-"""Book cover generation: stdlib-only PNG with gradient + title text.
-
-Covers are a vertical gradient between two random light colors with the
-book title rendered on top in white with a black outline and a drop
-shadow, using an embedded 5x7 bitmap font. No third-party image libraries
-are required: PNG scanlines are packed and compressed with zlib/struct
-directly.

-class AudioCppTTSClient(_BaseTTSClient):
-    """Generates audio chunks through an audio.cpp audiocpp_server.
-
-    Talks to the OpenAI-style HTTP API of audiocpp_server, which hosts TTS
-    model families through a native ggml runtime (GGUF weights, no Python
-    serving stack). The server API is family-agnostic; the family and task
-    of the configured model entry are read from GET /v1/models at startup
-    and adapt the request payload (language field style, style instructions)
-    through AUDIOCPP_FAMILY_PROFILES. Three voice modes, all resolved
-    server-side from the request's "voice"/"instructions" fields:
-
-    - Speaker mode (no ``voice``): Qwen3-TTS only. A built-in CustomVoice
-      speaker name (e.g. "Vivian") is passed through, plus the INSTRUCT
-      style prompt. The server must be configured with the CustomVoice
-      model for this. Families without built-in speakers reject this mode
-      with a hint to pass --voice (or --instructions, see below).
-    - Preset mode (``voice=NAME``): a voice configured on the server
-      (``voice_presets`` or ``voice_dir`` in its config, e.g. a cloning
-      reference). The name is validated against GET /v1/audio/voices at
-      startup because an unresolvable name would silently fall back to
-      plain TTS on a clone-based model instead of failing. When
-      AUDIOCPP_CLONE_MODEL_ID names a second server entry of the same
-      family (typically the Qwen Base model), preset requests are routed
-      to it. Only the entry actually used needs to exist on the server: a
-      clone-only (Base) server works for --voice runs, while speaker mode
-      on such a server fails with a hint to pass --voice.
-    - Voice design (task "vdes" entries, e.g. Qwen3-TTS VoiceDesign): the
-      voice is described in natural language through ``instructions``,
-      which is required and sent with every request (no ``voice`` field).
-      A constant per-run seed keeps the designed voice consistent across
-      chunk boundaries.
-
-    ``instructions`` also works on non-design entries, where it acts as a
-    generic style/delivery instruction (voice control): families that read
-    it (OmniVoice, Qwen3-TTS CustomVoice, ...) shape the voice or delivery
-    accordingly, and others ignore it. On instruction-conditioned families
-    without built-in speakers it may replace --voice entirely (the
-    instruction defines the voice). Extra request options (``--option
-    KEY=VALUE``, e.g. emotion, voice_id, speed) are forwarded verbatim in
-    the request's "options" object, which is the server's generic
-    pass-through for per-model controls.
-
-    Chunking: the server does its own long-form text chunking for every
-    family (its ``text_chunk_size`` option, with a per-family default), so
-    by default each chapter is sent as a single request and the audio
-    comes back already stitched. With ``chunk_text=True`` (the --chunk CLI
-    flag), text is instead split client-side into CHUNK_SIZE-word
-    sub-requests, which may needlessly double-chunk — the warning is
-    printed by the CLI.
-
-    Each response is a complete WAV file, so sub-request audio is
-    concatenated with the same lossless path used for the Qwen client.
