Path B from VoiceModels.md — adds two new compose stacks alongside the
Wyoming pair so OpenWebUI/Conduit get voice without a Wyoming-shim:
- compose/faster-whisper.yml — fedirz/faster-whisper-server CPU image,
large-v3-turbo by default, OpenAI /v1/audio/transcriptions on :8001.
Built-in web UI for ad-hoc transcription.
- compose/kokoro.yml — ghcr.io/remsky/kokoro-fastapi-cpu, Kokoro-82M,
OpenAI /v1/audio/speech on :8880.
Both run alongside (not instead of) Wyoming Whisper + Piper — Wyoming
keeps serving HA Assist, OpenAI-API serves OpenWebUI / Conduit. Memory
budget on Strix Halo accommodates everything plus Qwen3-Coder loaded
concurrently with plenty of headroom.
Homepage gets dedicated tiles for both. README documents the
OpenWebUI Audio configuration that wires the new endpoints. Conduit
inherits voice via OpenWebUI without app-side setup.

- Move piper-compose.yaml / whisper-compose.yaml from repo root into
pyinfra/framework/compose/{piper,whisper}.yml; bind paths shifted to
/srv/docker/{piper,whisper}/data on the box.
- deploy.py registers both stacks and provisions the data dirs.
- Homepage gets a "Voice" group with informational tiles (Wyoming has
no web UI, so tiles show container status without click-through).
- New VoiceModels.md captures the May 2026 STT/TTS landscape, why the
current Wyoming defaults aren't SOTA, and concrete upgrade paths
(whisper-large-v3-turbo + faster-whisper-server, Kokoro, Sesame CSM,
F5-TTS for cloning).
