Pass manifest path via --manifest flag (required) instead of as a
positional argument, so the test exercises cmd_validate rather than
argparse error handling. Also assert returncode==1 and check stderr
for the FAILED/error message to prevent false positives.

- Invalid audio rows (bad path or sample-rate mismatch) no longer
increment valid_samples; has_error is now set on any audio failure
- _check_audio_file now enforces the expected sample rate when soundfile
is available, making --sample-rate actually useful
- ref_audio missing-file warning is emitted for every invalid entry
independently, not only before the first valid one is seen
- New tests cover each of the four corrected behaviours: invalid audio
count, sample-rate mismatch, mixed ref_audio, and CLI exit code
Add a new `validate` subcommand that checks JSONL training manifests
before starting expensive fine-tuning jobs. This catches format issues,
missing audio files, and data quality problems early.
The validator performs:
- JSONL format validation (each line must be valid JSON)
- Required column checks (text, audio)
- Audio file existence and readability verification
- Duration and text length statistics (min, max, mean, median)
- Optional ref_audio column validation
- Warnings for very short (<0.3s) or very long (>30s) audio samples
Usage:
voxcpm validate --manifest train.jsonl
voxcpm validate --manifest train.jsonl --sample-rate 16000 --verbose
The module uses lazy imports for soundfile, so it works even in
minimal environments. Includes 11 unit tests covering all validation
paths.
