Audiobook Builder export

Plotweaver writes book.vxbook, the Voxprint Book package Audiobook Builder imports. The manifest records generator and created_by as plotweaver plus the app version, and source.format as plotweaver. Each non-narrator paragraph carries a vx:speaker directive with src="auto" when the canon store inferred the speaker. speakers.json lists gender, age group, and voice hints from the story bible. A cover, when the suite mark decodes, is cover.avif. Yo (ё) is restored from a short unambiguous dictionary. The word все is not rewritten to всё. Stress is the combining acute U+0301 taken from the story bible pronunciation field, longer surfaces first. A word that already carries the acute is left alone.

plotweaver vxbook validate FILE runs the format checklist, including sound extension v1 when sound.json is present. Offset mismatches are warnings. A major version this build does not know is refused.

plotweaver sound add FILE -o book.sound.vxbook reads a project or a .vxbook and writes a new archive. The original stays as it was. The new file is VXBOOK v1.1 + sound extension v1: extensions lists sound/1, format_version is 1.1, and sound.json holds scene moods and cues. Prompts are English. Inferred cues use src="auto" and conf. A re-run keeps scenes and cues marked src="user" and drops sound-cast.json overrides whose cue disappeared. Plotweaver does not generate audio and does not write the inline vx:sound mirror unless --mirror is set. --sound on run does the same step at the end of a book.

--speaker-marks also writes the legacy pair from that .vxbook. audiobook/book.md keeps chapter headings and paragraphs. audiobook/speaker-marks.txt has one numbered line per paragraph (1. NARRATOR, 2. MALE: Name, 3. FEMALE: Name). A character with no gender becomes NARRATOR.

EPUB 3 (book.epub) is always written beside book.vxbook, with a navigation document and the suite cover. FictionBook 2.1 (--fb2, book.fb2), DOCX (--docx), and Markdown (--markdown, book.md) are optional. The window has the same checkboxes. overlap-report.json is written with every export.
