Description
Summary
agent-cli server whisper now serves multiple ASR backends (faster-whisper, MLX, transformers, NeMo/Parakeet), so the command name is increasingly misleading.
Proposal
Introduce agent-cli server asr as the canonical command and keep agent-cli server whisper as a temporary backward-compatible alias.
Suggested migration plan
- Add
server asrcommand entrypoint (same behavior/options as currentserver whisper). - Keep
server whisperas alias for at least one release cycle. - Show a deprecation warning when
server whisperis used. - Update docs/examples/help text to prefer
server asr. - Update daemon/service docs naming where appropriate.
- Remove alias in a later major/minor release (announce in release notes).
Why staged migration
A hard rename would be breaking and high-churn:
- many references in docs/tests/CLI examples
- daemon/service naming currently uses
whisper
A staged approach gives users time to migrate safely.
Acceptance criteria
agent-cli server asris fully functional and documented.agent-cli server whisperworks as alias with clear deprecation notice.- Tests cover both command paths during migration window.
