feat(tts): provider capabilities schema + Gemini TTS + dynamic param forms

Baseline groundwork for TTS expansion plan. Introduces a capabilities
system that the follow-up plan (phase-01..04) builds on.

Backend:
- `audio.ParamSchema` / `ProviderCapabilities` types + per-provider
  capabilities.go for edge, elevenlabs, minimax, openai, gemini.
- Gemini TTS provider (client, models, voices, wav encoder,
  multi-speaker via SpeakerVoice, audio-tag aware prompts).
- TTSOptions gains `Params map[string]any` (read-only) + `Speakers`.
- `VoiceListProvider` interface decouples HTTP voice handler from
  provider-specific impls.
- `nested_keys.go` resolves dot-separated param paths for nested
  provider bodies (voice_settings.stability etc.).
- Characterization + defaults-invariant tests per provider lock
  nil-params byte-equivalence before new params land.
- `/v1/tts/capabilities` HTTP endpoint + integration coverage.
- Dual-read tests (PG + SQLite) for tts_config.

Frontend (web + desktop):
- `DynamicParamForm` with depends-on evaluation, split into
  fields/logic modules. Slider primitive added.
- `AudioTagPicker` + `MultiSpeakerEditor` for Gemini.
- `voice-picker` refactored toward portal UX; combobox tightened.
- tts-capabilities API client + typed hooks.
- i18n catalogs (en/vi/zh) expanded; parity tests guard key drift.
- TTS page reorganised (voice-model-section removed; playground +
  credentials + provider-setup split cleanly).

+## TTS Subsystem
+
+### Overview
+
+TTS lives in `internal/audio/` (canonical) with a back-compat alias at `internal/tts/`.
+Five providers ship out-of-the-box: OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Edge TTS, MiniMax, Gemini.
+
+### Provider Capabilities Schema
+
+Each provider implements `audio.TTSProvider` and optionally `audio.CapabilitiesProvider`:
+
+```go
+type CapabilitiesProvider interface {
+    Capabilities() ProviderCapabilities
+}
+
+type ProviderCapabilities struct {
+    Params         []ParamSchema
+    CustomFeatures CustomFeatures
+}
+```
+
+`ParamSchema` carries `Key`, `Type` (string/number/bool/select/textarea), `Label`, `Help`, `Default`,
+`Min`/`Max`, `Options` (for select), `DependsOn` (all-of conditions), and `Hidden` flag.
+The UI reads `GET /v1/tts/capabilities` and renders per-provider param editors dynamically.
+See `docs/tts-provider-capabilities.md` for full schema documentation.
+
+### Providers
+
+| Provider | Package | Voice source | Key param |
+|----------|---------|--------------|-----------|
+| OpenAI | `internal/audio/openai/` | Static list | `speed`, `response_format`, `instructions` |
+| ElevenLabs | `internal/audio/elevenlabs/` | Dynamic (API) | `voiceSettings.*`, `seed`, `language_code` |
+| Edge TTS | `internal/audio/edge/` | Static list | `rate`, `pitch`, `volume` |
+| MiniMax | `internal/audio/minimax/` | Dynamic (API) | `speed`, `vol`, `pitch`, `emotion`, `audio.*` |
+| Gemini | `internal/audio/gemini/` | Static list (30) | multi-speaker, audio tags, 70+ languages |
+
+### Storage: Dual-Read
+
+Tenant TTS config is stored in `system_config` with two complementary strategies:
+- **Legacy flat keys** (`tts.provider`, `tts.voice_id`, `tts.api_key`, …) — written by all versions.
+- **Params blob** (`tts.<provider>.params` JSON) — written by v3.x+ for per-provider param overrides.
+
+On read, both paths are merged; blob wins on key conflict. This allows gradual migration:
+old clients see flat keys; new clients see the full params blob.
+
+### Manager
+
+`audio.Manager` is the central registry:
+- `RegisterProvider(p TTSProvider)` — replaces any existing provider by the same name.
+- `Primary()` — returns current primary provider name from config.
+- `Synthesize(ctx, text, opts)` — delegates to active provider.
+- `ListVoices(ctx, opts)` — delegates to `VoiceListProvider` if implemented.
+
+### HTTP Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Role | Notes |
+|----------|------|-------|
+| `POST /v1/tts/synthesize` | operator | Streams WAV response |
+| `POST /v1/tts/test-connection` | operator | Ephemeral provider, returns latency |
+| `GET /v1/tts/capabilities` | operator | ProviderCapabilities JSON per provider |
+| `GET /v1/tts/config` | admin | Tenant TTS config |
+| `POST /v1/tts/config` | admin | Save tenant TTS config |
+
+### Gemini Specifics
+
+- Models: `gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts`, `gemini-2.5-pro-preview-tts` (preview).
+- Multi-speaker: up to 2 simultaneous speakers, each with distinct voice + name annotation.
+- Audio tags: inline `<say-as>` / style directives via bracketed prompts.
+- Sentinel errors: `ErrInvalidVoice`, `ErrInvalidModel`, `ErrSpeakerLimit` → HTTP 422 with i18n message.
+- SSRF guard: `api_base` override validated by `validateProviderURL()` — blocks 127.0.0.1/localhost.
+
+### i18n
+
+Backend validation errors use `i18n.T(locale, key, args...)` pattern.
+Locale is extracted from `Accept-Language` HTTP header by `enrichContext` middleware.
+
+UI param labels/help text live in:
+- `ui/web/src/i18n/locales/{en,vi,zh}/tts.json`
+- `ui/desktop/frontend/src/i18n/locales/{en,vi,zh}/tts.json`
+
+Parity enforced by `ui/web/src/__tests__/i18n-tts-key-parity.test.ts` (vitest).
+
+---
+
+## Key Conventions
+
+- **Store layer:** Interface-based; PG (`store/pg/`) + SQLite (`store/sqlitestore/`). Raw SQL, `$1/$2` params.
+- **Context propagation:** `store.WithLocale`, `store.WithUserID`, `store.WithTenantID`, etc.
+- **Security logs:** `slog.Warn("security.*")` for all security events.
+- **SSRF prevention:** `validateProviderURL()` in `internal/http/tts_validate.go`.
+- **i18n keys:** Add to `internal/i18n/keys.go` + 3 catalog Go files; UI strings in 3 locale JSON dirs.
+- **Migrations:** PG (`migrations/`) + SQLite (`store/sqlitestore/schema.go`) — always update both.

+
+### TTS: Gemini provider + ProviderCapabilities schema engine
+
+**Features**
+
+- **Gemini TTS provider** (`internal/audio/gemini/`): supports `gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts` and `gemini-2.5-pro-preview-tts`. 30 prebuilt voices, 70+ languages, multi-speaker mode (up to 2 simultaneous speakers with distinct voices), audio-tag styling, WAV output via PCM-to-WAV conversion.
+- **`ProviderCapabilities` schema** (`internal/audio/capabilities.go`): dynamic per-provider param descriptor. Each provider exposes `Capabilities()` returning `[]ParamSchema` (type, range, default, dependsOn conditions, hidden flag) + `CustomFeatures` flags. UI reads `GET /v1/tts/capabilities` and renders param editors without hard-coded field lists.
+- **Dual-read TTS storage**: tenant config read from both legacy flat keys (`tts.provider`, `tts.voice_id`, …) and new params blob (`tts.<provider>.params` JSON). Blob wins on conflict. Allows gradual migration; no data loss on downgrade.
+- **`VoiceListProvider` interface** refactor: dynamic voice fetching (ElevenLabs, MiniMax) now via `ListVoices(ctx, ListVoicesOptions)` instead of per-provider ad-hoc methods. Unified `audio.Voice` type.
+- **`POST /v1/tts/test-connection`**: ephemeral provider creation from request credentials + short synthesis smoke test. Returns `{ success, latency_ms }`. No provider registration; no config mutation. Operator role required.
+- **`GET /v1/tts/capabilities`**: returns `ProviderCapabilities` JSON for all registered providers.
+
+**i18n**
+
+- Backend sentinel error keys (`MsgTtsGeminiInvalidVoice`, `MsgTtsGeminiInvalidModel`, `MsgTtsGeminiSpeakerLimit`, `MsgTtsParamOutOfRange`, `MsgTtsParamDependsOn`, `MsgTtsMiniMaxVoicesFailed`) in all 3 catalogs (EN/VI/ZH).
+- HTTP 422 responses for Gemini sentinel errors now use `i18n.T(locale, key, args...)` — locale from `Accept-Language` header.
+- ~80 param `label`/`help` keys across web + desktop locale files (EN/VI/ZH); parity enforced by `ui/web/src/__tests__/i18n-tts-key-parity.test.ts`.
+
+**Security**
+
+- SSRF guard on `api_base` override for test-connection (`validateProviderURL()`) — blocks `127.0.0.1` / `localhost` / RFC1918 ranges.
+
+**Docs**
+
+- `docs/tts-provider-capabilities.md` — schema reference + per-provider param tables + storage format + "Adding a new provider" checklist.
+- `docs/codebase-summary.md` — TTS subsystem section documenting manager, providers, storage, endpoints.

+Reference for the `ProviderCapabilities` schema, per-provider parameter tables,
+storage format, and the checklist for adding a new TTS provider.
+
+---
+
+## 1. ProviderCapabilities Schema
+
+### Go Types
+
+```go
+// ProviderCapabilities describes everything the frontend needs to render
+// dynamic per-provider settings and validate user input.
+type ProviderCapabilities struct {
+    Provider       string            // provider ID: "openai", "gemini", etc.
+    DisplayName    string            // human-readable name
+    RequiresAPIKey bool              // show API key field
+    Models         []string          // static model list; nil = user freetext
+    Voices         []VoiceOption     // static voices; nil = dynamic or none
+    Params         []ParamSchema     // ordered list of configurable params
+    CustomFeatures map[string]any    // provider-specific UI flags
+}
+
+// ParamSchema describes one configurable parameter.
+type ParamSchema struct {
+    Key         string       // dot-delimited storage key, e.g. "voice_settings.stability"
+    Type        ParamType    // "range" | "integer" | "boolean" | "enum" | "string" | "text"
+    Label       string       // English label (UI falls back to this if i18n key missing)
+    Description string       // English help text (optional)
+    Default     any          // default value (nil = omit from request)
+    Min         *float64     // range/integer lower bound
+    Max         *float64     // range/integer upper bound
+    Step        *float64     // slider increment
+    Enum        []EnumOption // allowed values for "enum" type
+    DependsOn   []Dependency // show/hide rules
+}
+
+// Dependency expresses a show/hide condition on another param's value.
+type Dependency struct {
+    Field string // key of the controlling param
+    Op    string // "eq" (only operator currently supported)
+    Value string // required value (string-compared after JSON marshal)
+}
+
+// EnumOption is one choice inside an enum param.
+type EnumOption struct {
+    Value string
+    Label string
+}
+```
+
+### ParamType values
+
+| Constant | Wire value | UI widget |
+|---|---|---|
+| `ParamTypeRange` | `"range"` | Slider + numeric input |
+| `ParamTypeInteger` | `"integer"` | Integer slider / stepper |
+| `ParamTypeBoolean` | `"boolean"` | Checkbox / toggle |
+| `ParamTypeEnum` | `"enum"` | Select dropdown |
+| `ParamTypeString` | `"string"` | Single-line text input |
+| `ParamTypeText` | `"text"` | Multi-line textarea |
+
+### DependsOn AND semantics
+
+Multiple `DependsOn` entries are evaluated with **AND** logic: the param is
+shown only when **all** conditions are satisfied simultaneously.
+
+```go
+// Shown only when format=="mp3":
+DependsOn: []audio.Dependency{
+    {Field: "audio.format", Op: "eq", Value: "mp3"},
+}
+
+// Shown only when provider=="gemini" AND mode=="multi":
+DependsOn: []audio.Dependency{
+    {Field: "provider", Op: "eq", Value: "gemini"},
+    {Field: "mode",     Op: "eq", Value: "multi"},
+}
+```
+
+### CustomFeatures flags
+
+| Key | Type | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `multi_speaker` | bool | Provider supports multi-speaker mode (Gemini) |
+| `audio_tags` | bool | Provider supports inline audio expression tags (Gemini) |
+| `voices_dynamic` | bool | Voices must be fetched at runtime via `VoiceListProvider` (MiniMax) |
+
+### Read-only contract
+
+`Capabilities()` **must** be a pure function — no side effects, no I/O, no
+locking. The manager calls it during startup to populate the catalog and again
+on each `GET /v1/tts/capabilities` request.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Per-Provider Parameter Tables
+
+### OpenAI (`internal/audio/openai/`)
+
+| Key | Type | Default | Range / Options | DependsOn |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `speed` | range | 1.0 | 0.25–4.0, step 0.05 | — |
+| `response_format` | enum | `"mp3"` | mp3, opus, aac, flac, wav, pcm | — |
+| `instructions` | text | `""` | — | `model == "gpt-4o-mini-tts"` |
+
+### ElevenLabs (`internal/audio/elevenlabs/`)
+
+| Key | Type | Default | Range / Options | DependsOn |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `voice_settings.stability` | range | 0.5 | 0–1, step 0.01 | — |
+| `voice_settings.similarity_boost` | range | 0.75 | 0–1, step 0.01 | — |
+| `voice_settings.style` | range | 0.0 | 0–1, step 0.01 | — |
+| `voice_settings.use_speaker_boost` | boolean | true | — | — |
+| `voice_settings.speed` | range | 1.0 | 0.7–1.2, step 0.01 | — |
+| `apply_text_normalization` | enum | `""` (auto) | auto, on, off | — |
+| `seed` | integer | 0 | 0–2³²−1 | — |
+| `optimize_streaming_latency` | range | 0 | 0–4, step 1 | — |
+| `language_code` | string | `""` | ISO 639-1 | — |
+
+### Edge TTS (`internal/audio/edge/`)
+
+No API key required. Full voice list available via `edge-tts --list-voices`.
+
+| Key | Type | Default | Range / Options | DependsOn |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `rate` | integer | 0 | -50–+100 (%) | — |
+| `pitch` | integer | 0 | -50–+50 (Hz) | — |
+| `volume` | integer | 0 | -50–+100 (%) | — |
+
+### MiniMax (`internal/audio/minimax/`)
+
+Voices are dynamic — fetched at runtime via `VoiceListProvider`.
+`CustomFeatures["voices_dynamic"] = true` signals the frontend to call
+`GET /v1/voices?provider=minimax`.
+
+| Key | Type | Default | Range / Options | DependsOn |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `speed` | range | 1.0 | 0.5–2.0, step 0.1 | — |
+| `vol` | range | 1.0 | 0.01–10.0, step 0.01 | — |
+| `pitch` | integer | 0 | -12–+12 (semitones) | — |
+| `emotion` | enum | `""` | none/happy/sad/angry/fearful/disgusted/surprised/neutral/excited/anxious | — |
+| `text_normalization` | boolean | nil (omit) | — | — |
+| `audio.format` | enum | `"mp3"` | mp3, pcm, flac, wav | — |
+| `audio.sample_rate` | enum | `""` (default) | 8000/16000/22050/24000/32000/44100 | — |
+| `audio.bitrate` | enum | `""` (default) | 32000/64000/128000/256000 bps | `audio.format == "mp3"` |
+| `audio.channel` | enum | `""` (default) | 1=mono, 2=stereo | — |
+
+### Gemini (`internal/audio/gemini/`)
+
+No configurable `Params` — advanced features exposed via `CustomFeatures`.
+
+| Feature | CustomFeatures key | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Multi-speaker | `multi_speaker: true` | Up to 2 speakers; each has `name` + `voice` |
+| Audio tags | `audio_tags: true` | Inline `[laughs]`, `[sighs]`, etc. |
+| Preview badge | — | Models are preview-stage; UI shows badge |
+
+Sentinel validation errors (422 Unprocessable Entity):
+
+| Error | i18n key |
+|---|---|
+| `ErrInvalidVoice` | `MsgTtsGeminiInvalidVoice` |
+| `ErrSpeakerLimit` | `MsgTtsGeminiSpeakerLimit` |
+| `ErrInvalidModel` | `MsgTtsGeminiInvalidModel` |
+
+All 422 error messages are run through `i18n.T(locale, key, args...)` using the
+locale extracted from `Accept-Language` by `requireAuth → enrichContext`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Storage Format — Dual-Read / Dual-Write
+
+TTS configuration is persisted in `system_configs` (tenant-scoped key-value store).
+Two layouts coexist for backward compatibility:
+
+### Legacy flat keys
+
+```
+tts.provider            → "openai"
+tts.openai.api_base     → "https://api.openai.com/v1"
+tts.openai.voice        → "nova"
+tts.openai.model        → "tts-1"
+tts.gemini.speakers     → [{"name":"Alice","voice":"Kore"}]  (JSON array)
+```
+
+### Params blob (Phase C+)
+
+```
+tts.<provider>.params   → {"speed":1.2,"response_format":"mp3"}  (JSON object)
+```
+
+### Dual-read logic (`resolveTenantProvider`)
+
+1. Read legacy flat keys to populate `testConnectionRequest` fields.
+2. Read `tts.<provider>.params` blob via `loadParamsBlob()`.
+3. **Blob wins** on key conflict — blob values override legacy flat keys for the
+   same logical param.
+4. Legacy flat keys fill gaps not covered by the blob.
+
+### Rollback
+
+Reverting Phase C+ is non-destructive: legacy flat keys remain valid; the blob
+is simply ignored when `loadParamsBlob` returns `nil`.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Adding a New Provider
+
+Follow these touchpoints in order. Each step is required; skipping any causes
+a compile or runtime failure.
+
+### Step 1 — Provider package
+
+Create `internal/audio/<name>/tts.go` implementing `audio.TTSProvider`:
+
+```go
+type Provider struct { /* config fields */ }
+func (p *Provider) Name() string { return "<name>" }
+func (p *Provider) Synthesize(ctx context.Context, text string, opts audio.TTSOptions) (*audio.SynthResult, error)
+func (p *Provider) Capabilities() audio.ProviderCapabilities
+```
+
+Follow the SSRF guard pattern for external HTTP calls (validate `apiBase` via
+`validateProviderURL` before creating the HTTP client).
+
+### Step 2 — Capabilities()
+
+Return a fully populated `audio.ProviderCapabilities`.
+
+- Set `RequiresAPIKey: true/false`.
+- Populate `Params` with `[]audio.ParamSchema`; use `&float64` literals for
+  `Min`/`Max`/`Step` (package-level `var` to avoid address-of-literal).
+- Defaults **must** match the values your `Synthesize` applies when the param
+  is absent from `opts.Params`.
+- If voices are dynamic, set `CustomFeatures["voices_dynamic"] = true` and
+  implement `VoiceListProvider` (see Step 6).
+
+### Step 3 — createEphemeralTTSProvider (`internal/http/tts_test_connection.go`)
+
+Add a `case "<name>":` branch:
+
+```go
+case "<name>":
+    return newpkg.NewProvider(newpkg.Config{
+        APIKey:    req.APIKey,
+        APIBase:   req.APIBase,
+        VoiceID:   req.VoiceID,
+        ModelID:   req.ModelID,
+        TimeoutMs: req.TimeoutMs,
+    }), nil
+```
+
+Also add `"<name>": true` to `supportedTestProviders` and, if an API key is
+needed, to `providersRequiringAPIKey`.
+
+### Step 4 — resolveTenantProvider (`internal/http/tts.go`)
+
+Add a `case "<name>":` branch reading the provider's config keys from
+`h.systemConfigs` / `h.configSecrets` and calling `loadParamsBlob`.
+
+### Step 5 — Wire sentinel errors (if any)
+
+If the provider defines sentinel errors (like Gemini's `ErrInvalidVoice`),
+add `errors.Is` checks in both `handleSynthesize` and `handleTestConnection`,
+using `i18n.T(locale, MsgXxx, ...)` for the response body.
+
+### Step 6 — VoiceListProvider (dynamic voices only)
+
+Implement the interface:
+
+```go
+type VoiceListProvider interface {
+    TTSProvider
+    ListVoices(ctx context.Context) ([]VoiceOption, error)
+}
+```
+
+The voices handler (`GET /v1/voices?provider=<name>`) uses a type-assertion to
+detect this interface at runtime — no registration needed.
+
+### Step 7 — tts_config.go schema validation
+
+If the provider has required fields (e.g. `group_id` for MiniMax), add
+validation in `internal/http/tts_config.go` so `PUT /v1/tts/config` returns a
+clear 400 when mandatory fields are missing.
+
+### Step 8 — i18n keys
+
+For each `ParamSchema`, add:
+
+1. `tts.<name>.<param_key>.label` and `tts.<name>.<param_key>.help` to all
+   6 locale JSON files (web × 3 + desktop × 3).
+2. Any backend validation error keys to `internal/i18n/keys.go` and all three
+   catalog files (`catalog_en.go`, `catalog_vi.go`, `catalog_zh.go`).
+
+### Step 9 — Tests
+
+- Unit test `Capabilities()` returns non-empty `Provider` + `DisplayName`.
+- Test `createEphemeralTTSProvider` builds the provider without error.
+- Test `Synthesize` against a mock HTTP server.
+- If sentinel errors exist, test 422 body uses `i18n.T` for all locales
+  (see `TestSynthesize_GeminiInvalidVoice_I18n` pattern in `tts_test.go`).
+

+## 5. Gemini Specifics
+
+### Models
+
+Gemini TTS uses preview models only (as of 2026-04):
+
+- `gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts`
+- `gemini-2.5-pro-preview-tts`
+- `gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview`
+
+The frontend displays a "Preview" badge (i18n key `tts.gemini.previewBadge`).
+
+### Multi-speaker mode
+
+- Up to **2 speakers** per request.
+- Each speaker: `{name: string, voice: string}` — voice must be one of the
+  30 prebuilt Gemini voices.
+- Serialized as `tts.gemini.speakers` JSON blob in `system_configs`.
+- At synthesis time, `loadSavedSpeakers` restores the blob into `opts.Speakers`.
+
+### Audio tags
+
+Inline expressive markers injected by the user directly into text:
+
+```
+Hello [laughs] world [sighs] how are you?
+```
+
+Categories: Emotion, Pacing, Effect, Voice quality. Full tag list is hardcoded
+in the frontend (`gemini/audio-tags.ts`).
+
+### Language support
+
+Gemini TTS supports 70+ languages automatically based on input text — no
+explicit language parameter needed.
+
+### SSRF guard
+
+`api_base` overrides for Gemini (and all providers) are validated by
+`validateProviderURL` in `internal/http/tts_url_validator.go`. Private IP
+ranges (127.x, 10.x, 192.168.x, etc.) and `localhost` are rejected with a 400
+response to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery.
