B.D. Murphy 2ea2b7c065 Add scripts/commit_check.sh weekly commit-cadence guard
Mechanical nudge for the policy in AGENTS.md -> "Commit Cadence": it measures
how long the working tree has been dirty (oldest mtime among staged, unstaged
and untracked files) and exits 1 once that exceeds --days (default 7).

- Ignores submodule working-tree dirt (separate repo); still surfaces a moved
  submodule pointer.
- Reports dirty age, last edit, last commit; prints a reminder block.
- --quiet silences the clean case only; --help documents exit codes.
- Bash 3.2 compatible (macOS /bin/bash); no external deps.
- Verified: clean/dirty/old-dirt/threshold/bad-args/quiet all behave.

Also cross-reference it from AGENTS.md and README.md.

UmbraAudio

Quality-first multi-pass audiobook generation from English manuscripts.

Features

  • 5-pass pipeline: Analysis → Voice Design → Mapping → Test → Generate
  • Multi-engine TTS: Chatterbox (primary), Qwen3-TTS (secondary)
  • LLM-enhanced: BookNLP for NLP, LLM for profiling/emotion/pronunciation
  • Web review: FastAPI + HTMX at checkpoints for human approval

Quick Start

python -m umbraaudio.cli init <manuscript.epub> --name 'My Book'
python -m umbraaudio.cli analyze
python -m umbraaudio.cli voices
python -m umbraaudio.cli review

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+
  • NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support (RTX 3060 or better recommended)
  • ffmpeg

Development

pip install -e ".[dev]"
ruff check umbraaudio/
pytest tests/ -v

Commit cadence: commit at least once every Sunday. Never leave a week (let alone a month) of work uncommitted — a single accidental git checkout on 2026-09-20 wiped out a month of changes to umbraaudio/web/routes.py. See AGENTS.md → Commit Cadence.

scripts/commit_check.sh enforces the nudge: it exits non-zero once the tree has been dirty longer than a week.

scripts/commit_check.sh            # warn if dirty > 7 days
scripts/commit_check.sh --days 3   # tighter threshold

Rebuilding from source

The repo tracks source only; large runtime data is reconstructed as needed.

  1. Models: weights are not committed (see .gitignore). Download them:

    bash scripts/download_models.sh   # ~9 GB, targets ./models
    
  2. Qwen3-TTS is a git submodule pinned to upstream commit 022e286:

    git submodule update --init --recursive
    

    The tts_server/web-demo backend includes a local UI customization to qwen_tts/cli/demo.py. It is preserved as a patch — reapply it after checking out the submodule:

    cd Qwen3-TTS && git apply ../scripts/qwen3_tts_demo_umbra_patch.patch
    
  3. Environment: copy/keep .env (contains secrets) and set UMBRA_TTS__* model paths under models/.

Book projects (e.g. DealHunterShip_...) are committed separately under their own project directories and are not part of this program repository.
