The /align endpoint was returning Whisper-native word fields
(word/startSeconds/endSeconds/confidence), but FlowerCore.Shared.Speech's
FasterWhisperAlignmentClient on master deserializes
FasterWhisperWord against [JsonPropertyName("text")/("startMs")/("endMs")].
Result: ttsreader-web reported alignment.source="whisper" with words[]
present but every entry had Text="" and StartMs=EndMs=0 — visible in the
2026-04-25 hello-world smoke against ttsreader.iamworkin.lan.
Match the published Common contract instead of the Python model's native
shape: emit text/startMs/endMs (millisecond ints, not float seconds).
Confidence stays on the wire as informational; the deployed C# client
ignores it but a future fc-align operator UI can surface low-confidence
words. Bump tag to v3 and bump the Deployment image accordingly.

- New ttsreader-align Deployment + Service + 5Gi PVC under
apps/fc-ttsreader/. Wraps SYSTRAN/faster-whisper in a small FastAPI app
exposing POST /align (fc-align contract used by Shared.Speech) AND
POST /transcribe (audio-in feature consumed by ttsreader-web Lane G).
Source: apps/fc-ttsreader/speech-align/ (Dockerfile + app.py +
requirements.txt). Built locally (apt-get RUN steps need BLUEJAY-WS,
not noc1) and ctr-imported to all 3 RKE2 nodes.
- ttsreader-web env: flip Speech__Alignment__Enabled=true and point
BaseUrl at http://ttsreader-align.fc-ttsreader.svc.cluster.local.:9200.
Add new TtsReader__Transcription__* env triplet pointing at the same
service (same /transcribe endpoint).
- Bump ttsreader-web image to v202604251046 (carries the
TranscriptionController + MCP tool + Quick.razor InputFile UI).
