Error message

{error}

What it means

On Windows, ensure_onnx_runtime_available rethrows a previously recorded ONNX Runtime initialization failure stored in the ONNX_RUNTIME_INIT_ERROR OnceLock. If the ONNX runtime DLL failed to load earlier in the process (e.g. missing onnxruntime.dll or wrong architecture), every later transcription path that calls this guard fails with the saved error string via anyhow::bail!.

Solutions

1. Read the embedded error string (it names the original DLL/load failure) and fix the root cause: ship the correct onnxruntime.dll beside the executable.
2. Match runtime architecture to the binary (x64 vs arm64) and include required provider DLLs (onnxruntime_providers_shared.dll, CUDA deps if enabled).
3. Reinstall/repair the app or re-download bundled models/runtime; on dev, rebuild with the matching ort features (e.g. load-dynamic with correct ORT env or default linking).

match ensure_onnx_runtime_available() {
    Ok(()) => { /* proceed with transcription */ }
    Err(e) => {
        log::error!("ONNX runtime unavailable: {e}");
        // surface a user-facing 'missing runtime components' dialog
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling any transcription/whisper/parakeet entry point that calls ensure_onnx_runtime_available() on Windows after ONNX runtime init already failed and stored its error in ONNX_RUNTIME_INIT_ERROR.

Common situations: onnxruntime DLL not shipped next to the exe, onnxruntime_dynamic_loading / load-dynamic feature mismatch, x86_64 binary on ARM64 or vice versa, CUDA/TensorRT provider DLLs missing, PATH not containing the runtime directory.
