+      the buffered `chatterbox` (:8196), which is unchanged. Defaults sourced from
+      the 2026-06-02 spike (temperature 0.8 / top_p 0.95 / top_k 1000 /
+      repetition_penalty 1.2). exaggeration / cfg_weight are deliberately omitted —
+      Turbo ignores them. streamable:true routes the UI to an ephemeral audition
+      (progressive <audio>, no Asset/library entry); re-run on `chatterbox` to keep
+      output. Status experimental until the first real browser audition verifies
+      progressive playback end-to-end.
