Richard R dae97b2afc docs(admin,config,tts): document admin panel for runtime TTS provider and feature config
Add a dedicated Admin Panel documentation page detailing management of shared TTS providers and site features via the admin UI. Update all TTS provider guides, environment variable references, and deployment docs to clarify the new runtime configuration model: environment variables serve as first-boot seeds only, with ongoing management handled through the admin interface. Revise sidebars and cross-links to include the new admin panel docs and clarify the distinction between legacy env-based and admin-managed configuration.

Notes

  • Built-in Replicate models:
    • alphanumericuser/kokoro-82m:89b6fa84e4fa2dd6bd3a96be3e1f12827a3516c9fda8fddbac7a0be131c9a6f5

    • inworld/tts-1.5-mini
  • You can also choose Other and enter any Replicate model ID (for example owner/model-name or owner/model-name:version).
  • Native model speed is not available on all Replicate models; OpenReader hides/disables native speed controls where unsupported.
  • TTS requests are sent from the server, not the browser. The API key is never exposed to clients.
