+"""Registry of the TTS backends the audiobook generator can talk to.
+
+Each backend (audio.cpp, qwen, faster) lives in its own module and owns
+its setup wizard, its status detection, and the launch command it prints
+once configured. This package aggregates them into a single registry so
+``audiobook.py``'s TUI hub and future tools can iterate backends without
+hardcoding their names: ``backends.detect_all()`` reports which are set
+up, and ``backends.REGISTRY`` drives the hub's setup/modify menus.
+
+Adding a backend: create ``backends/<name>.py`` exposing
+``detect() -> BackendStatus``, ``run_tui() -> int`` and
+``modify_actions: list[ModifyAction]``, then append a ``BackendInfo`` in
+``_build_registry`` below. ``audiobook.py`` and the hub pick it up
+automatically.
