Manual test reported the eSpeak NG dictation voice as unintelligible.
Formant synthesis is inherently mechanical; slowing it down doesn't
fix that. Switched tools/generate_dictation_audio.py to piper-tts
(fr_FR-siwis-medium neural voice, MIT/CC-BY 4.0, attribution in
assets/CREDITS.md). The voice model (~60MB) downloads once on demand
into the untracked .cache/piper-voices/, never at game runtime.
Adds piper-tts to tools/setup.sh's venv and a pyrightconfig.json
pointing pyright at .venv, needed once tools/ imports a real
third-party package (`make lint` was silently checking against the
wrong interpreter before).
Regenerated ce1_accord_adjectif_dictee_01.ogg with the new voice.

Manual testing confirmed the "La clairière de l'écho" dictée mission
was unplayable: no audio file existed yet (decisions.md point 8), so
there was nothing to listen to before transcribing the sentence.
Adds tools/generate_dictation_audio.py (offline eSpeak NG synthesis +
ffmpeg encoding to Ogg Vorbis, exposed as `make
generate-dictation-audio`) and uses it to generate
ce1_accord_adjectif_dictee_01.ogg. A new headless test
(tests/data/test_dictation_audio.gd) guards against future dictées
being added without regenerating their audio.

Wires every autoload up to a real UI: boot -> profile select/create
-> world map (three mission markers, positioned from data, not
hardcoded pixels) -> mission intro (narrative from data/missions/,
a new data type with its own schema) -> rule panel -> exercise host
-> one of the three exercise type scenes -> feedback panel -> reward
screen -> back to the map.
exercise_host is the only piece with real orchestration logic: picks
exercises via ExerciseEngine (now fully implemented, validating at
load like make validate-data does), validates answers through the
pure AnswerValidator/DictationAnalyzer, escalates aid over 3 attempts
via AttemptFlow, feeds DifficultyManager so adaptive difficulty is
actually wired in rather than dead code, and records every attempt
through ProgressManager. Every exercise-type scene (multiple_choice,
sentence_correction, dictation) only emits its answer by signal, per
the architecture invariant.
All child-facing text now comes from data/localization/fr.json via
UIText, not hardcoded in scripts or scenes. Getting that right
required extending SchemaValidator to support "additionalProperties"
as a schema (dynamic keys), which also closed a real gap: save.skills
was previously unvalidated against SkillState's actual shape.
16 new headless tests, including two integration tests that instance
exercise_host.tscn directly and drive it by emitting child-scene
signals, stopping short of the final scene transition (which would
tear down the test runner's own tree). Everything that needs a
screen -- layout at different sizes, touch, virtual keyboard, actual
audio playback (no .ogg files exist yet) -- is listed in the new
docs/testing/manual-checklist.md instead of claimed as verified.
