📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces a complete Text-to-Speech (TTS) feature for reading posts aloud. It adds the expo-speech dependency, creates TTS control and settings components, implements text extraction and settings persistence utilities, integrates TTS controls into the post screen and options menu, and provides localized UI strings.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Dependencies package.json	Added expo-speech (^14.0.8) for native TTS functionality.
TTS Components src/components/textToSpeech/ttsControls.tsx, src/components/textToSpeech/ttsSettingsSheet.tsx	New TTSControls component manages playback state (play/pause/stop) with loading and error feedback; TTSSettingsSheet provides ActionSheet UI for voice, rate, and pitch configuration with live testing and AsyncStorage persistence.
TTS Utilities src/utils/textToSpeech.ts, src/utils/ttsSettings.ts	Text extraction utility strips HTML/Markdown and normalizes content for TTS; settings utility manages AsyncStorage persistence and provides defaults for voice preferences.
Component Exports & Constants src/components/index.tsx, src/constants/options/post.ts	Exported TTSControls from component library; added 'voice' to post options array.
TTS Integration src/screens/post/screen/postScreen.tsx, src/screens/post/styles/postScreen.styles.tsx, src/components/postOptionsModal/container/postOptionsModal.tsx, src/navigation/sheets.tsx	Integrated TTSControls into post header alongside options button; added "voice" dropdown action that opens TTS_SETTINGS sheet; registered TTS_SETTINGS sheet with action-sheet module and updated type definitions.
Localization src/config/locales/en-US.json	Added English translations for voice option and TTS settings UI (voice, speed, pitch, test button, info text).
Points Feature Refactor src/containers/pointsContainer.ts, src/providers/queries/pointQueries.ts, src/providers/ecency/ePoint.ts	Migrated points data fetching from legacy endpoints to new SDK query; added transaction grooming, enhanced error handling, and updated getPointsHistory signature to accept optional type filter parameter.

Poem

🐰 A voice for the posts, now loud and clear,
With settings to tweak, the sound we hear!
From Markdown stripped, the words take flight,
Expo Speech whispers through day and night.
AsyncStorage keeps your preferences near! 🎙️
