Goal
Map whether FlowHigh can become a package-owned compatibility backend without adding heavyweight baseline dependencies or implicit network access.
Source facts to verify
- Repository: https://github.com/resemble-ai/flowhigh
- License: MIT
- Target sample rate: 48 kHz
- Core method: single-step flow matching with transformer and BigVGAN/vocoder components
- Public usage: FlowHighSR.from_pretrained(...).generate(wav, sr_in, target_sr)
- Current checkpoint distribution appears to rely on Google Drive links rather than a hashable provider manifest.
Acceptance criteria
- Identify exact required checkpoint/config files and their licenses.
- Determine whether weights can be mirrored into a managed manifest with stable size/SHA256 metadata.
- Map preprocessing, target-rate behavior, and vocoder boundaries.
- Confirm whether CPU/offline smoke validation is practical.
- Decide whether the next step is external wrapper, self-contained compat backend, or continued watchlist.
Non-goals
- Do not implement the backend in this issue.
- Do not add FlowHigh dependencies to the default package.
- Do not add unverified weights to tests or release artifacts.
