Pipeline challenges & fixes (part 3)

Image fetching was unreliable -> random, irrelevant images + strict rate limiting made it worse.

Also ran into issues with Ollama not starting consistently.

Solution:
Moved the pipeline to WSL -> both Ollama and the voice generator run significantly faster there.

Now using Ollama to:
• generate better keywords for image fetching
• create intro/outro
• act as a bridge between sections

To avoid conflicts, I explicitly shut down Ollama before running the voice generator, wait ~5 seconds, then start Kokoro.

Still the best voice output so far.

Slowly stabilizing the system.
