- Implemented streaming synthesis in the `say` command to allow processing of arbitrarily long text without hitting model phoneme limits.
- Added file input support via the `--file` flag and updated the CLI to prevent conflicting arguments.
- Refined `SpeakableStream` segmentation logic to prioritize valid sentence and clause breaks within the maximum segment length when processing large text buffers.
- Added comprehensive tests for stream segmentation behavior under long-form input.
- Added an enhanced speech pipeline that utilizes small models to rewrite text for natural language synthesis.
- Implemented `SpeechEnhancer` and `BlockAccumulator` to manage fence-aware text streaming and paragraph splitting.
- Configured a new `speech.enhanced` setting to toggle between mechanical and enhanced vocalization modes.
- Resolved `EPIPE` rejections during speech playback by ensuring stream flushes and suppressing stop-related errors.
- Added `SpeakableStream` to strip markdown noise, silence code blocks and tables, normalize links and paths, and emit sentence/clause segments.
- Reworked `Vocalizer` to segment assistant deltas in the parent process, lazily open TTS streams, idle-flush partial thoughts, and chain playback sessions.
- Added gapless streaming playback with ffmpeg/sox backends, ducking-aware pacing, fallback file playback, and immediate stop handling.
- Added IPC `sendAndFlush` support and used it in the TTS worker so audio chunks drain before blocking ONNX inference resumes.
- Added speakable-stream coverage for markdown filtering, segmentation latency, idle flushing, and forced long-segment splits.
