madcat-core da04416ea4 feat: gpu-check probe + resident TTS daemon (serve)
Add two subcommands and the deps they need, shipped as madcat-say 0.1.0.

gpu-check (Sources/GpuCheck.swift)
  Queries the Metal device and runs a small MLX compute probe to verify
  the GPU pipeline + bundled mlx.metallib resolve before synth.

serve (Sources/Serve.swift)
  Loopback HTTP daemon (default 127.0.0.1:8765, Hummingbird). Loads
  VoxCPM2 once behind an actor (serializes the single GPU), warms the
  pipeline at boot, caches the last reference voice. Routes:
    GET  /health            -> {status,model,ready,uptime_s}
    POST /v1/audio/speech   {input|text, voice?, language?, timesteps?,
                             cfg?, prepad?} -> audio/wav
  Cuts warm synth to ~3.2s vs ~6.3s cold (in-process model load).

speak (Sources/MadcatSay.swift)
  Probes the daemon /health (0.6s) and forwards over HTTP when up;
  falls back to in-process load otherwise. New flags --daemon-port,
  --no-daemon.

Package.swift: add mlx-swift (GPU probe) and hummingbird 2.5..<2.17
  (HTTP only, no WebSocket — avoids the swift-websocket pin).

Makefile: resolve the metallib via `swift build --show-bin-path` on
  both packages instead of the triple-prefixed/symlink path, which is
  not always present in speech-swift.
