#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Set up the faster-qwen3-tts backend for the audiobook generator. faster-qwen3-tts is an OpenAI-compatible Qwen3-TTS server with CUDA-graph inference (NVIDIA GPU required). It always uses voice cloning, with the reference voice configured on the server through a ``voices.json``. This module sets the whole backend up end-to-end as a TUI: pip-install the package into its own managed venv (``app/envs/faster`` — separate from the app venv and from qwen-tts's: both stacks ship a ``qwen_tts`` module whose transformers requirements conflict), clone the repo (for ``examples/openai_server.py``), build a ``voices.json`` from a directory of .wav references (transcribed with Whisper), sync ``app/converter/config.py``, and print the launch command. It is driven by ``audiobook.py``'s hub but can also be run directly with flags. Usage: python app/backends/faster.py [--wavs WAV_DIR] [--output PATH] [--language LANG] [--whisper-model NAME] [--force] [--voice NAME] [--skip-install] [--skip-clone] When the target ``voices.json`` already exists, the TUI wizard runs as a "modify": it loads the existing voices, pre-fills the language, wav directory and transcription choice from them instead of prompting to overwrite, and writes back to the same file.
