"""The TUI hub for the audiobook generator (run via ``audiobook.py``).

The hub is the single entry point for the whole workflow: it detects which
backends are already set up and offers to convert the input directory with
one of them, or install/configure/remove a backend via the "Configure
backends" menu.

The entire hub runs in one curses session, driven by a single ``tui.Wizard``
stack of screens (the ``_Hub`` class below). Every menu/action is a screen
that returns the next screen, ``Wizard.BACK`` (Esc/q) to pop one screen, or
None to quit. Backend setup wizards and the conversion run view run as
opaque leaf screens on this same session; every long step — setup tails,
model downloads, server start/stop, and uninstall — runs inside the
``ui.taskview`` task view, so the user is never dropped to the console.
A leaf screen finishes by returning ``Wizard.BACK``, so
the stack lands back on the menu that launched it. Esc therefore steps back
exactly one screen everywhere — on the main menu (an empty stack) it quits.
'q' mirrors Esc on every screen that has no typed text.
