Add make whisper-refs — re-transcribe cloned-voices/*.wav with whisper-large-v3
F5-TTS cloning quality depends on ref_text matching the prosody of ref_audio
(commas, periods, casing). Previous ref_texts were LibriSpeech ground-truth
labels: ALL CAPS, no punctuation — wrong signal for a flow-matching TTS
conditioned on text. Whisper hears what F5 will hear.

- scripts/whisper_refs.py — transcribe all wavs, rewrite
  voice_to_speaker.default.yaml + cloned-voices/voices_metadata.json
  in place. Also writes cloned-voices/whisper_refs.json sidecar.
- Makefile: whisper-refs target. Idempotent, rerun whenever
  cloned-voices/ changes.

Run on a GPU host (4090/3090). ~30s for 40 short clips on a 4090.

"""Transcribe cloned-voices/*.wav with whisper-large-v3 and write ref_texts.
Outputs:
- cloned-voices/whisper_refs.json (raw transcripts keyed by voice name)
- voice_to_speaker.default.yaml (ref_text rewritten in place)
- cloned-voices/voices_metadata.json (ref_text rewritten in place)
F5-TTS cloning quality depends on ref_text matching the prosody of ref_audio
(commas, periods, casing). LibriSpeech ground-truth labels are ALL CAPS with
no punctuation, which is the wrong signal for a flow-matching TTS conditioned
on text. Whisper hears what F5 will hear, so its transcript is the better ref.
Run on a GPU host (4090 / 3090). Idempotent: rerun any time cloned-voices/
changes. Use `make whisper-refs` rather than calling this directly.
