Subject: [PATCH] fix: add piper-phonemize find-links for LuxTTS install
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

piper-phonemize has no PyPI wheels — needs custom find-links URL
from k2-fsa.github.io. Removed redundant transitive deps that
Zipvoice already declares.
