feat(voice): improve Romanian STT — hallucination gate + finetuned model

Gemma 4 cloud audio was infeasible (31b-cloud has no audio; E4B broken
upstream, no deploy host), so improve faster-whisper instead.

- Pin temperature=0.0 to disable the fallback ladder that re-decoded unclear
  audio up to 6x (source of the 16-24s latency outliers); reject hallucinated
  segments via avg_logprob/compression_ratio in the new pure _filter_segments.
- Adopt mikr/whisper-small-ro-cv11 (CT2 int8) via configurable voice.stt_model:
  spike showed WER 24%->10%, numbers fixed at source, +0.33s p50 (in budget).
- Add tools/voice_stt_mine.py (log mining) + tools/voice_stt_spike.py (model
  eval with diacritic scoring) + tests for the gate and miner.

"""Mine logs/voice_stt_log.jsonl for STT correction candidates.
Read-only analysis tool. Surfaces what the always-on STT log has captured so
Marius can decide hotwords, spot recurring mistranscriptions, and judge whether
a model swap (e.g. a Romanian-finetuned Whisper) actually helps.
Pure helpers (tokenize / aggregate) are importable and tested; the CLI just
prints reports. Tolerates rows written before the `text_corrected` field
existed (falls back to `text`).
Usage:
python3 tools/voice_stt_mine.py # full report
python3 tools/voice_stt_mine.py --tokens # token frequency only
python3 tools/voice_stt_mine.py --rare # one-off tokens (candidates)
python3 tools/voice_stt_mine.py --suspect # likely hallucination rows
python3 tools/voice_stt_mine.py --log PATH # custom log path

"""STT model spike — compare faster-whisper models on Romanian diacritic accuracy.
Answers the autoplan D1 question: does a Romanian-finetuned whisper-small beat the
generic `small` on diacritics WITHOUT regressing latency? Synthesizes clean RO
audio via Supertonic (ground-truth text known, with diacritics), runs each model,
and scores diacritic preservation + word error rate + latency.
This is an evaluation harness, not production code. Synthetic TTS audio is a clean
probe for diacritic behaviour specifically — it is NOT a proxy for real-mic acoustic
robustness, so weight latency + diacritics, not absolute WER.
