-- Per-character voice assignment for multi-voice audiobook rendering. -- A NULL voice_id means "use the story's default narrator voice for -- this character's dialogue" (effectively no voice change vs the -- narrator). A non-NULL voice_id pins the character's dialogue to -- that specific voice. -- -- slug is the stable lowercase token the narrate_prep pass uses -- inside [voice:]...[/voice] markers. Distinct from name so -- "Anatoly Dyatlov" can carry slug "dyatlov" without re-deriving on -- every render. ALTER TABLE characters ADD COLUMN voice_id uuid REFERENCES voices(id) ON DELETE SET NULL, ADD COLUMN slug text; CREATE INDEX idx_characters_voice ON characters(voice_id) WHERE voice_id IS NOT NULL; CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_characters_story_slug ON characters(story_id, slug) WHERE slug IS NOT NULL;
