Making TTS seams inaudible: prosody continuity and silence boundaries for long-form narration

Splitting a long article by sentence and synthesizing each piece leaves audible seams: prosody resets at every sentence start, clicks appear at PCM joints, and pauses feel uneven. Four layers -- context priming, zero-crossing edge fades, punctuation-aware silence, and an idempotent seam ledger -- make the joins disappear, with full code.
