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).
