- [x] C11 preview caching: Discord-hosted image/GIF previews (WebP 320px, hash-addressed, 5 MiB
cap, one attempt) run after every walk in both modes. Live run `...-20260916090722`:
`previewed: 2`; thumbs served over `/api/media/<scrape>/<item>/thumb` (200).
- [x] C68 Half-Life voices and a tidier Radio kit. `vox` and `hev` are now real voices in the
list (Keith Bell with the VOX/HEV profile; VOX implies its prosody), so the preset dropdown and
the VOX/clean toggles left the Radio kit; the clean option appears only for the VOX voice, and
every remaining field has a visible label (echo delay/level, crunch bits/Hz, word gap). The
daemon auto-enables prosody for the `vox` voice and the UI no longer sends stale `preset`/`vox`
values. Wrapper tests cover both voices and the profile they write.
- [x] C67 Crunch, echo options, and streaming word mode. The wrapper gained a separate
compression stage applied last (presets hl90/hl90hq/telephone/adpcm/crush plus bit-depth and
rate overrides, output still 48 kHz s16le), echo delay/level knobs, and `VESKSLOP_TTS_STREAM=1`

A **preset** select (`tts.preset`: factory, VOX, HEV) shifts the Keith Bell speaker profile to
the Half-Life approximation; `vox` also implies VOX prosody unless VOX is explicitly off, and
overrides travel as `VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET` / `{preset}`. Precedence is preset < profile <

The Half-Life voices are first-class entries in the voice list: **VOX (Half-Life)** and **HEV
suit** are Keith Bell with the corresponding profile preset, and VOX carries its prosody with it
(so no separate prosody toggle). Selecting the VOX voice shows its **clean (no stutter)** option
in the profile area. The underlying `tts.preset` / `vox` / `voxClean` values remain available to
the API and MCP; precedence is preset < profile < expression, so the sliders still win. The wrapper writes the audible profile to
both registry hives (plus the preset's Gender/Line Mode and a Default Speaker pointer), and for
Flextalk it sends rate/pitch as the sticky `\!R` / `\!%` vendor tags rather than
`ITTSAttributes`; attributes only apply to MSTTS voices. Neutral sliders emit neither, so the
