This comprehensive fix addresses memory leaks in both backend and frontend that could cause server crashes after extended use.
Backend fixes:
- MemoryManager class monitors process and GPU memory usage
- Automatic cleanup when thresholds exceeded (4GB process, 2GB GPU)
- Whisper model reloading to clear GPU memory fragmentation
- Aggressive temporary file cleanup based on age
- Context manager for audio processing with guaranteed cleanup
- Integration with session manager for resource tracking
- Background monitoring thread runs every 30 seconds
Frontend fixes:
- MemoryManager singleton tracks all browser resources
- SafeMediaRecorder wrapper ensures stream cleanup
- AudioBlobHandler manages blob lifecycle and object URLs
- Automatic cleanup of closed AudioContexts
- Proper MediaStream track stopping
- Periodic cleanup of orphaned resources
- Cleanup on page unload
Admin features:
- GET /admin/memory - View memory statistics
- POST /admin/memory/cleanup - Trigger manual cleanup
- Real-time metrics including GPU usage and temp files
- Model reload tracking
Key improvements:
- AudioContext properly closed after use
- Object URLs revoked after use
- MediaRecorder streams properly stopped
- Audio chunks cleared after processing
- GPU cache cleared after each transcription
- Temp files tracked and cleaned aggressively
This prevents the gradual memory increase that could lead to out-of-memory errors or performance degradation after hours of use.
