libs/converse gains a default-on `tts` feature so gamemaker and route are
unaffected; Arcade takes default-features = false and re-enables it through
its existing `voice` feature. With tts off, SpeechOutput still exists and its
worker drains the queue silently, so no Arcade source changes were needed —
which also avoided colliding with concurrent edits to those files. No
capability is lost: speech is fully reachable under --features voice.
Arcade before 25.11 MB
Arcade after (default) 15.01 MB (-10.10 MB, -40%)
Arcade --features voice 26.18 MB
hello_world 13.46 MB
Isolated by A/B in a throwaway worktree before making the real change. Of the
10.1 MB, 2.78 MB is us_lexicon.bin embedded via include_bytes!; __const alone
was 11.2 MB, larger than __text.
Also: Kokoro construction is now lazy, deferring ~327 MB until first
utterance. That already closed the RSS gap this pass was chasing — Arcade's
max RSS measures 190 MB against hello_world's 222 MB on the same method, i.e.
BELOW the baseline app, so the premised memory problem no longer exists and
was not invented into one. The lean-isolate prelude was likewise dropped after
instrumentation showed Arcade allocates no script isolate on the demo path at
all; it should be re-measured against a loaded script game before anyone
spends effort there.

New makepad-converse crate: SpeechOutput/Playback moved out of gamemaker
(mix_into for custom audio callbacks, install_audio_output convenience);
TranscriptFilter trait + PassthroughFilter + FilterWorker thread (filters
built on the worker via factory since LlamaSession is not Send);
ConversePipeline wiring filter -> makepad_ai agent backend -> speech with a
ConverseAction stream, llm leg pluggable (claude-code / acp /
openai-compatible base_url for local servers). QwenFilter behind the
local-llm feature: chatml prompt, non-thinking prefill, greedy, SEND:/SKIP:
line protocol, fail-open parse; filter-repl bin for interactive testing.
Gamemaker's speech leg now uses the crate; its agent plumbing stays local.
