Vance Ingalls 37404f23da feat(whisper+captions): language detection, audio-reactive captions, multilingual defaults (#175)
## Summary

**Whisper improvements:**
- Auto-detect language and switch from `.en` to multilingual model when needed
- Detect speech onset in WAV to strip hallucinated words before speech begins
- Merge whisper-cpp token fragments: contractions (`didn` + `'t` → `didn't`), split capitals (`C` + `aught` → `Caught`), dropped-g (`shin` + `in'` → `shinin'`)
- Interpolate zero-duration word clusters for reliable karaoke timing

**Captions skill updates (folded from #176):**
- Rewrite script-to-style mapping as an energy detection table (high → low) with mandatory animation requirements: karaoke baseline, 2+ highlight techniques, kinetic exits
- Replace `tl.call()` per-frame audio-reactive pattern with group-level GSAP tweens — read peak bass/treble for each group's time range and modulate entrance intensity at build time
- Add transcript quality check with automatic retry rules (>20% music tokens = retry with larger model)
- Add caption word structure lint rule (`.caption-group` + `<span>`) for studio editor compatibility

**Multilingual defaults (folded from #186):**
- Default whisper model changed from `small.en` to `small` to prevent silent translation of non-English audio
- Added non-negotiable language rule to captions skill

## Test plan

- [ ] `pnpm test` passes (contraction merging, fragment merging, zero-duration interpolation, speech onset)
- [ ] Transcribe non-English audio — verify it transcribes in original language, not translates
- [ ] Skill files render correctly, cross-references resolve
- [ ] `dynamic-techniques.md` audio-reactive section uses `tl.to()`/`tl.set()` only, no `tl.call()` loops
