// in). Capping at 120 chars per request keeps F5 in single-chunk mode = clean

// (uncloseai-speech 831b937 + 015bbdf), so F5 no longer bleeds ref_audio into
// chunked output. Small first chunk gets MSE byte-streaming + fast TTFA on
// typical chat responses; larger subsequent chunks pipeline via PlaylistAudio.
