sttSeam is modelSeam for audio and sits at the same place in wireVoice, so
the voice path and the meeting recorder share one transcriber as they
always have.
A box with no workstation.stt block behaves byte-for-byte as it did before
this existed: the floor is handed back untouched and nothing probes. An
empty URL is normalised to no block at all, the way the model block already
works.
Health defaults to the URL's origin rather than the URL itself, because the
transcribe endpoint names a path and appending would ask for
/transcribe/health. A block with no token logs once that anything on the
LAN can post audio to that port.

Same arrangement as llm.Pair and for the same reason. The microphone is at
workpc, the card there has 16GB, and CrisperWhisper 2.0 turbo scores 10.4%
WER in Russian against 27.5% for the ggml-small.bin homesrv loads. The
workstation is never assumed up: it sleeps, and the card is often held.
Admission is a cached atomic written only by the prober, so no voice turn
ever waits on a machine that may be asleep.
Speech-to-text has only the silent half of the degradation rule. A worse
transcript is still a turn, so there is nothing to name a gap about and
Transcribe always falls back. That is the whole difference from llm.Pair,
which also carries CompleteRemote for callers that must refuse instead. A
remote that dies mid-request corrects the cache and falls back in the same
turn, which is what TestPairFallsBackWhenRemoteFails pins.

mavsttd is whisper.cpp linked into a Go daemon and reached over a unix
socket. CrisperWhisper 2.0 cannot be reached that way. whisper.cpp derives
its language count from the vocabulary size, and CW2's 51897 tokens shift
seven special token ids, so it never loads at all.
So it runs under transformers on workpc and this is the client. Same
stt.Transcriber interface and one method, a second transport rather than a
second seam. The body is the PCM itself, because a minute of 16kHz mono is
under 2MB raw and the format is fixed by audio.PCM16kMono.
Audio is the most sensitive thing that crosses this seam, so the client
carries a bearer token.
