feat(voice): add persona-driven tts and qq local media upload

 - `/skill` currently supports `search`, `install`, `uninstall`, `list`, and `update`. Keep subcommand dispatch in `nanobot/agent/loop.py`.
 - `/mcp` supports the default `list` behavior (and explicit `/mcp list`) to show configured MCP servers and registered MCP tools.
 - `/status` should return plain-text runtime info for the active session and stay wired into `/help` plus Telegram's command menu/localization coverage.

 - nanobot does not expose local files over HTTP. If a feature needs a public URL for local files, provide your own static file server and point config such as `mediaBaseUrl` at it.
 - Generated screenshots, downloads, and other temporary user-delivery artifacts should be written under `workspace/out`, not the workspace root. Treat that as the generic delivery-artifact root for tools, MCP servers, and skills.
-- QQ outbound media sends remote `http(s)` image URLs directly. For local QQ images, try `file_data` upload first. If `mediaBaseUrl` is configured, keep the URL-based path available as a fallback for SDK/runtime compatibility; without it, there is no URL fallback.
+- QQ outbound media can send remote rich-media URLs directly. For local QQ media under `workspace/out`, use direct `file_data` upload only; do not rely on URL fallback for local files. Supported local QQ rich media are images, `.mp4` video, and `.silk` voice.
+- `channels.voiceReply` currently adds TTS attachments on supported outbound channels such as Telegram, and QQ when the configured TTS endpoint returns `silk`. Preserve plain-text fallback when QQ voice requirements are not met.
+- Voice replies should follow the active session persona. Build TTS style instructions from the resolved persona's prompt files, and allow optional persona-local overrides from `VOICE.json` under the persona workspace (`<workspace>/VOICE.json` for default, `<workspace>/personas/<name>/VOICE.json` for custom personas).
+- `channels.voiceReply.url` may override the TTS endpoint independently of the chat model provider. When omitted, fall back to the active conversation provider URL. Keep `apiBase` accepted as a compatibility alias.
 - `/skill` shells out to `npx clawhub@latest`; it requires Node.js/`npx` at runtime.
 - `/skill uninstall` runs in a non-interactive context, so keep passing `--yes` when shelling out to ClawHub.
 - Treat empty `/skill search` output as a user-visible "no results" case rather than a silent success. Surface npm/registry failures directly to the user.

+### Optional: Voice Replies
+
+Enable `channels.voiceReply` when you want nanobot to attach a synthesized voice reply on
+supported outbound channels such as Telegram. QQ voice replies are also supported when your TTS
+endpoint can return `silk`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "channels": {
+    "voiceReply": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "channels": ["telegram"],
+      "url": "https://your-tts-endpoint.example.com/v1",
+      "model": "gpt-4o-mini-tts",
+      "voice": "alloy",
+      "instructions": "keep the delivery calm and clear",
+      "speed": 1.0,
+      "responseFormat": "opus"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`voiceReply` currently adds a voice attachment while keeping the normal text reply. For QQ voice
+delivery, use `responseFormat: "silk"` because QQ local voice upload expects `.silk`. If `apiKey`
+and `apiBase` are omitted, nanobot falls back to the active provider credentials; use an
+OpenAI-compatible TTS endpoint for this.
+`voiceReply.url` is optional and can point either to a provider base URL such as
+`https://api.openai.com/v1` or directly to an `/audio/speech` endpoint. If omitted, nanobot uses
+the current conversation provider URL. `apiBase` remains supported as a legacy alias.
+
+Voice replies automatically follow the active session persona. nanobot builds TTS style
+instructions from that persona's `SOUL.md` and `USER.md`, so switching `/persona` changes both the
+text response style and the generated speech style together.
+
+If a specific persona needs a fixed voice or speaking pattern, add `VOICE.json` under the persona
+workspace:
+
+- Default persona: `<workspace>/VOICE.json`
+- Custom persona: `<workspace>/personas/<name>/VOICE.json`
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "voice": "nova",
+  "instructions": "sound crisp, confident, and slightly faster than normal",
+  "speed": 1.15
+}
+```
