voice provider '{}' does not support STT (capability: {})

Error message

voice provider '{}' does not support STT (capability: {})

What it means

The slug resolved to a configured voice provider, but its capability flags do not include STT (e.g. a TTS-only provider selected for transcription). Fails before provider construction; the message reports the actual capability.

Solutions

1. Select a provider whose capability includes STT
