feat(frank-tts-engine): the arm A engine as a boot-persistent quadlet unit

Repo state only: nothing deployed, no host touched, no container started.

- `frank-tts-engine` on Dankclaw: `qwentts.cpp` commit
  5916bf7c79dbb4e66fc059cdc507a79a23a28bb4, resident `tts-server`, 1.7 B base
  talker Q4_K_M + Q8_0 tokenizer, container port 8880. It is deliberately NOT a
  fleet endpoint — `frank-tts` on 7772 is the endpoint consumers address.
- Publishes NOTHING. A host-loopback publish would have been useless to the
  façade (netavark DNATs published ports only, so a bridge container cannot
  reach a host loopback bind — the shape that 502'd hermes) and would have been
  the one LAN-reachable surface of an unauthenticated synthesiser. Both voice
  containers sit on one committed quadlet network, `frank-tts-engine.network`
  pinned to 10.89.5.0/24 (next free /24 after open-notebook's 10.89.4.0/24), and
  peers address the engine by container name. Diagnostics and the deployer's
  health gate run inside the netns (`podman exec`, `wait_container_healthy`).
- Cold-voice law honoured in the unit: the first request for a registered voice
  decodes its whole reference to snapshot codec state (6.2-8.0 s, first audio
  byte 5 530 ms), later ones restore in 0.5 ms, and the registry is memory-only.
  `ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh`
  with `TimeoutStartSec=900`; the `-` prefix keeps a failed warm from
  crash-looping the endpoint under `Restart=always`. It logs cold=/warm= per
  voice, so the under-a-second second request is proven on every boot.
- Thread law recorded: `tts-server` has no `--threads`; src/backend.h uses
  hardware_concurrency()/2, so a cpuset pin silently changes the thread count.
- Image builds from the pinned commit with the proven line (GGML_BLAS=OFF
  forced by this host, every GPU backend off, -j 8, no -DGGML_NATIVE because
  ggml defaults to -march=native for the building host). Two stages; the runtime
  stage COPYs both the entrypoint and the warmer, because a container that
  publishes nothing is reached with `podman exec`, not a port.
- `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh` fetches the two GGUFs with byte
  and LFS-oid checks (talker 1 219 245 248 B, tokenizer 291 150 624 B); the
  deployer gates on --verify-only instead of pulling 1.4 GiB mid-deploy.
- Registered in SERVICE_ORDER, DANKCLAW_SERVICES, the deploy-remote.sh dispatch,
  its pre-deploy requirement, deploy.sh's regex, the planner's path map (the
  whole `dankclaw/voiceservice/` tree mapped to nothing before this), and
  test-changed.sh ABOVE the `dankclaw/*.container` case whose `*` crosses `/`.
- New seam tests/frank_tts_engine.bats (19): the Quadlet generator's own output
  for network/publish/boot/warm shape, entrypoint argv driven from the tracked
  env file, the warmer against a stub tts-server over a real socket
  (registration keys, ref_text absent, late engine, hung synthesis, name
  refusal), the fetcher's verifier, the pinned cmake line, and both routing
  tables. Suite: 422 passed.
- Vault: [[Frank TTS Engine]] linked from the index; log.md entry for the day.

# frank-tts-engine is the arm A TTS engine behind frank-tts: one Quadlet unit
