 Those are the pack names frank-tts resolves from `/home/dank/voices` (`scripts/frank-tts.env` header: a voice is real exactly when `/voices/<name>/reference.wav` exists). Two traps, both from upstream's shipped defaults:
 
-- The three seeded speaker profiles carry **OpenAI voice names** (`nova`, `alloy`, …) and **no voice model at all** — they show a "Setup required" badge, and generation fails with a voice error until they are edited (`creating-podcasts.md:13`, `:33`; `local-tts.md:89`). Add a `narrator1`/`narrator2` pair (or a third/fourth) rather than editing the seeded ones in place.
