What's New

Podcast Model Registry Integration & Credential Passthrough

Episode and speaker profiles now use the model registry instead of loose provider/model strings. This enables automatic credential passthrough to podcast-creator and brings podcasts in line with the rest of the system.

  • Episode profiles use outline_llm / transcript_llm (model registry references) instead of provider/model strings
  • Speaker profiles use voice_model (model registry reference) instead of tts_provider/tts_model strings
  • Credentials are automatically resolved and passed to podcast-creator
  • New language field on episode profiles (BCP 47 locale codes like pt-BR, en-US)
  • Per-speaker voice model override support
  • Data migration auto-converts legacy profiles on startup (idempotent)
  • New GET /api/languages endpoint
  • Profile forms use ModelSelector component instead of manual provider/model dropdowns
  • "Templates" tab renamed to "Profiles"
  • "Setup required" badge on profiles missing model configuration
  • i18n updated across all 8 locales
  • Added pycountry and babel dependencies

Closes #486, closes #552

Chat: Remove 50-source cap

Notebook chat context no longer has a hard limit of 50 sources. All sources in a notebook are now available for context. (#628)

Docker: Pin SurrealDB version

Pin SurrealDB to a specific version in Docker Compose to prevent breaking changes from upstream updates. Also fixes single-container documentation. (#629)

UI: Fix CJK text orientation

Correct text orientation for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters in the collapsible column component. (#619)

Other

  • docs: add missing SURREAL_NAMESPACE and SURREAL_DATABASE env vars
  • chore(deps-dev): bump tar from 7.5.7 to 7.5.9 in frontend

Migration

Existing podcast profiles are automatically migrated on first startup. If your profiles used providers with configured credentials, the migration is seamless. Profiles that can't be auto-migrated will show a "Setup required" badge in the UI.
