 # PolyScribe
 
-PolyScribe is a fast, local-first CLI for transcribing audio/video and merging existing JSON transcripts. It uses whisper-rs under the hood, can discover and download Whisper models automatically, and supports CPU and optional GPU backends (CUDA, ROCm/HIP, Vulkan).
+Local-first transcription and plugins.
 
-Key features
-- Transcribe audio and common video files using ffmpeg for audio extraction.
-- Merge multiple JSON transcripts, or merge and also keep per-file outputs.
-- Model management: interactive downloader and non-interactive updater with hash verification.
-- GPU backend selection at runtime; auto-detects available accelerators.
-- Clean outputs (JSON and SRT), speaker naming prompts, and useful logging controls.
+## Features
 
-Prerequisites
-- Rust toolchain (rustup recommended)
-- ffmpeg available on PATH
-- Optional for GPU acceleration at runtime: CUDA, ROCm/HIP, or Vulkan drivers (match your build features)
+- **Local-first**: Works offline with downloaded models
+- **Multiple backends**: CPU, CUDA, ROCm/HIP, and Vulkan support
+- **Plugin system**: Extensible via JSON-RPC plugins
+- **Model management**: Automatic download and verification of Whisper models
+- **Manifest caching**: Local cache for Hugging Face model manifests to reduce network requests
 
-Installation
-- Build from source (CPU-only by default):
-  - rustup install stable
-  - rustup default stable
-  - cargo build --release
-- Binary path: ./target/release/polyscribe
-- GPU builds (optional): build with features
-  - CUDA: cargo build --release --features gpu-cuda
-  - HIP: cargo build --release --features gpu-hip
-  - Vulkan: cargo build --release --features gpu-vulkan
+## Model Management
 
-Quickstart
-1) Download a model (first run can prompt you):
-- ./target/release/polyscribe --download-models
+PolyScribe automatically manages Whisper models from Hugging Face:
 
-2) Transcribe a file:
-- ./target/release/polyscribe -v -o output --out-format json --jobs 4 my_audio.mp3
-This writes JSON (because of --out-format json) into the output directory with a date prefix. Omit --out-format to write all available formats (JSON and SRT). For large batches, add --continue-on-error to skip bad files and keep going.
+```bash
+# Download models interactively
+polyscribe models download
 
-Gotchas
-- English-only models: If you picked an English-only Whisper model (e.g., tiny.en, base.en), non-English language hints (via --language) will be rejected and detection may be biased toward English. Use a multilingual model (without the .en suffix) for non-English audio.
-- Language hints help: When you know the language, pass --language <code> (e.g., --language de) to improve accuracy and speed. If the audio is mixed language, omit the hint to let the model detect.
+# Update existing models
+polyscribe models update
 
-Shell completions and man page
-- Completions: ./target/release/polyscribe completions <bash|zsh|fish|powershell|elvish> > polyscribe.<ext>
-  - Then install into your shell’s completion directory.
-- Man page: ./target/release/polyscribe man > polyscribe.1 (then copy to your manpath)
+# Clear manifest cache (force fresh fetch)
+polyscribe models clear-cache
+```
 
-Model locations
-- Development (debug builds): ./models next to the project.
-- Packaged/release builds: $XDG_DATA_HOME/polyscribe/models or ~/.local/share/polyscribe/models.
-- Override via env var: POLYSCRIBE_MODELS_DIR=/path/to/models.
-- Force a specific model file via env var: WHISPER_MODEL=/path/to/model.bin.
+### Manifest Caching
 
-Most-used CLI flags
-- -o, --output FILE_OR_DIR: Output path base (date prefix added). If omitted, JSON prints to stdout.
-- --out-format <json|toml|srt|all>: Which on-disk format(s) to write; repeatable; default all. Example: --out-format json --out-format srt
-- -m, --merge: Merge all inputs into one output; otherwise one output per input.
-- --merge-and-separate: Write both merged output and separate per-input outputs (requires -o dir).
-- --set-speaker-names: Prompt for a speaker label per input file.
-- --update-models: Verify/update local models by size/hash against the upstream manifest.
-- --download-models: Interactive model list + multi-select download.
-- --language LANG: Language code hint (e.g., en, de). English-only models reject non-en hints.
-- --gpu-backend [auto|cpu|cuda|hip|vulkan]: Select backend (auto by default).
-- --gpu-layers N: Offload N layers to GPU when supported.
-- -v/--verbose (repeatable): Increase log verbosity. -vv shows very detailed logs.
-- -q/--quiet: Suppress non-error logs (stderr); does not silence stdout results.
-- --no-interaction: Never prompt; suitable for CI.
-- --no-progress: Disable progress bars (also honors NO_PROGRESS=1). Progress bars render on stderr only and auto-disable when not a TTY.
+The Hugging Face model manifest is cached locally to avoid repeated network requests:
 
-Minimal usage examples
-- Transcribe an audio file to JSON/SRT:
-  - ./target/release/polyscribe -o output samples/podcast_clip.mp3
-- Merge multiple transcripts into one:
-  - ./target/release/polyscribe -m -o output merged input/a.json input/b.json
-- Update local models non-interactively (good for CI):
-  - ./target/release/polyscribe --update-models --no-interaction -q
+- **Default TTL**: 24 hours
+- **Cache location**: `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/polyscribe/manifest/` (or platform equivalent)
+- **Environment variables**:
+  - `POLYSCRIBE_NO_CACHE_MANIFEST=1`: Disable caching
+  - `POLYSCRIBE_MANIFEST_TTL_SECONDS=3600`: Set custom TTL (in seconds)

-- For docs-only changes, jobs still build/test to ensure doctests and examples compile when enabled.
-- Mark the CI job named `ci` as a required status check for the default branch in repository branch protection settings.

 Tests
 - Run all tests:

-  - make examples-check
-- What it does:
-  - Iterates over examples/*.sh
-  - Forces execution with --no-interaction and -q via a wrapper
-  - Uses a stubbed BIN that performs no network access and exits successfully
-  - Redirects stdin from /dev/null to ensure no prompts
-- This is intended for CI smoke checks and local verification; it does not actually download models or transcribe audio.
