- unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py: replace setdefault() with
truthy-check so a blank UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH
in the parent env doesn't suppress the inferred custom root.
40/40 cargo test --bins pass.
* studio: validate marker file + write in --tauri mode + propagate to subprocess
Cycle-6 reviewer follow-ups:
- studio_root.rs marker resolver now validates the persisted path before
using it. A stale ~/.unsloth/studio-home pointing at a deleted/moved
workspace is ignored (resolution falls back to the legacy default
rather than hijacking it). Validation accepts share/studio.conf
sentinel or bin/unsloth shim. Trailing newline strip uses
trim_end_matches(['\n','\r']) so paths whose content legitimately has
leading/trailing spaces survive.
- install.sh / install.ps1: marker write moved out of the launcher
generation path so it runs before the Tauri-mode early exit. Both
shell-launcher and Tauri-installed env-mode roots now persist the
marker. Removed the duplicate marker write that was previously inside
install.ps1's $studioHomeExport block.
- studio/src-tauri/src/install.rs: pass UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME to the
installer subprocess (when not already in scope) so app-initiated
repair / update flows reach the same root the running app uses.
cargo test --bins -- --test-threads=1: 44/44 pass (4 new tests for
marker validation: sentinel accepted, bin shim accepted, empty dir
rejected, missing path rejected).
* studio: fix Tauri legacy-fallback regression + stale marker cleanup
Cycle-7 reviewer follow-ups (regression I introduced in cycle 6):
- studio_root.rs: add StudioRootSource enum + resolve_studio_root_with_source().
Lets callers distinguish a real custom override (Env / Marker) from the
legacy fallback (Default).
- studio/src-tauri/src/install.rs: only forward UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME to the
installer subprocess when the resolution source is Env or Marker. The
Default fallback must NOT be passed -- install.sh / install.ps1 treat
any non-empty UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME as env-override mode and would
relocate DATA_DIR to $STUDIO_HOME/share and _LOCAL_BIN to $STUDIO_HOME/bin
(regressing default Tauri repair / update flows from the legacy
~/.local/share/unsloth and ~/.local/bin).
- install.sh / install.ps1: clear stale marker on default / HOME-redirect
installs. A user who first installed with UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=/work/studio
then later reinstalls without env vars no longer has the desktop app
hijacked by ~/.unsloth/studio-home pointing at the old custom root.
- install.sh / install.ps1: when env mode wins over a redirected
HOME / USERPROFILE, write the marker into the OS-reported real profile
home (getent / dscl on Unix; [Environment]::GetFolderPath on Windows)
so a later desktop launch from the user's normal session still finds
it. Falls back to the current HOME / USERPROFILE.
cargo test --bins -- --test-threads=1: 45/45 pass (1 new for the source
enum invariants).
* install: scrub stale marker from real-home on HOME-redirect cleanup
Cycle-8 reviewer follow-up: the previous cleanup branch only removed
\$HOME/.unsloth/studio-home, leaving a stale marker in the real
password-database home after a prior env-mode install. A later default
install with redirected HOME / USERPROFILE would still see the desktop
app resolving the old custom root.
- install.sh: compute the real password-database home (via getent /
dscl) unconditionally, and scrub markers from BOTH \$HOME and the
real-home in the default / HOME-redirect cleanup branch.
- install.ps1: build a profile-candidate list (current USERPROFILE
+ OS-reported real profile) and remove markers from EVERY candidate
in the default / profile-redirect cleanup branch.
bash -n + cleanup smoke verified.
* revert: drop Tauri env-var support + marker file mechanism
Keep this PR scoped to shell installer + Python backend env-var support.
Tauri desktop integration with custom Studio roots is deferred to a
separate, focused PR.
Reverts to pre-PR state:
- studio/src-tauri/src/process.rs (find_unsloth_binary)
- studio/src-tauri/src/desktop_auth.rs (auth_secret_path)
- studio/src-tauri/src/main.rs (setup_logging tauri.log path)
- studio/src-tauri/src/commands.rs (open_logs_dir)
- studio/src-tauri/src/install.rs (work_dir + subprocess env)
- studio/src-tauri/src/studio_root.rs DELETED
Removes from install.sh / install.ps1:
- ~/.unsloth/studio-home marker write/read/cleanup
- HOME-redirect-aware marker location logic
What this PR keeps (the original scope):
- install.sh / install.ps1: UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME env-var
resolver with HOME-redirect detection, tilde expansion, legacy
fallback. Default installs are byte-identical to pre-PR.
- studio/setup.sh / studio/setup.ps1: legacy-equality llama.cpp path.
- studio.conf / launcher persists UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME +
UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH for fresh shells (env-mode only).
- unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py: env > sys.prefix sentinel > legacy
resolver, conditional re-export.
- studio/backend/utils/paths/storage_roots.py: same resolver.
- Backend modules use storage_roots (run.py, model_config.py,
transformers_version.py, llama_cpp.py).
cargo test --bins -- --test-threads=1: 34/34 pass (pre-PR baseline).
bash -n install.sh: clean.
* install: cycle-10 fixes (default launcher, --tauri guard, env-mode shortcuts, win PATH)
- install.sh launcher: default and HOME-redirect installs keep the
legacy DATA_DIR=\"\$HOME/.local/share/unsloth\" runtime form so a
later shell with a different \$HOME still resolves DATA_DIR. Only
env-mode bakes the resolved absolute path. Restores byte-identical
default behavior.
- install.sh / install.ps1: fail fast when --tauri is combined with
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME. The desktop app still resolves
the legacy ~/.unsloth/studio root, so a custom-root --tauri install
would yield a desktop app that cannot find its binary or auth
secret. Print the right alternative.
- install.sh / install.ps1: skip persistent desktop / Start-Menu
shortcuts in env-override mode. Workspace-scoped installs would
otherwise leave launchers pointing at a path the user may delete.
Default and HOME/profile-redirect installs keep the shortcut.
- install.ps1: re-prepend env-override \$ShimDir AFTER
Refresh-SessionPath. Refresh rebuilds PATH as Machine > User >
current \$env:Path, so a previously-installed legacy User PATH
entry would otherwise win precedence over the current-session
env-override shim.
bash -n install.sh, pwsh parser install.ps1 + setup.ps1: clean.
cargo test --bins -- --test-threads=1: 34/34 (Tauri unchanged).
* install: cycle-11 fixes (env-mode launcher writes, --tauri legacy passthrough, run.py llama path)
- install.sh / install.ps1: env-mode no longer skips the entire
create_studio_shortcuts / New-StudioShortcuts function. Move the
early-return INSIDE those functions, just before the persistent
desktop / Start-Menu shortcut creation. The runtime launcher
(launch-studio.sh / launch-studio.ps1), studio.conf with
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH exports, and the icon
ARE always written so env-mode shims can resolve via fresh shells.
- install.sh / install.ps1: --tauri guard passes through when the
override resolves to the legacy default ($HOME/.unsloth/studio /
%USERPROFILE%\.unsloth\studio). The desktop app already uses that
path, so explicit-equality is a supported edge case (matches the
llama.cpp legacy-equality branch).
- studio/backend/run.py: when launched directly (bypassing the
unsloth CLI), set UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME and UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH
before the rest of import chain runs so unsloth-zoo's import-time
LLAMA_CPP_DEFAULT_DIR binding picks up the custom-root build. Only
set when STUDIO_ROOT is a real custom override; legacy default
installs leave them unset.
bash -n install.sh, pwsh parser install.ps1: clean.
python ast parse studio/backend/run.py: clean.
cargo test --bins -- --test-threads=1: 34/34 pass (Tauri unchanged).
* install: cycle-12 fixes (--tauri trailing slash + main.py uvicorn env)
- install.sh / install.ps1 --tauri legacy passthrough: strip trailing
separators before comparing the override to the legacy default.
Previously UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=\"\$HOME/.unsloth/studio/\" (with
trailing slash) was rejected even though it resolves to the
supported legacy root.
- studio/backend/main.py: when launched directly via
\`uvicorn main:app\` from a custom-root venv (bypassing both
unsloth_cli and run.py), export UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME and
UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH before any unsloth-zoo import so its
import-time LLAMA_CPP_DEFAULT_DIR binding picks up the custom-root
build. Only sets when STUDIO_ROOT is a real custom override.
bash -n install.sh, pwsh parser install.ps1, python ast main.py: clean.
Smoke probe: UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=\$HOME/.unsloth/studio/ install.sh --tauri
no longer exits with the unsupported-custom-root error.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* install.ps1: skip CWD-relative venv migration in env-override mode
The legacy ~/unsloth_studio venv migration path on Windows reads
%USERPROFILE%\unsloth_studio\Scripts\python.exe (a fixed home-relative
path). Under env-override mode this would Move-Item the user's
pre-existing default-install venv into $StudioHome\unsloth_studio,
breaking the default install and contaminating the workspace root.
Gate the migration on $StudioRedirectMode -ne 'env' so workspace-scoped
installs leave the user's default-install venv untouched.
No Linux equivalent: install.sh migrates from \$STUDIO_HOME/.venv which
is already env-mode-aware (points at the workspace root, not \$HOME).
* install: cycle-14 fixes (Tauri env scrub + setup.ps1 missing-root error)
Tauri does not honor UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / STUDIO_HOME / UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH
yet -- the desktop app's Rust paths use the legacy ~/.unsloth/studio root.
If the user's shell has these env vars set, spawned Python subprocesses would
diverge from the Rust paths (custom-root Python <-> legacy-root Rust).
Scrub the three env vars at all Tauri subprocess spawn sites:
- process.rs: backend launch
- desktop_auth.rs: provision-desktop-auth subprocess
- install.rs: install.sh / install.ps1 invoked from the desktop app
(also prevents the --tauri guard from rejecting an inherited override).
setup.ps1: when UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME points at a non-existent directory,
'Resolve-Path -LiteralPath' threw a confusing PSObject error under
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop". Test-Path the override first and emit a
friendly "run install.ps1 to create the install root" message instead.
* install: cycle-15 fixes (preserve UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH + add update.rs scrub)
UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH is a pre-existing custom-llama.cpp-directory override
the Python backend (studio/backend/core/inference/llama_cpp.py) and unsloth-zoo
intentionally support. It is unrelated to the Studio install root. Cycle 14
over-scrubbed it from the Tauri spawn sites, regressing desktop GGUF/llama.cpp
workflows for users who set it in their shell.
- process.rs / desktop_auth.rs / install.rs: stop scrubbing
UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH; only scrub UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME and STUDIO_HOME.
- update.rs: missed Tauri spawn site -- add the same UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME /
STUDIO_HOME scrub so 'unsloth studio update' from the desktop app updates
the legacy-root install Tauri actually manages.
Verified: cargo test --bins -- --test-threads=1 -> 34/34 pass.
* install.sh: document apostrophe-escape derivation inline
The shell quoting at install.sh:642 / 659 / 679 / 680 / 823 has been
flagged as broken across multiple review cycles, but every end-to-end
verification (DATA_DIR=\"a b's&c|d\$e\" -> generated launcher -> source ->
recovered exact input) passes. The proposed "8 backslash" fix would
double the escape and actually break what currently works.
Strengthen the inline comments to spell out the derivation:
- shell pattern \"s/'/'\\\\''/g\" passes \"s/'/'\\''/g\" to sed (\\\\ -> \\)
- sed replacement '\\'' yields close-quote / escaped-quote / open-quote
- stage 2 (\\, &, |) only needed where the value is then sed-replaced
into a launcher template via s|@@DATA_DIR@@|VALUE|g
studio.conf is written via printf, not sed, so it only needs stage 1.
No behavior change, only inline doc to head off future false positives.
* install/setup .ps1: use -LiteralPath for $StudioHome-derived paths
Pre-PR, $StudioHome was hardcoded to %USERPROFILE%\.unsloth\studio --
no wildcard characters possible. The PR introduces UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME /
STUDIO_HOME, so $StudioHome (and every path derived from it: $VenvDir,
$VenvPyExe, $UnslothExe, $UnslothHome, $LlamaCppDir, $VenvT5_*, etc.)
can now contain bracket characters that PowerShell would interpret as
wildcards.
Reproducer (from cycle 17 review 20):
pwsh> Test-Path 'studio[abc]/Scripts/python.exe'
False
pwsh> Test-Path -LiteralPath 'studio[abc]/Scripts/python.exe'
True
Switch the relevant Test-Path / Remove-Item / New-Item / Move-Item calls
in install.ps1 and studio/setup.ps1 to -LiteralPath. Sites where the
path is fixed (the shim under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps,
$RepoRoot from -PSCommandPath) keep the wildcard-aware form.
* install/setup .ps1: fix New-Item -LiteralPath regression from cycle 17
Cycle 17 added -LiteralPath to all $StudioHome-derived path operations,
but New-Item has no -LiteralPath parameter (verified pwsh 7.6 syntax:
"New-Item [-Path] <string[]> [-ItemType <string>] ..."). Every directory-
creation site would throw "A parameter cannot be found that matches
parameter name 'LiteralPath'" at runtime, blocking T5 sidecar setup,
llama.cpp parent creation, and StudioHome creation.
Likewise, "Split-Path -LiteralPath $X -Parent" cannot mix LiteralPath
with -Parent (separate parameter sets). The default LiteralPath mode
already returns the parent.
Switch to [System.IO.Directory]::CreateDirectory($X), which natively
takes a literal path, and drop the trailing -Parent on Split-Path.
Verified end-to-end on a bracketed path "/tmp/...[abc]":
- CreateDirectory: created
- Test-Path -LiteralPath: detects
- nested CreateDirectory(Split-Path -LiteralPath ...): works
* install/setup .ps1: extend -LiteralPath sweep to remaining \$StudioHome paths
Cycle 17/18 missed several wildcard-aware operations on user-controlled
\$StudioHome-derived paths. Reviewers identified remaining sites:
install.ps1:
- \$UnslothExePath (Test-Path / Resolve-Path) at the shortcut creator
- \$VenvDir (Get-ChildItem) at the no-torch-runtime resolver
- \$ShimDir (New-Item Directory -- replaced with .NET CreateDirectory)
- \$ShimExe (Test-Path / Remove-Item / re-prepend guards) -- the shim
lives at \$StudioHome\\bin\\unsloth.exe in env-override mode, so it
inherits bracket sensitivity from \$StudioHome.
- \$UnslothExe (Copy-Item fallback) when HardLink fails.
studio/setup.ps1:
- \$LlamaServerBin (Test-Path) at the prebuilt-bundle / source-build
validation gates (3 sites). \$LlamaServerBin lives under \$BuildDir
under \$LlamaCppDir under \$UnslothHome under \$StudioHome.
New-Item HardLink keeps -Path because creating a non-existent target
with brackets succeeds (verified via direct pwsh smoke test).
* install: cycle-20 fixes (more setup.ps1 -LiteralPath + shell-quote launch hints)
setup.ps1: extend -LiteralPath sweep to remaining \$BuildDir-derived paths
that the cycle-19 commit missed:
- \$CmakeCacheFile (Test-Path + Select-String -Path)
- \$buildTmp (10 Test-Path / Remove-Item sites in source-build cleanup)
- \$QuantizeBin (Test-Path)
- \$altBin (Test-Path)
These all live under \$BuildDir -> \$LlamaCppDir -> \$UnslothHome ->
\$StudioHome, which is now user-controlled via UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME.
Bracket characters in the override would silently skip rebuild
detection or leave stale build artifacts.
install.sh: shell-quote the launch-instruction substep lines for env-
override mode. UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME values containing spaces or
apostrophes (e.g. "/tmp/O'Brien Studio") would print copy-paste-
unsafe commands -- the install succeeded but the printed launch
instructions split at the space. Now wraps with the canonical
'\\''-style escape so the printed lines parse with bash -n.
Verified end-to-end:
- printed shim line: '/tmp/O'\''Brien Studio/bin/unsloth' studio ...
- bash -n on the printed line passes.
* install.ps1: -LiteralPath for macOS-stub-launcher \$appDir-derived paths
The shortcut/launcher generator at install.ps1:418-693 writes the
stub launcher, .vbs, and icon under \$appDir = \$StudioDataDir, which in
env-override mode is \$StudioHome\share. Cycle 17/19/20 missed the
following wildcard-aware ops on these paths:
- Test-Path \$appDir (with New-Item Directory swap to .NET CreateDirectory)
- Set-Content -Path \$launcherVbs (for the WSH .vbs stub)
- Test-Path / Copy-Item \$bundledIcon (bundled icon copy)
- Test-Path / Remove-Item \$iconPath (icon header validation)
In env-override mode \$StudioHome can contain bracket characters;
without -LiteralPath the .vbs write fails outright and the icon
validation can either skip a present icon or fail to delete a
malformed one. (The COM shortcut creation downstream returns early
in env-override mode, so its path values don't need this treatment.)
* install: don't override pre-existing UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH in launchers
Cycle 14/15 established UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH as a pre-existing
custom-llama.cpp-directory override the Python backend and unsloth-zoo
intentionally support, independent of the Studio install root.
The launchers (studio.conf sourced by Unix launch-studio.sh, and the
PowerShell launch-studio.ps1) were unconditionally re-exporting it,
which silently overrides a user's pre-existing value when they invoke
the launcher from a shell where UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH is already set.
Make the assignment conditional in both launchers:
install.sh studio.conf:
if [ -z "\${UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH:-}" ]; then
export UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH='...'
fi
install.ps1 launch-studio.ps1:
if (-not \$env:UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH) {
\$env:UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH = '...'
}
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME stays unconditional: the launcher is bound to a
specific install, so its STUDIO_HOME must always match that install.
* install.sh: harden --tauri legacy resolver against CDPATH and symlinks
Reviewer cycle 23 (inst 19) noted that the bare \`cd -- ... && pwd\` form
in the --tauri legacy comparison can echo a CDPATH-prefixed path when the
user has CDPATH set in their environment, contaminating the resolved
absolute path used in the legacy-equality check.
Switch to \`CDPATH= cd -P -- ... && pwd -P\` so:
- CDPATH= clears the cd-prefix-echo behavior
- -P / pwd -P resolves any symlinks to a canonical path
No behavior change for users without CDPATH set; correctness fix for
users who have it set in their shell.
* install + llama_cpp backend: cycle-24 hardening
Three real findings from cycle 24 reviewers:
1. install.sh:231 + studio/setup.sh:413 -- main \$STUDIO_HOME
resolvers used the same bare \`cd -- ... && pwd\` form that cycle 23
only fixed for the --tauri guard. Switch both to:
\$(CDPATH= cd -P -- "\$override" && pwd -P)
so relative custom-root values don't get CDPATH-prefixed or have
the cd-on-CDPATH stdout newline contaminate the captured value.
2. install.sh --tauri legacy root used logical \$HOME/.unsloth/studio
while the override side was canonicalized via pwd -P. A symlinked
\$HOME (e.g. /home/alice -> /u/alice) made the comparison fail even
when both sides pointed at the same directory. Canonicalize the
legacy side too when the dir exists.
3. studio/backend/core/inference/llama_cpp.py:_find_llama_server_binary
searched \$STUDIO_HOME/llama.cpp first then ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp
in default-mode installs. setup.sh / setup.ps1 only install llama.cpp
under \$STUDIO_HOME/llama.cpp in env-override mode; in default mode
it always lives at ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp. The post-PR search would
pick up a stale partial install at ~/.unsloth/studio/llama.cpp over
the real legacy binary.
Mirror setup's legacy-equality check: when studio_root() resolves
equal to ~/.unsloth/studio, search ONLY the legacy ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp.
Otherwise (env-override custom root), search custom first, legacy
fallback.
* install + setup: canonicalize legacy-equality comparison sites
Cycle 24 made \$STUDIO_HOME canonical via 'CDPATH= cd -P -- ... && pwd -P',
but the legacy-equality comparison sites still used the bare logical
"\$HOME/.unsloth/studio" string. With a symlinked \$HOME (e.g.
/home/alice -> /u/alice), the comparison fails even when both sides
point at the same dir, and llama.cpp ends up under a custom-root path
the Python backend's legacy comparison cannot find.
Reviewer cycle 25 inst 2 reproduced this with HOME=/tmp/link -> /tmp/real
and UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=\$HOME/.unsloth/studio: setup.sh resolves
UNSLOTH_HOME to /tmp/real/.unsloth/studio while the backend search
resolves both physically equal and looks at /tmp/link/.unsloth/llama.cpp.
Canonicalize the legacy side at all four sites:
- install.sh:695 (create_studio_shortcuts llama.cpp path)
- studio/setup.sh:577 (UNSLOTH_HOME selection)
- install.ps1:462 (launcher UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH path)
- studio/setup.ps1:1829 (UnslothHome selection)
Apply CDPATH= cd -P -- ... && pwd -P (Unix) or Resolve-Path -LiteralPath
(Windows) when the legacy dir exists. unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py
already does this via Path.resolve().
* llama_cpp: gate _kill_orphaned_servers studio-root allowlist on env-override
Cycle 24 fixed _find_llama_server_binary to only search
\$STUDIO_HOME/llama.cpp when STUDIO_HOME is a real env override (not
the legacy default), but the symmetric _kill_orphaned_servers
allowlist still appended _sr() / "llama.cpp" unconditionally.
In default mode _sr() resolves to ~/.unsloth/studio, so
~/.unsloth/studio/llama.cpp would be treated as a Studio-owned install
root for the orphan-kill scan even though the default installer does
not own that path. A llama-server process running there from a
different tool or a stale partial install would be killed.
Apply the same legacy-equality check used in _find_llama_server_binary
and the install/setup scripts: only add _sr()/"llama.cpp" to the
allowlist when STUDIO_HOME != legacy default.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* setup.sh + setup.ps1: canonicalize both sides of legacy-equality check
Proactive audit pass found one real asymmetry the cycle-by-cycle
review process had not yet flagged:
- install.sh:704 / install.ps1:469 are gated on env-mode and only
run when STUDIO_HOME has already been canonicalized (cycle 24).
Symmetric.
- studio/setup.sh:577 / studio/setup.ps1:1829 run UNCONDITIONALLY,
including in default mode. In default mode STUDIO_HOME is set to
the bare logical \$HOME/.unsloth/studio (setup.sh:416) or
Join-Path \$env:USERPROFILE ".unsloth\\studio" (setup.ps1:1480).
Cycle 25 canonicalized only the legacy side, creating an
asymmetry under symlinked \$HOME / junctioned %USERPROFILE%.
Result of the asymmetry: a default-mode install on a host with
\$HOME=/tmp/link -> /tmp/real treats the legacy default as a custom
root, putting llama.cpp at \$STUDIO_HOME/llama.cpp instead of
~/.unsloth/llama.cpp -- and the Python backend's _find_llama_server_binary
(which uses .resolve() on both sides) then can't find the install.
Fix: canonicalize STUDIO_HOME on the fly at the comparison site, in
both setup.sh and setup.ps1. Symmetric with the now-canonicalized
legacy side from cycle 25, regardless of which mode set STUDIO_HOME.
The other two comparison sites (install.sh:704, install.ps1:469) are
already symmetric because they only run when STUDIO_HOME comes from
the env-override resolution path that already does pwd -P / Resolve-Path.
unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py + studio/backend/run.py + main.py +
llama_cpp.py already use .resolve() on both sides -- symmetric.
* install.ps1: env-override resolution uses .NET API for literal paths
Gemini code-review (review 4177641398, commit 2ea2c91) caught two
remaining New-Item -Path sites in the env-override resolution block
that the cycle 18 sweep missed:
- Line 123: New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path \$envOverride
- Line 132: New-Item -ItemType File -Path \$probe (writability test)
Both use -Path which interprets square brackets as wildcards. For a
user with UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=C:\\workspaces\\studio[abc], both calls
would fail before the install starts. New-Item also has no
-LiteralPath in PowerShell 5.1.
Replace both with the .NET API:
- [System.IO.Directory]::CreateDirectory(\$envOverride)
- [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText(\$probe, "") -- closes the file
handle before the Remove-Item below.
End-to-end verified with /tmp/test-envoverride-[abc]-* path:
CreateDirectory + WriteAllText + Test-Path -LiteralPath all work.

* install.ps1: use 'return' over 'exit 1' for Install-UnslothStudio bail-outs
Per Gemini review #4177659001: when users run install.ps1 via
'irm ... | iex', 'exit 1' inside the function terminates the entire
PowerShell process and closes the user's terminal. 'return' bails out
of the function while keeping the shell open, matching existing error
sites at lines 34, 50, 57.
Three sites fixed: --tauri+env-override guard, env-override mkdir/access
failure, and write-probe failure. The 'exit' calls at lines 591/611
are inside a generated launcher here-string (a separate top-level .ps1
that runs as its own process), so they correctly stay as 'exit'.
* install.{sh,ps1}: address Gemini review #4177680451
Three medium fixes:
1. install.sh redirection detection: canonicalize both sides of the
$HOME vs passwd-DB comparison via 'CDPATH= cd -P -- ... && pwd -P'
so a trailing slash on $HOME (or symlink-vs-realpath mismatch with
getent/dscl output) doesn't misfire the redirection branch.
2. install.sh shim symlink: 'ln -sf' into an existing directory creates
the link INSIDE it ($_LOCAL_BIN/unsloth/unsloth instead of the
intended file). Pre-strip a real (non-symlink) directory at
$_LOCAL_BIN/unsloth before linking.
3. install.ps1 ShimExe: add -Recurse to Remove-Item so the launcher
refresh recovers if $ShimExe somehow exists as a directory rather
than a file (would otherwise drop into the catch and skip the
shim update).
* install.ps1: use 'throw' over 'return' for fatal validation failures
Cycle 28 reviewer.py (12/8 RC/APPROVE) caught a regression introduced
by the previous Gemini-review fix (#4177659001 -> commit 393e676b).
'return' inside Install-UnslothStudio kept iex'd terminals alive but
made 'pwsh -File install.ps1' exit with code 0 on fatal validation
failures (--tauri+custom-root rejected, STUDIO_HOME unwritable, etc.),
so CI / wrapper scripts treated failed installs as successful.
'throw' satisfies both constraints:
- pwsh -File install.ps1: exits with code 1 (CI sees failure)
- irm | iex: shows error to user, does NOT close the host terminal
Three sites: --tauri+env-override guard, mkdir/access failure,
write-probe failure. Verified throw -> exit code 1 under pwsh -File.
* install.ps1 launcher: single-quote child -Command path
Cycle 28 P2 finding: the generated launch-studio.ps1 builds the child
PowerShell -Command string with the executable path inside double
quotes, so a custom Studio root containing PowerShell metacharacters
(\$, backtick) re-expands in the child shell. Example:
D:\work\\\$job\studio -> child reparses \$job and runs the wrong path.
Fix: single-quote the path inside the child command and double any
apostrophes (PowerShell's literal-quote-escape form) so paths like
"O'Brien Studio & x|y" or "C:\work\\\$bad\studio" survive verbatim.
* install: harden custom Studio root handling
- install.sh shim refresh: refuse to recursively delete a real directory
at $_LOCAL_BIN/unsloth before creating the symlink. The previous rm -rf
could destroy unrelated user data living at that path.
- install.ps1 shim refresh: drop -Recurse from Remove-Item on $ShimExe and
refuse early when the shim path is a directory; mirrors the install.sh
guard so a directory at $StudioHome\bin\unsloth.exe is not blown away.
- install.ps1 PATH wiring: remove the redundant first $ShimDir prepend in
env-override mode; the post-Refresh-SessionPath prepend is the one that
takes effect, and the duplicate left $ShimDir in $env:Path twice.
- install.ps1 manual launch instructions: single-quote the printed shim
and Activate.ps1 paths so '$' / backtick metacharacters in custom roots
do not reparse when the user copies and pastes the command.
- studio/setup.sh: validate writability of UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME with the
same [ -w ] check install.sh already has, so a read-only override fails
with a clear message instead of an obscure uv pip permission error.
- Drop the STUDIO_HOME alias everywhere (storage_roots.py, studio.py,
install.sh, studio/setup.sh, install.ps1, studio/setup.ps1). The name
is too generic and an ambient STUDIO_HOME from unrelated tooling could
silently redirect the install. Only UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME is honored.
- unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py: defer UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME / UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH
re-export from import time into a helper invoked by the studio app
callback. Importing the module no longer mutates os.environ as a side
effect, so test runners and CLI introspection stop leaking those vars
into unrelated subprocesses.
- studio/backend/core/inference/llama_cpp.py: replace set-mutation inside
list comprehension with an explicit dedup loop for readability.
* install: harden custom Studio root edge cases
- install.ps1 shim refresh: move the directory-collision preflight outside
the lock-handling try/catch. The previous throw inside the try block was
swallowed by the surrounding catch and downgraded to a "Continuing with
the existing launcher" warning, leaving the install in a broken state
with no usable shim on disk.
- storage_roots.py / unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py: tighten the bin-shim
sentinel from .exists() to .is_file(). A directory at the candidate
bin/unsloth (or bin/unsloth.exe) path would otherwise false-positive
the venv inference and pick the wrong Studio root.
- storage_roots.py / unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py: wrap the env-var
override Path(...).expanduser().resolve() in try/except (OSError, ValueError),
matching the defensive pattern already used in studio/backend/main.py
and studio/backend/run.py. An invalid override (unresolvable network
drive, bad characters) now falls back to the un-resolved path instead
of crashing at import time.
* install: fail fast on missing custom root, allow brackets in shim path
- install.ps1 shim hardlink: switch the New-Item -ItemType HardLink call
from -Path to -LiteralPath so a custom Studio root containing bracket
characters does not fail under PowerShell's wildcard-aware -Path
parameter. Matches the -LiteralPath usage on every other Test-Path /
Remove-Item / Copy-Item call against the same shim path.
- studio/setup.sh override branch: replace the silent mkdir -p of the
override directory with an existence check that exits 1 with a clear
message. setup.sh runs against an existing install (via 'unsloth
studio update'), so a typo in UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME must not materialize
an empty workspace dir. Brings the Unix flow in line with setup.ps1,
which already errors on a missing override root.
* llama_cpp: scope orphan-server kill to the active install root
_kill_orphaned_servers used to unconditionally include the legacy
~/.unsloth/llama.cpp tree in install_roots, even when the running
Studio is in env-override mode and operates out of a custom root.
On a single OS user running both a default-install Studio and a
custom-root Studio concurrently, the custom Studio would kill the
default Studio's llama-server during startup orphan cleanup.
Hoist _is_custom_root out of the import try/catch so the legacy-
append decision sees it (default to False on ImportError so default
mode behaviour is unchanged), and gate the legacy ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp
append on `not _is_custom_root`.
* install: harden custom-root .venv migration and shim hardlink
- install.sh / install.ps1 OLD-layout .venv migration: gate on
default-mode only. Without the guard, pointing UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME at a
workspace that already has .venv (e.g. an unrelated Python project)
caused the torch validation to fail and the installer to recursively
remove the user's project venv. Mirrors the existing env-mode skip on
the CWD-relative venv migration immediately below.
- install.ps1 shim hardlink: revert to New-Item -ItemType HardLink -Path.
-LiteralPath is not accepted on the HardLink ItemType in any PowerShell
version, so the previous form always threw and silently fell back to
Copy-Item, breaking hardlink-update propagation. Bracket characters in
$ShimExe are still defended by the directory-collision preflight added
earlier.
- storage_roots.py / unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py: strip whitespace
from the UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME env var before the truthy check so a
blank " " override does not become a real path with trailing spaces
(which would silently break every downstream Studio path operation).
* Studio paths: tolerate stat / resolve failures during root inference
- storage_roots._infer_studio_home_from_venv: wrap the share/studio.conf
and bin/shim is_file() sentinel checks in try/except OSError. A
PermissionError on a restricted candidate dir would otherwise propagate
out of studio_root() and crash module import in run.py / main.py /
transformers_version.py / model_config.py at server startup.
- llama_cpp._kill_orphaned_servers: broaden the studio_root() guard from
ImportError-only to (ImportError, OSError, ValueError) so transient
resolve / sentinel failures do not crash the orphan-killer at server
startup. Matches _find_llama_server_binary's existing pattern.
- llama_cpp._find_llama_server_binary: nest the inner resolve() in its
own try/except and fall back to unresolved-path comparison instead of
dropping the custom search root entirely. A transient resolve() error
on the legacy path no longer loses the custom-root llama.cpp lookup.
* Add Studio install-root resilience tests
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Studio: isolate custom-root installs from default-install state
- llama.cpp discovery in env-override mode no longer falls back to the
legacy ~/.unsloth/llama.cpp tree. The orphan-cleanup path already
excludes that root in custom mode; aligning discovery prevents a
custom-root Studio from launching a sibling install's binary it then
refuses to manage. Users who want a shared build set
UNSLOTH_LLAMA_CPP_PATH explicitly.
- Generated POSIX launcher (install.sh heredoc) namespaces LOCK_DIR with
a hash of DATA_DIR and persists the launched port to
$DATA_DIR/studio.port; in env-override mode the fast-path attaches only
to a port we ourselves wrote, never to a sibling Studio that happens
to be healthy on 8888..8908.
- Generated Windows launcher (install.ps1 heredoc) bakes a per-install
$portFile and SHA-256-suffixed mutex name, mirroring the POSIX side;
Find-HealthyStudioPort uses the port file in env-override mode.
- studio/setup.sh and studio/setup.ps1 require an .unsloth-studio-owned
marker before deleting $STUDIO_HOME/.venv_t5*, $STUDIO_HOME/llama.cpp,
and the sidecar T5 venvs in env-override mode. The marker is dropped
after fresh creation so subsequent runs of 'unsloth studio update'
proceed cleanly. Mirrors the existing .venv guard in install.sh.
- Wrap bare Path.resolve() calls on the legacy STUDIO_HOME constant in
studio/backend/main.py, studio/backend/run.py, and
unsloth_cli/commands/studio.py in the same try/except (OSError,
ValueError) used adjacently, so a restricted parent or recursive
symlink on $HOME does not crash module import / CLI startup.
* Studio: guard env-mode workspace against destructive cleanup
- install.sh and install.ps1 unconditionally rm -rf / Remove-Item the
new-layout $STUDIO_HOME/unsloth_studio when it has a python; in
env-override mode that path is a user-chosen workspace, mirroring
the .venv migration concern the .venv branch already guards. Refuse
to remove an existing $STUDIO_HOME/unsloth_studio that lacks Studio
sentinels (share/studio.conf or bin/unsloth).
- studio/setup.ps1 only checked Test-Path -PathType Container on the
custom root; setup.sh and install.ps1 both also write-probe via
WriteAllText / Remove-Item. Add the matching probe so 'unsloth
studio update' against an ACL-restricted root fails fast with a
clear message instead of erroring later while creating sidecar
venvs.
* Add Studio install/setup workspace-isolation tests
* Studio: tighten installer rationale comments
- install.sh: collapse a 5-line restatement into 3 lines, naming
env-mode behavior up front and the byte-identical pre-override
fallback after.
- install.ps1: correct misleading hardlink comment that claimed the
directory-collision preflight guards against wildcard expansion;
bracket characters in $ShimExe still glob-expand here, with the
Copy-Item -LiteralPath fallback handling them.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* Split: keep only 2 file(s)
* Studio: harden env-mode workspace guards across installers and update path
Tightens the UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME custom-root protections so destructive
installer paths cannot displace unrelated user data when the override
points at a workspace.
install.sh / install.ps1: env-mode sentinel that gates rm -rf $VENV_DIR /
Remove-Item $VenvDir now requires share/studio.conf or the bin/unsloth(.exe)
shim to be a real file or symlink. Previously a directory at bin/unsloth or
bin\unsloth.exe satisfied the check (-e and bare Test-Path accept any path
type), so a workspace with unrelated content under unsloth_studio plus a
sibling directory at bin/unsloth could be wiped.
studio/setup.ps1: stale-venv rebuild branch now mirrors install.ps1's
env-mode guard before Remove-Item -LiteralPath $VenvDir -Recurse -Force.
Without this, "unsloth studio update" pointed at a custom workspace whose
unsloth_studio venv fails torch validation deletes the venv even when the
root carries no Studio sentinels.
studio/setup.sh / studio/setup.ps1: prebuilt llama.cpp install path now
calls _assert_studio_owned_or_absent / Assert-StudioOwnedOrAbsent before
invoking install_llama_prebuilt.py, and writes the .unsloth-studio-owned
marker on success. install_llama_prebuilt.py uses os.replace() to move
any existing install_dir aside before staging, so an unrelated
$STUDIO_HOME/llama.cpp could otherwise be displaced before the existing
source-build ownership guard ever ran.
* Studio: gate ownership guards on canonical custom-root and add venv marker
Tightens UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME ownership semantics so they fire only for a
genuinely custom root, never for an explicit override that resolves to the
legacy default. Adds an in-VENV marker that lets a partial install be
repaired and provides a strong primary sentinel for the deletion guard.
studio/setup.sh + studio/setup.ps1: hoist the canonical $STUDIO_HOME vs
legacy-default comparison so it sits next to the marker definition, derive
_STUDIO_HOME_IS_CUSTOM / $StudioHomeIsCustom once, and gate the
_assert_studio_owned_or_absent / Assert-StudioOwnedOrAbsent helpers and the
prebuilt llama.cpp marker writes on that flag instead of raw env-var
presence. UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=$HOME/.unsloth/studio (legacy override) no
longer trips the guard for pre-PR T5 sidecar venvs or llama.cpp dirs that
predate the .unsloth-studio-owned marker. The duplicate canonical block
inside the llama.cpp section is removed; the new flag is reused.
studio/setup.ps1: Assert-StudioOwnedOrAbsent's marker check now requires
-PathType Leaf so a directory at .unsloth-studio-owned cannot satisfy it.
The in-place git-sync branch in the source-build path now calls
Mark-StudioOwned after a successful sync so a later prebuilt-update path
does not fail Assert-StudioOwnedOrAbsent on the same root.
install.sh + install.ps1: write $VENV_DIR/.unsloth-studio-owned right after
uv venv succeeds and accept it as the primary sentinel in the env-mode
deletion guard. This recovers from a partial install that was previously
unrepairable, and is a stronger sentinel than sibling shim files (the
marker is inside the venv that is about to be wiped, so an unrelated
workspace cannot accidentally satisfy it).
install.sh: drop the standalone -L test on $STUDIO_HOME/bin/unsloth in the
deletion guard. -L returns true for any symlink including symlinks to
directories and broken symlinks; -f already accepts the legitimate
file-targeted symlink shape created by ln -s at install.sh:1864.
* Studio: close residual workspace-isolation gaps for custom roots
Four follow-on hardenings that close the remaining cross-root leaks the
custom-root install plumbing still left open.
studio/setup.ps1 in-place git-sync: when the source-build path finds an
existing $LlamaCppDir/.git, it ran git remote set-url, checkout -B, and
clean -fdx in place before any ownership check. The previous fix marked
the tree as Studio-owned AFTER the sync but did not guard the BEFORE
case, so an unrelated workspace .git could be silently rewritten on the
first source-build under a custom UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME. Add the same
Assert-StudioOwnedOrAbsent guard already used by the prebuilt path and
the temp-dir swap path (gated on $StudioHomeIsCustom for parity).
Launcher port-file workspace isolation: the env-mode launchers' fast
path attached to any backend listening on the cached port that returned
a healthy /api/health, even when that backend belonged to a different
install root. studio/backend/main.py /api/health now returns the
resolved studio_root; install.sh _check_health and install.ps1
Test-StudioHealth verify it against UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME when set, so a
stale studio.port pointing at a sibling Studio is rejected instead of
opening the wrong UI.
studio/src-tauri preflight + commands: the Tauri desktop app stays on
the legacy root by design. process.rs / install.rs / desktop_auth.rs /
update.rs already strip UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME and STUDIO_HOME from their
CLI subprocesses, but preflight.rs run_cli_probe / probe_cli_capability
and commands.rs check_install_status did not, so a desktop launch from
a shell carrying those env vars produced status reflecting a different
root than the desktop manages. Mirror the existing scrub.
install.sh shim install: the previous `rm -f -- $_shim_path; ln -s ...`
pair leaves a window with no shim if interrupted. Use ln -sfn for an
atomic replace; the -n flag prevents descent into a symlink-to-directory
target (the existing directory guard above already rejects a real dir).
* Studio: replace launcher root verify with hex digest baked at install time
The previous launcher identity check returned the absolute resolved Studio
install root from /api/health and matched it against $UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME
in the launcher. Three problems that this commit closes:
- POSIX launcher used a raw bash `case` against the JSON-encoded value, so
paths containing characters that JSON escapes (e.g. /tmp/back\slash,
/tmp/O"Brien) caused the launcher to reject its own healthy backend.
- /api/health is unauthenticated and Studio supports `-H 0.0.0.0`, so any
reachable client could read the absolute install path (username, home
dir, workspace name, CI checkout path).
- The verification was gated on $UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME being set at runtime,
so a default-mode launcher would attach to a sibling env-mode Studio
listening on the same port instead of starting its own.
The fix replaces the raw path with a SHA-256 hex digest computed at install
time and baked into the generated launcher (mirroring how @@DATA_DIR@@ is
substituted today):
studio/backend/main.py: /api/health now returns `studio_root_id =
sha256(str(_studio_root()))` instead of the raw `studio_root` path.
install.sh: computes `_css_studio_root_id` once from $STUDIO_HOME using
python3, bakes `_EXPECTED_STUDIO_ROOT_ID='@@STUDIO_ROOT_ID@@'` into the
launcher heredoc, and adds `s|@@STUDIO_ROOT_ID@@|...|g` to the existing
sed pipeline for ALL modes (env / home / default). _check_health verifies
the baked id substring-matches the JSON response. Hex-only so no shell or
sed escape corner cases.
install.ps1: same shape on Windows. SHA256 the $StudioHome bytes, lower
hex, bake `$_ExpectedStudioRootId = '...'` into the launcher heredoc.
Test-StudioHealth now compares `$resp.studio_root_id -eq
$_ExpectedStudioRootId` unconditionally (no special-case for env-mode).
Default-mode launchers also bake their expected id, so two coexisting
Studio installs on the same machine can no longer cross-attach.
* Studio: harden launcher root-id and split install-time mode from runtime env
- install.sh launcher: compute studio_root_id with the venv Python (uv-managed
systems may not have system python3) and canonicalize STUDIO_HOME with
cd -P/pwd -P so default and home-redirect modes match the backend's
Path(sys.prefix).resolve() canonicalization. Fail fast instead of silently
baking an empty discriminator.
- install.sh launcher heredoc: gate PORT_FILE / namespaced LOCK_DIR on a baked
install-time mode flag (@@INSTALLED_IS_ENV_MODE@@) instead of the runtime
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME variable so a sourced custom-root studio.conf cannot flip
a default-mode launcher into env-mode behavior with stale state.
- studio/backend/main.py: cache the studio_root_id digest at module load so
/api/health does not recompute hashlib + filesystem probes on every poll.
- studio/backend/core/inference/llama_cpp.py: widen the studio_root() probe
except clause from ImportError to (ImportError, OSError, ValueError) so it
matches the sibling _kill_orphaned_servers handler and tolerates Path.resolve
failures from broken symlinks or odd codecs.
* Studio: align launcher root-id digest with backend canonicalization
- studio/backend/main.py: hash the already-resolved _STUDIO_ROOT_RESOLVED
instead of recomputing str(_studio_root()); the default fallback in
storage_roots returns Path.home()/.unsloth/studio without .resolve(), so
on systems where $HOME is a symlink (NFS / AFS / Docker) the cached
digest now matches install.sh's cd -P/pwd -P canonicalization and the
launcher no longer rejects its own healthy backend.
- install.ps1: canonicalize $StudioHome via Resolve-Path before the SHA256
compute (env-mode already resolves at line 121, only default and profile
branches were raw); a junctioned USERPROFILE now produces the same digest
the backend computes via Path.resolve() for the same install.
- install.sh launcher template: substitute the non-user-controlled
@@STUDIO_ROOT_ID@@ and @@INSTALLED_IS_ENV_MODE@@ placeholders before the
user-controlled @@DATA_DIR@@ pass so a $DATA_DIR that contains the
literal placeholder text cannot be mutated by the second sed.
* Studio: tighten installer rationale comments
* Studio install: extend workspace-guard test coverage
Add behavioral coverage for env-mode workspace guards across install.sh,
install.ps1, studio/setup.sh, studio/setup.ps1, the launcher root-id
discriminator, and the backend's /api/health response. Also refresh the
custom-mode llama.cpp resilience assertion so it matches the implementation
that intentionally excludes the legacy tree from search_roots.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* Honor STUDIO_HOME alias, fix workspace-guard test harness, harden rollback
The PR title and description promise STUDIO_HOME as a priority-2 alias
to UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME, but the implementation only read the longer name
in all six resolution sites. Wire the alias through install.sh,
install.ps1, studio/setup.sh, studio/setup.ps1, the Python storage_roots
resolver, and the unsloth_cli studio resolver. UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME wins
when both are set (more specific signal beats the generic alias).
Whitespace-only values are now treated as unset to match the Python
resolvers' .strip() semantics, preventing install/runtime layout drift
where the installer would create a literal " " directory while the
backend fell through to the legacy default.
Error messages and the substep status line report the env-var name the
user actually set ("UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME=..." vs "STUDIO_HOME=...") so
diagnostics stay accurate under either spelling.
Test harness fix: tests/test_studio_install_workspace_guard.py extracted
the install.sh venv-replacement block, but after the merge that block
delegates to _start_studio_venv_replacement (defined further up in
install.sh, not in the extracted snippet). Five sentinel-positive tests
echoed RESULT=ok but never moved $VENV_DIR. Add a single
_INSTALL_GUARD_STUBS constant that stands in a minimal mv-based stub
plus a no-op substep, and route every inline test script through a new
_build_install_guard_script() helper. All 50 tests now pass (was 45/50).
Rollback hardening: Start-StudioVenvRollback / Restore-StudioVenvRollback
/ Complete-StudioVenvRollback in install.ps1 used plain Test-Path,
Move-Item, Remove-Item against paths derived from $StudioHome. With a
custom UNSLOTH_STUDIO_HOME containing brackets (the very motivation for
the broader -LiteralPath sweep this PR set out to do), rollback would
silently misbehave under wildcard interpretation, turning a recoverable
install error into a destroyed env. Same fix for the --local Tauri
overlay block (Test-Path / Copy-Item / Get-FileHash on $VenvDir-derived
paths).
* Replace studio_root_id path-hash with per-install opaque id
The previous design computed studio_root_id as sha256 of the resolved
$STUDIO_HOME path, both at install time (baked into the launcher) and
at backend startup (returned via /api/health). This worked but had
three weaknesses:
1. Information disclosure on -H 0.0.0.0: anyone reaching /api/health
could confirm a guessed install path (username, workspace name,
etc.) by replaying the same hash.
2. Canonicalization brittleness: launcher (cd -P/pwd -P) and backend
(Path.resolve()) had to produce identical strings, which required
careful symlink/junction handling on every site (cycles 17-27 of
the PR review history were entirely about closing this drift).
3. Stale-launcher attach: an uninstall + reinstall at the same path
produced the same hash, so a launcher from the previous install
would silently attach to the new (incompatible) backend.
Replace the path-hash with a per-install opaque id:
- install.sh and install.ps1 generate 32 bytes from the platform CSPRNG
(/dev/urandom on POSIX with a python3 secrets fallback;
RandomNumberGenerator.Create().GetBytes on Windows) and persist it to
$STUDIO_HOME/share/studio_install_id with mode 0600. Atomic
temp-file-rename so a crash mid-install can't leave a half-written id.
The check 'if [ ! -s "$_css_id_file" ]' / Test-Path makes generation
idempotent across re-runs (so re-running install.sh doesn't invalidate
previously-baked launchers in the same install root).
- studio/backend/main.py replaces hashlib.sha256 with
_read_studio_install_id(), which reads $STUDIO_HOME/share/studio_install_id
once at module load. Validates the content against ^[0-9a-f]{64}$ so
malformed/truncated/uppercase/wrong-length content returns "" and
triggers the launcher's existing "no baked id, accept any healthy
Unsloth backend" fallback path.
- /api/health field name (studio_root_id) and wire format (64 hex chars)
preserved for compatibility with launchers already shipped via earlier
PR iterations.
Tests:
- Drop test_install_sh_root_id_matches_backend_resolved_under_symlinked_home
and test_install_ps1_canonicalizes_studio_home_before_root_id_hash --
the entire reason these existed (cd -P/Resolve-Path/Path.resolve()
digest agreement under symlinks/junctions) is moot when the id comes
from a file rather than from the path.
- Drop test_main_py_studio_root_id_hashes_resolved_root_not_unresolved
(no more hashing).
- Rewrite test_main_py_studio_root_id_caches_at_module_load to assert
the file-read pattern; add test_main_py_read_studio_install_id_validates_hex_and_handles_missing
to pin the exact rejection rules (empty / non-hex / wrong case /
wrong length all -> "").
- Rewrite test_install_sh_create_shortcuts_uses_venv_python_first as
test_install_sh_create_shortcuts_seeds_id_from_csprng_with_python_fallback
with a behavioral subprocess check that re-invocation is idempotent.
- Rename test_check_health_handles_path_with_backslash_via_hash to
test_check_health_handles_arbitrary_id_token (the JSON-escape concern
it pinned is preserved -- ids are hex-only by construction -- but the
test no longer derives the id from a path).
- Add test_install_sh_install_id_survives_symlinked_studio_home as a
regression test pinning that the new design has zero canonicalization
drift across symlinked parents.
- Update test_install_sh_bakes_studio_root_id_into_launcher and
test_install_ps1_bakes_studio_root_id_into_launcher to assert the
CSPRNG seed and the file location.
49/49 tests pass. Behavioral verification: install.sh-style generation
is idempotent across runs, three parallel installs at different roots
get distinct ids, reinstall at the same path produces a new id (so
stale launchers correctly fail to attach to the new backend), and
symlinked-\$HOME no longer causes launcher/backend disagreement.
