Chatterbox inserts a long pause — sometimes ~20s of silence — for each
blank line it sees, and insight text is markdown full of paragraph
breaks. clean_for_tts previously preserved paragraph structure
(\n{3,} -> \n\n), so every paragraph boundary still reached the model
as a double newline. Now any run of 2+ newlines, including
whitespace-only blank lines, collapses to a single newline so the
worst pause a break can cause is a normal line-break pause.

The Chatterbox wrapper has no internal lock or cancellation, so concurrent
synth requests contend on the single GPU and abandoned (timed-out) jobs
cascade into stacked slowness. Gate synthesis behind a one-permit semaphore
and fast-fail concurrent requests with 429 instead of queueing.

Long insights are chunked + synthesized server-side and can run past the shared
180s chat/embedding client timeout, causing spurious timeouts. /tts/speech now
uses a per-request timeout from LLAMA_SWAP_TTS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_SECONDS
(default 600), overriding the client default without affecting chat/embeddings.

Sync CLAUDE.md with the Chatterbox TTS feature: the /tts/* endpoints and the
LLAMA_SWAP_TTS_MODEL / _VOICE / _REF_SECONDS env vars (only need LLAMA_SWAP_URL).

Each /tts handler now opens an http.tts.* span via extract_context_from_request
+ global_tracer().start_with_context, sets Status::Ok / Status::error on every
outcome, and records useful attributes (model, format, voice_name, byte counts)
— matching the insight handlers. Prometheus request metrics were already
covered by the app-wide actix-web-prom middleware.

Chatterbox validates the reference clip by file extension and rejects formats
like .aac/.opus. Always transcode the reference (upload bytes and library
files alike) to mono 24 kHz WAV with ffmpeg before forwarding, so any source
format is accepted and the from-library audio/video paths are unified.
The reference length cap is now configurable via LLAMA_SWAP_TTS_REF_SECONDS
(default 30) — Chatterbox is zero-shot, so a clean ~10-20s clip is the sweet
spot. Drops the now-unused mime guesser.

Adds the /tts/speech and /tts/voices* endpoints plus LLAMA_SWAP_TTS_MODEL /
LLAMA_SWAP_TTS_VOICE (TTS only needs LLAMA_SWAP_URL, not LLM_BACKEND=llamacpp).

/tts/speech now normalizes input before synthesis: unwraps markdown
links/images to visible text, drops heading/list/blockquote/emphasis
markers and URLs, strips emoji (which non-turbo Chatterbox mispronounces
or skips), and collapses whitespace. Centralized in clean_for_tts so the
app, WebUI, and curl all get clean audio. Bracketed tags are deliberately
preserved for a future Turbo (paralinguistic) switch.
Adds optional exaggeration / cfg_weight / temperature to the request,
clamped to Chatterbox's documented ranges and forwarded on the speech
body. Unit tests cover markdown/emoji/URL stripping and tag preservation.

LlamaCppClient gains text_to_speech (OpenAI /audio/speech), list_voices and
create_voice (voice library at the swap-root /upstream/<model>/voices
passthrough), plus a tts_model slot configured via LLAMA_SWAP_TTS_MODEL
(default "chatterbox").
New Claims-gated routes:
- POST /tts/speech -> { audio_base64, format } for data: URI playback
- GET /tts/voices -> voice library passthrough
- POST /tts/voices/upload -> clone a voice from an uploaded clip (multipart)
- POST /tts/voices/from-library -> clone from a library file (ffmpeg-extracts
audio from video; audio forwarded as-is)
Security: voice_name sanitized to [A-Za-z0-9_-] (it becomes an upstream
filename), 25 MB upload cap, library refs restricted to real audio/video,
path confined via is_valid_full_path. Adds is_audio_file + unit tests for the
sanitizer, mime guesser, and swap-root derivation.
