Gradio was unpinned, so a fresh install pulled Gradio 6, where
gr.Audio no longer accepts show_download_button — the UI crashed on
startup with TypeError. Move forward to Gradio 6 instead of pinning
back to 5:
- requirements: gradio>=6.0.0
- drop the removed show_download_button kwarg (4 call sites)
- requirements: transformers>=4.57.0 — Gradio 6 requires
huggingface-hub>=1.0, which transformers==4.50.0 forbids. Only
UMT5EncoderModel and AutoTokenizer are used, so the bump is safe.
Verified: pip check clean, UI renders and server callbacks work on
gradio 6.26.0 / transformers 5.16.1 / huggingface-hub 1.30.0.

- README_RU.md: full Russian translation, linked from README.md
- start.bat: one-click setup + launch for Windows. Finds Python 3.10+,
creates the venv, installs PyTorch (CUDA or CPU) and ACE-Step, checks
the GPU, then starts the web UI. Flags: --lowvram, --cpu, --share,
--port, --device, --listen, --reinstall, --update, --setup, --help.
- Both READMEs document the launcher.
