337eca2d53 Add 4 more video-guide clips covering core new-user onboarding
connect-decoder, add-drivers-cars, create-race, and run-a-session join the 3 existing
tab-focused clips, so the video guides now cover the actual first-run path a new user
hits, not just this session's UI restructuring.

record-video-guides.mjs gained a prepare() hook (for clips needing a live dependency,
like a fake decoder socket, before the app is seeded) and a clickNav() helper that
exercises the app's real client-side navigation instead of a full page reload, so
switching views in a clip looks like the smooth transition a real user sees.

a17054d8d0 Switch the video guide narrator from espeak-ng to Piper (neural TTS)
espeak-ng's formant synthesis was reported as barely intelligible. Piper is a small
local neural TTS with the same offline, no-cloud-service properties but far more
natural speech; its default WAV output format already matched what the sync pipeline
assumed, so only the synthesis call itself needed to change.

788319d098 Add spoken narration to the video guide recorder
The clips were silent screen captures - the user's actual ask was for someone talking
through what's happening. Each clip step now carries a narration line synthesized
offline via espeak-ng; the recording paces itself to each line's real spoken duration,
and the final audio track is built from the real measured per-line start times (adelay +
amix) so narration and on-screen action stay in sync over a 30+ second clip instead of
drifting against an idealized schedule.

4967299b04 Add a video-guide recorder for the UI (Settings tabs, Event Manager tabs, Schedule panel)
CDP screencast -> ffmpeg -> MKV, driven against the same isolated server/browser pattern
the test suite already uses. Recorded three short clips demonstrating this session's tab
and schedule features; output goes to the gitignored video-guides/ folder rather than the
repo since these are sizeable binaries.
