Rewrote developer-facing docs that predated the TTSBackend Protocol /
ModelConfig registry refactor (architecture, tts-generation,
model-management, transcription). Updated user-facing docs to reflect all
seven shipped engines (Qwen, Qwen CustomVoice, LuxTTS, Chatterbox,
Chatterbox Turbo, TADA, Kokoro) instead of the outdated "5 engines" claim.
Also fixes:
- Stale app identifier (com.voicebox.app → sh.voicebox.app)
- CUDA backend update flow (now two-archive split, not N-way chunks)
- Whisper model list (removed tiny, added turbo)
- Broken /development/ and /guides/ route links
- Stale just commands and install steps (missing --no-deps chatterbox/tada)
- Removed ASCII art diagrams from README and stories.mdx
- History Generation schema sync with DB model

Remove @torch.jit.script from the DAC shim's snake() function —
TorchScript calls inspect.getsource() which fails in PyInstaller
binaries (no .py source files).
Update all user-facing docs: 4 → 5 TTS engines, add TADA row to
every engine comparison table, mark TADA as Shipped in the upcoming
engines list, update architecture diagrams and tech stack tables.
