The cluster-wide pod cannot reach BLUEJAY-WS speaches on 10.0.56.20:9200
because the rootless+host-net podman setup binds 127.0.0.1 only on the
WSL machine; nothing on the LAN-facing interface. The openai-compatible
Backend value also relied on a Common change still on feat/shared-indexing
rather than master, so the deployed image's Shared.Speech only knows
the FC-native /align shape.
Disable Speech:Alignment for now. EstimatedAlignmentClient kicks in and
keeps /api/v1/voices/preview-with-timings returning word-aligned JSON,
just with uniform-distribution timings instead of real Whisper output.
Re-enable once: (a) Common's openai-compatible Backend lands on master
and a new TtsReader image ships, or (b) we point at a LAN-routable
backend (e.g. an aiohttp /align shim, or speaches running on a node
that's actually reachable from cluster pods).

The fc-speech-align container on BLUEJAY-WS (port 9200) is the speaches
build of faster-whisper-server, which exposes the OpenAI-compatible
/v1/audio/transcriptions contract — not the FlowerCore /align contract.
FasterWhisperAlignmentClient (FlowerCore.Common a1b3bfc) supports both
shapes; tell it explicitly to talk OpenAI-compatible here so requests land
on the right endpoint and verbose_json gets adapted into the FC alignment
response. Also pin the Model id to one speaches recognizes.
Switch back to fc-align once a native /align backend is deployed (or wire
a tiny FastAPI shim in front of speaches if we want a stable contract).

Flips Speech__Alignment__Enabled=true and points BaseUrl at the
new BLUEJAY-WS podman quadlet running fc-speech-align (faster-
whisper, /align contract). When Lane 1δ's
/api/v1/voices/preview-with-timings runs after this lands, the
alignment.source field flips from 'estimated' to 'whisper' and
the per-word timings come from real audio analysis instead of
uniform-spacing estimates.
No image rebuild — the Lane 1α DI registration already routes
IWhisperAlignmentClient to FasterWhisperAlignmentClient when
Speech:Alignment:Enabled is true.
Companion firewall rule from FlowerCore.Puppet@bbc02ea +
@05504ed (whisper_align_enabled flag on bluejay-ws-linux Hiera)
opens port 9200 to RKE2 pod CIDR durably.
Picks up Lane 1δ + 3β:
- Lane 3β: GET /reader-embed iframe-friendly host route + public-
read CORS for /api/v1/voices and /_content/.../embed/
- Lane 1δ: GET /api/v1/voices/preview-with-timings — pairs
synthesized audio with per-word alignment timings (faster-
whisper or estimated fallback) so embed bundle / FcReaderOverlay
/ in-app /voices preview can word-highlight in one round-trip
- Latest FlowerCore.UI.Components from Common master:
FcReaderOverlay annotation popover (Lane 2γ) + <fc-reader>
standalone embed bundle (Phase 3)

Image imported on rke2-server / rke2-agent1 / rke2-agent2.
Previous v202604241543backlog image accidentally used a stale
publish/ directory at the TtsReader repo root (Dockerfile.deploy
says COPY publish/ but my ad-hoc publish wrote to artifacts/publish/).
Rebuilt with a clean copy from artifacts/publish/ to publish/ first.
Confirmed new image has appsettings.json Preview section + the
quick-swipe-gestures.js asset baked in.

Hotfix for two live render errors:
- Kokoro chapter render failed with "count ('-1') must be non-negative"
— streaming-WAV chunk-size sentinel (0xFFFFFFFF) read as -1.
- Piper render timed out on book-chapter paragraphs with no sentence
punctuation — one giant segment exceeded the 2-min timeout.
Source fix: FlowerCore.TtsReader@826589b. 153/153 tests green.

Adds TtsReader__Kokoro__Enabled=true + BaseUrl=http://10.0.56.20:10401
+ TimeoutSeconds=120 so the pod routes kokoro-tagged voices to the
Kokoro-FastAPI backend running on BLUEJAY-WS. Multi-engine router
falls through to Piper for piper-tagged and untagged voices.
Requires nftables on BLUEJAY-WS to permit tcp/10401 from 10.0.56/23
and 10.42.0.0/16. Applied to the live ruleset — Puppet Hiera path is
the durable fix (kokoro_server_enabled under profile::security::firewall).
Tests 107 → 114 (+7 MultiEngineSpeechSynthesizerTests).
New surfaces: POST /api/v1/bible/projects (one-click whole-book render),
GET /api/v1/bible/books, GET /api/v1/bible/books/{book}/preview, MCP
tools render_tts_reader_bible_book + list_tts_reader_bible_books,
Dashboard "Render a Bible book" card. 107/107 tests, +7 from previous.
Pulls in FlowerCore.TtsReader@9e2497f: P2.3 iTunes-namespace podcast
feed (author, summary, category, cover art, episode numbering,
duration, atom:self link, serial channel type for Bible projects) and
P2.4 ID3v2 tags on MP3 export + Vorbis comments on OGG (title, artist
with Piper voice humanized, album, track N/M, genre defaulting to
Religion & Spirituality for Bible or Audiobook for text sources,
date). Phones and podcast apps now show proper track info instead of
"Unknown - Unknown".

Pulls in FlowerCore.TtsReader@63e6b62: P1.1 Media Session API wiring in
fc-media-session.js + quick-player.js + rendered-chapter-player.js, and
P1.2 biblical-name pronunciation lexicon auto-seed on Bible-source
project creation plus apply-bible-defaults endpoint + MCP tool for
existing projects. Tests 81 -> 97 all green.

Quick Read's active-sentence highlight was changing font-weight from
regular to semibold, which shifted glyph widths and reflowed the whole
paragraph mid-playback. New image drops the weight change and uses a
1px box-shadow ring instead for a stable layout.
Built from FlowerCore.TtsReader@e77d69d.
Full deployment manifests (Namespace, Deployment, Service, Certificate,
IngressRoute) for 4 new FlowerCore services with port 8080, ClusterIP
on port 80, cert-manager step-ca-acme TLS, and /metrics/prometheus
health probes.
