- fix: base-appearance matched pair lost its concept image + metadata on reload; visual save
wrote base concept art to the record root; one save path for base and forms now
- fix: extraction no longer lets the LLM author image_prompt (source of avatar/concept drift);
avatar-only generation uses the deterministic prompt and flags an existing pair
- fix: prompt writes and Physical/Clothing edits go to the active form; review endpoint checks
each form's own pair; fingerprint parity with the browser incl. visual_* overrides
- feat: appearance forms panel (add/rename/delete/show, per-form stale flag, generate one/all)

Introduces the new Studio section (Source -> Characters -> Voices ->
Perform & Export) that reuses the existing Read Aloud/Library/Script
Rehearsal code via DOM reparenting instead of duplicating it, and rolls up
a long tail of bugs found while producing a real audiobook through it:
umlaut-eating name sanitizers, a voice picker that mispositioned itself and
capped results at 60, PDF pagination silently breaking on trimmed \f
markers, a race letting stale audio keep playing after a new line was
clicked, an alias-overlap bug that could silently redirect a voice/image
save onto the wrong character, voice design failing outright during brief
TTS backend restarts instead of retrying, sparse cast entries defaulting to
English/wrong gender, and a reassigned voice never reaching an already-open
Stage session or invalidating its cached audio. Also adds a persistent
per-line audio cache, audiobook export browsing/download, and an inline
voice-design prompt editor. Full details in CHANGELOG.md.
