Greptile SummaryThis PR introduces speech profile sharing — a new end-to-end feature allowing an Omi user to share their voice embedding with another user so that their speech is labelled in that user's transcriptions. It adds a FastAPI router with share/revoke/list endpoints, a Firestore-backed CRUD layer, Redis pub/sub for real-time cache updates in active WebSocket sessions, and a Flutter UI page. While the overall architecture is well-conceived, there are several correctness issues that prevent the feature from working as described:

context not in scope — compile error
_relativeDate is a plain method on _SharedProfileTile (a StatelessWidget). In a StatelessWidget, BuildContext is only available as the parameter to build() — there is no context property on the class itself. Using context.l10n.justNow here will produce a compile-time error: "The getter 'context' isn't defined for the class '_SharedProfileTile'".
The fix is to pass context as a parameter:
| String _relativeDate(DateTime dt) { | |
| final diff = DateTime.now().difference(dt); | |
| if (diff.inDays > 0) return '${diff.inDays}d'; | |
| if (diff.inHours > 0) return '${diff.inHours}h'; | |
| return context.l10n.justNow; | |
| } | |
| String _relativeDate(DateTime dt, BuildContext context) { | |
| final diff = DateTime.now().difference(dt); | |
| if (diff.inDays > 0) return '${diff.inDays}d'; | |
| if (diff.inHours > 0) return '${diff.inHours}h'; | |
| return context.l10n.justNow; | |
| } |
And update the call-site in build:
subtitle: Text(context.l10n.sharedAgo(_relativeDate(profile.createdAt, context))),| if (confirmed != true) return; | ||
| setState(() => _loading = true); | ||
| try { | ||
| await revokeSpeechProfile(recipientUserId: profile.sharerUid); |

The page lists profiles that other users have shared with the current user (the current user is the recipient). The /revoke backend endpoint, however, treats the authenticated user as the sharer (delete_share(sharer_uid=uid, ...)).
Calling revokeSpeechProfile(recipientUserId: profile.sharerUid) means:
- Backend looks for a record where
sharer_uid = currentUserANDrecipient_uid = profile.sharerUid - But the actual Firestore record has
sharer_uid = profile.sharerUidANDrecipient_uid = currentUser
The directions are flipped, so delete_share will never find the record and the backend will always respond with 404 Not Found. The revoke button is completely non-functional.
There are two ways to fix this:
- Add a separate
DELETE /v3/speech-profile/shared/{sharer_uid}endpoint that allows a recipient to remove a share from their list, or - Redesign the UI so the share page is for users managing shares they initiated (making the current user the sharer), which would make the
recipient_user_idsemantically correct.

np.frombuffer returns a read-only array
np.frombuffer wraps the raw bytes buffer without copying, so the resulting array has WRITEABLE = False. The PR description says this eliminates "unnecessary numpy array copies", but if any code in the speaker-ID pipeline normalises or modifies the embedding in-place (e.g. embedding /= np.linalg.norm(embedding) or similar), it will raise ValueError: assignment destination is read-only at runtime.
The .reshape(1, -1) call in transcribe.py line 695 also creates a read-only view, not a writable array. If the downstream speaker comparison code anywhere writes to the array, this will silently break at runtime for shared profiles only (own profiles loaded elsewhere may still be writable).
Either add an explicit .copy() after loading:
| return np.frombuffer(raw, dtype=np.float32) | |
| return np.frombuffer(raw, dtype=np.float32).copy() |
Or confirm that no downstream code ever modifies the embedding in-place and document that assumption.

The PR description states "Email normalization: Fixed case-sensitive email lookups that could miss existing users", but get_user_by_email passes the email through as-is to the Firestore where clause. If the stored email is user@example.com but the caller provides User@Example.com, the query returns no results and the share fails with a 404.

storage.Client() on every GCS call
storage.Client() performs service-account credential loading and HTTP connection setup each time it is called. load_embedding_from_gcs is called during every WebSocket session startup (once per shared profile) and again on every real-time share event. Creating a new client on each invocation is wasteful and may exhaust connection pool limits under load.
Use a module-level singleton instead:
_gcs_client: storage.Client | None = None
def _get_gcs_client() -> storage.Client:
global _gcs_client
if _gcs_client is None:
_gcs_client = storage.Client()
return _gcs_clientThen replace storage.Client().bucket(...) with _get_gcs_client().bucket(...).

Content validation: Enhanced display name validation beyond length checks
Unicode handling: Ensured proper UTF-8 encoding throughout the sharing pipeline
