## Summary Follow-up to #170 — the README was updated to the three-engine lineup, but the same stale "Piper + optional Python Silero" description remained in other docs: - `docs/index.md` — intro and stack table now list all three engines; removed dead links to `RewriteNotes.md` / `RewriteTaskPlan.md` / `task_history.md` (files no longer exist); spec list synced with the actual `openspec/specs/` contents - `AGENTS.md` — overview lists Piper (default), `silero-native` (in-process ONNX Runtime), `ttsd` (fallback); slim/full build description corrected - `ai/rules/conventions.md` — engine roles updated - `docs/development.md` — `tts/` covers all engines, `silero-native/` added to the layout tree, slim build no longer described as linking `ttsd` - `docs/install.md` — Python section is explicitly only for the `ttsd` engine - `justfile` — slim/full build comments Docs-only change.

Summary
The README still described the pre-#166 engine lineup (Piper + optional Python Silero) and never mentioned a key product property — that narration is fully local. This brings both language versions up to date:
