+**Tauri shell (Rust)** hosts a **React frontend** (`app/`) that talks over HTTP on `localhost:17493` to a **FastAPI backend** (`backend/`).
+
+The backend exposes:
+
+- **`TTSBackend` Protocol** with seven concrete engine implementations:
+  - Qwen3-TTS (PyTorch or MLX depending on platform)
+  - Qwen CustomVoice (predefined speakers with instruct)
+  - LuxTTS (fast, CPU-friendly)
+  - Chatterbox Multilingual (23 languages)
+  - Chatterbox Turbo (English, paralinguistic tags)
+  - TADA (1B English, 3B multilingual via HumeAI)
+  - Kokoro 82M (pre-built voices, CPU realtime)
+- **`STTBackend` Protocol** for Whisper (PyTorch or MLX-Whisper)
+- **Profiles / History / Stories** services for persistence and timeline editing
