feat(reader): voice modal with search, chapter search, comments collapse, audio stream fix

- ListeningMode: replace inline voice dropdown with full-screen modal + voice search - ListeningMode: add chapter search box (shown when > 6 chapters) + click-to-play via autoStartChapter - CommentsSection: collapse by default when empty, auto-expand once comments load - AudioPlayer: always use streaming endpoint for Kokoro/PocketTTS (backend deduplicates via AudioExists)
feat: add AI Jobs admin page, cache model lists, improve image-gen 502 UX

Admin	222627a18c	refactor: clean up chapter reader UI — nav, audio, lang switcher, bottom CTA - Consolidate top nav into a single row: ← back \| ← → chapter arrows \| settings gear Removes the duplicate prev/next buttons that appeared at both top and bottom - Language switcher moved inline into chapter meta line (after word count); lock icons made smaller and less distracting for free users; removes the separate "Upgrade to Pro" text link - Audio player wrapped in a collapsible "Listen to this chapter" panel; auto-expands if audio is already playing for the chapter, collapsed otherwise so content is immediately visible on page load - Bottom nav redesigned: next chapter is a full-width card CTA with hover accent, previous is a small secondary text link — clear visual hierarchy - Remove floating gear button (settings now triggered from top nav settings icon) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-05 17:57:44 +05:00
