feat: Overhaul application and add DX improvements

This commit introduces a wide range of improvements to the application, focusing on stability, developer experience (DX), and documentation.

Key changes include:

- **Fix Application Startup:** Resolved a critical bug where the FastAPI application instance was not correctly exposed, preventing Uvicorn from starting ().
- **Simplify Docker Compose:** Removed the integrated Traefik setup from the default  to support users with existing reverse proxies and simplify the local development environment.
- **Improve Makefile:**
    - Implemented a robust, automatic port-finding mechanism for Starting development environment on port 8001...

- **Update Documentation:**
    - Replaced the outdated  (which contained old source code) with a comprehensive guide covering setup, usage, and  commands.
    - Added a note to  to clarify that it describes an older, more advanced setup, pointing readers to the new  for the current recommended workflow.

These changes address the service startup failures and significantly improve the project's usability and maintainability.

-Version: v0.0.7
 
-Description:
+AudioEngineHub is a local-first, modular, multi-engine Text-to-Speech (TTS) server designed for homelabs and automation. It provides a single, unified API to interact with various TTS engines like Piper and StyleTTS.
-  Adds /speakers endpoint to list speakers for a given engine/model.
-  Returns list of available speakers from engine.list_voices(model).
-  All previous endpoints and logic included.

+# Session Resumee - AudioEngineHub Project Refactoring
+
+**Date:** Donnerstag, 4. Dezember 2025
+
+**Objective:** Refactor the AudioEngineHub project to follow best practices for containerization, error handling, and project structure, based on a provided `guide.md` document.
+
+---
+
+### Initial Project State & Overview
+
+The project was a modular FastAPI-based TTS server with a `TTSEngineBase` interface. Key initial findings:
+*   `piper` was functional.
+*   `styletts` and `chattts` were dummy implementations.
+*   `f5_tts` was implemented but inactive.
+*   Configuration was scattered and hardcoded.
+*   Error handling was basic.
+*   Tests (`pytest` and `unittest`) existed but were limited and inconsistent.
+*   No containerization strategy was in place, leading to potential dependency hell.
+
+### Refactoring Phase 1: Robustness & Configuration
+
+1.  **Centralized Configuration:**
+    *   Replaced hardcoded values with `pydantic-settings` for `.env` file management.
+    *   `config.py` created (later moved to `app/config.py`).
+    *   `IMAGE_NAME` in `Makefile` was also user-configurable.
+    *   `requirements.txt` was updated with `pydantic-settings`.
+    *   `docker-compose.yml` was updated to use `.env`.
+
+2.  **Configurable Engines Feature:**
+    *   Implemented dynamic `ENGINE_REGISTRY` loading based on `ACTIVE_ENGINES` setting in `.env`.
+    *   Allows easy activation/deactivation of TTS engines.
+
+3.  **Robust Error Handling:**
+    *   Implemented comprehensive input validation in the `/tts` endpoint (checking engine, model, speaker existence).
+    *   Added dependency checks (e.g., `ffmpeg`, `piper` executables) to engines, reporting `HTTP 503` for unavailable engines.
+    *   Secured `tempfile.mktemp` usage by replacing it with `tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile`.
+    *   Wrapped synthesis logic in `try-except` blocks to catch and propagate engine-specific errors as `HTTP 500`.
+
+4.  **Asynchronous Operations:**
+    *   Changed `TTSEngineBase.synthesize` and `selftest` to `async`.
+    *   Refactored all concrete engine implementations (`piper`, `f5_tts`, `styletts`, `chattts`) to use `async def` methods.
+    *   Updated `app/main.py`'s `/tts` endpoint to be `async` and use `await` for engine calls and `asyncio.gather` for concurrent chunk synthesis.
+    *   Wrapped blocking I/O (file ops, `ffmpeg`) and CPU-bound tasks in `asyncio.to_thread`.
+    *   Updated `tests/test_f5_tts.py` to correctly `await` async calls.
+
+### Refactoring Phase 2: Containerization & Workflow (Based on `guide.md`)
+
+1.  **Integrated `Makefile`:**
+    *   Created a `Makefile` with targets for `build`, `run`, `stop`, `logs`, `shell`, `up`, `down`, `test`, `tag`, `push`, `clean`, `help`.
+    *   Included robust shell functions for port checking (`check_traefik_ports_free`, `check_app_port_free`).
+    *   Set `SHELL := /bin/bash` in `Makefile` to ensure correct shell interpretation.
+    *   Ensured `PYTHONPATH=$(PWD)` is set for `make test`.
+
+2.  **Adopted Multi-Stage `Dockerfile`:**
+    *   Implemented a multi-stage `Dockerfile` (builder/runner stages).
+    *   `builder` stage creates a Python virtual environment and installs `requirements.txt` (including `gunicorn`).
+    *   `runner` stage uses `python:3.11-slim`, installs runtime system dependencies (`ffmpeg`), creates an unprivileged `appuser`, and sets the production `CMD` to `gunicorn` with `uvicorn` workers.
+
+3.  **Refactored Project Structure (`app/` package):**
+    *   Created an `app/` directory.
+    *   Moved `main.py`, `config.py`, `engines/`, `models/`, `utils/` into `app/`.
+    *   Created `app/__init__.py`.
+    *   Updated all Python import paths (`from app.config import settings`, `from app.engines.piper import PiperEngine`, etc.).
+    *   Updated internal references in engine files (e.g., `model_dir`, `voices_dir`).
+
+4.  **Refined `docker-compose.yml` with Traefik:**
+    *   Integrated `traefik` service for dynamic reverse proxying during local development.
+    *   Modified `app` service with Traefik `labels` and connected both services to a `web` network.
+    *   Adjusted Docker `volumes` mounts to match the new `app/` structure (e.g., `./models:/home/appuser/app/models`).
+    *   Updated `app` service `command` for Uvicorn hot-reloading in dev.
+
+5.  **Centralized Testing Workflow:**
+    *   Removed `test_run.sh`.
+    *   Integrated `make test` for running `pytest --cov=. app/ tests/`.
+
+6.  **Dedicated Documentation:**
+    *   Created `docs/` directory.
+    *   Moved `guide.md` to `docs/guide.md`.
+
+### Verification & Troubleshooting
+
+*   **Tests:** All unit/integration tests (`make test`) are passing.
+*   **Local Run (Virtual Env):** Initial local runs (`python app/main.py`) failed due to `ModuleNotFoundError` (fixed by `python -m app.main`) and `PermissionError` (fixed by needing to mock or redirect `settings.AUDIO_CACHE_DIR` for local direct execution, but not strictly needed for successful app execution through `uvicorn`). The current approach is to verify in Docker.
+*   **Docker Compose:**
+    *   Initial `make up` failures were due to an outdated `docker-compose` client (`1.29.2`) and later, `Makefile` syntax issues (fixed by setting `SHELL := /bin/bash` and fixing macros).
+    *   `docker-compose` was eventually updated to the `docker compose` CLI plugin (v5.0.0).
+    *   `make up` command finally succeeded in bringing up containers.
+    *   The `curl http://localhost/health` command returned `404 page not found`. This indicates a potential routing issue with Traefik or the application not being responsive on the expected path within the container. (This is the last unresolved issue).
+
+---
+
+**Next Steps (Troubleshooting the 404):**
+
+The `404 page not found` when accessing `http://localhost/health` via Traefik is the current blocker for full verification. I need to investigate the logs of the `audio-engine-hub_app` container (the FastAPI app) to determine if the application itself is starting correctly and serving the `/health` endpoint as expected. If the app is indeed serving, the issue lies with Traefik's routing configuration.
