Logical Layering (for clarity and testability)

Your project is structured in layers:

1. API Layer (api/)

• Contains only routing, request parsing, and HTTP-related logic.

2. Service Layer (services/)

• Business logic — these should be fully testable without running the API.

3. Models Layer (models/)

• Schema validation (Pydantic), request/response structures.

4. Core Layer (core/)

• Configuration, logging, environment handling.

5. Data Layer (data/)

• Local files your script may need (audio, models, temp outputs).

6. App Entrypoint (app.py)

• Creates and starts the API (similar to main()).
