requirements.txt cannot install omnivoice (it would pull in torch==2.8.*
and break ComfyUI). install.py now does exactly one thing: install
omnivoice --no-deps, skipped if already present. All other deps remain
in requirements.txt for ComfyUI Manager to handle normally.

install.py was running arbitrary pip installs as part of node loading,
which is dangerous in a shared venv. Standard approach: requirements.txt
lists the safe deps (transformers, accelerate, soundfile, etc.);
omnivoice itself must be installed once manually with --no-deps to avoid
overwriting ComfyUI's torch. README documents this clearly.

The cap was wrong — it would downgrade transformers in shared venvs and
break other nodes. The torchcodec issue is handled in code now.

transformers 5.x unconditionally imports torchcodec in its ASR pipeline
preprocess step, which crashes in environments without FFmpeg shared libs.
4.x does not have this dependency.
