James PineandClaude Opus 4.7 8fcc9b6695 fix(app): guard against undefined engine in FloatingGenerateBox preset check
form.getValues('engine') returns string | undefined; Set<string>.has()
rejects undefined under strict mode. Added a truthy guard before the
preset lookup.

James PineandClaude Opus 4.7 b91d5d74cb docs: address PR review feedback
- architecture.mdx: fix backends/ file list (remove nonexistent qwen_backend.py, rename tada_backend.py → hume_backend.py)
- model-management.mdx: Kokoro language count 9 → 8 (matches ModelConfig)
- model-management.mdx: ProgressManager path services/ → utils/
- tts-generation.mdx: ModelConfig example uses field(default_factory=...) — mutable default would raise at runtime
- tts-generation.mdx: "1080p samples" → "on CUDA" (1080p is video, not audio)
- PROJECT_STATUS.md: replace ASCII architecture diagram with prose (matches no-ASCII-art rule)

James PineandClaude Opus 4.7 ed1915223f docs: audit mdx docs against multi-engine backend and refresh stale content
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Chatterbox Turbo, TADA, Kokoro) instead of the outdated "5 engines" claim.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

## What is Voicebox?
Voicebox is a **local-first voice cloning studio** — a free and open-source alternative to ElevenLabs. Clone voices from a few seconds of audio or pick from 50+ preset voices, generate speech in 23 languages across 7 TTS engines, apply post-processing effects, and compose multi-voice projects with a timeline editor.

- **7 TTS engines** — Qwen3-TTS, Qwen CustomVoice, LuxTTS, Chatterbox Multilingual, Chatterbox Turbo, HumeAI TADA, and Kokoro
- **Cloning and preset voices** — zero-shot cloning from a reference sample, or curated preset voices via Kokoro (50 voices) and Qwen CustomVoice (9 voices)
- **5 TTS engines** — Qwen3-TTS, LuxTTS, Chatterbox Multilingual, Chatterbox Turbo, and HumeAI TADA
- **23 languages** — from English to Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, Swahili, and more
- **Post-processing effects** — pitch shift, reverb, delay, chorus, compression, and filters
- **Expressive speech** — paralinguistic tags like `[laugh]`, `[sigh]`, `[gasp]` via Chatterbox Turbo; natural-language delivery control via Qwen CustomVoice
- **Expressive speech** — paralinguistic tags like `[laugh]`, `[sigh]`, `[gasp]` via Chatterbox Turbo
