CI failure root cause: the full suite reloads services modules, so the new tests patched a different SubprocessBackend class than the engine inherited, accidentally launching a real model. Tests now invoke the actual child handler, with no base-class patch. Also addressed the P1 containment finding by moving reference ASR into that child under its existing watchdog. A real subprocess regression proves hung ASR is killed and the next request recovers. Latest focused validation: 76 tests pass offline with an empty HF cache. Full CI rerun is pending; this is not yet claimed green. |

Review triage: the parity warning points to pre-existing OmniVoice MPS routing, not a routing change in this PR. The explicit subprocess backend remains available on every supported OS and executes this identical child handler; short-reference installed-ASR reuse now matches the existing in-process behavior. I am not removing MPS crash containment or changing the default engine architecture as part of this reference-transcript fix. The docstring percentage mostly counts nested test doubles; the production handler and regression purpose are documented. The concrete P1 native-ASR containment finding is fixed and covered by child death plus successful retry. |

Integration note: both #2362 and #2363 now point to the same combined, history-preserving commit. New review findings are fixed on both branches. Once reviewed and fully green, merge this head with a merge commit so both PR histories land together. Fixes #2358. #2320 remains related rather than automatically closed until the original path is confirmed. |

Summary
Related to #2320; not auto-closing until the original reporter confirms the same path.
Missing/blank short-reference transcripts now use the installed-only catalogue recognizer inside the OmniVoice sidecar, before TTS loads. Recognition shares the existing killable process and synthesis watchdog. Supplied transcripts and installed-only model fallback are preserved; long-reference passage selection is unchanged. No implicit downloads or new dependencies.
Regression coverage
Validation
The OmniVoice sidecar now uses installed ASR for short references when transcripts are missing or blank, and releases ASR resources before TTS loads. Electron can select a fallback loopback port when the managed backend cannot bind its default port; supplied transcripts and explicitly configured ports remain unchanged, and the change adds no implicit downloads. Review the subprocess timeout and fallback-port behavior before merge; fresh CI status is not established here.
