0.3.0 sometimes stored relative media paths with the data-dir name baked in
(e.g. "data/profiles/<uuid>/sample.wav"). resolve_storage_path joined those
directly with _data_dir, producing "<data_dir>/data/profiles/..." — a
spurious double nest that breaks file reads after upgrading to 0.4.0.
The 0.4.0 startup migration didn't catch it because resolve_storage_path
produced the buggy double-nested path, to_storage_path saw "data" at the
first (legitimate) index, and the normalized value matched the stored value
so the row was skipped.
Strip any leading "data/" component before joining. This unblocks runtime
reads and lets _normalize_storage_paths rewrite the affected rows on next
startup — no manual migration needed.
Fixes "No such file or directory: '<data_dir>/data/profiles/...'" and
associated 404s on GET /audio/<id> after upgrading from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0.

Add Kokoro-82M as a new TTS engine — 82M params, CPU realtime, 8 languages,
Apache 2.0. Unlike cloning engines, Kokoro uses pre-built voice styles, which
required a new profile type system to support non-cloning engines cleanly.
Kokoro engine:
- New kokoro_backend.py implementing TTSBackend protocol
- 50 built-in voices across en/es/fr/hi/it/pt/ja/zh
- KPipeline API with language-aware G2P routing via misaki
- PyInstaller bundling for misaki, language_tags, espeakng_loader, en_core_web_sm
Voice profile type system:
- New voice_type column: 'cloned' | 'preset' | 'designed' (future)
- Preset profiles store engine + voice ID instead of audio samples
- default_engine field on profiles — auto-selects engine on profile pick
- Create Voice dialog: toggle between 'Clone from audio' and 'Built-in voice'
- Edit dialog shows preset voice info instead of sample list for preset profiles
- Engine selector locks to preset engine when preset profile is selected
- Profile grid filters by engine — shows Kokoro voices when Kokoro selected
- Custom empty state when no preset profiles exist for selected engine
Bug fixes:
- Fix relative audio paths in DB causing 404s in production builds
- config.set_data_dir() now resolves to absolute paths
- Startup migration converts existing relative paths to absolute
Also updates PROJECT_STATUS.md and tts-engines.mdx developer guide.
Replace verbose startup messages with a clean summary:
- App version, Python version, OS/arch
- Database path (fix None display), data directory
- Profile and generation counts
- Backend, GPU, model cache path
- Clean up stale loading_model status on startup
- Remove noisy progress manager log line
