 ### Fixes
 
+- Talk/TTS: resolve configured extension speech providers from the active runtime registry before provider-list discovery, so Talk mode no longer rejects valid plugin speech providers as unsupported.
 - Sessions/subagents: stop stale ended runs and old store-only child reverse links from reappearing in `childSessions`, while keeping live descendants and recently-ended children visible. Fixes #57920.
 - Subagents: stop stale unended runs from counting as active or pending forever, while preserving restart-aborted recovery for recoverable child sessions. Fixes #71252. Thanks @hclsys.
 - Gateway/tools: allow `POST /tools/invoke` to reach plugin-backed catalog tools such as `browser` when no core implementation exists, while still preferring built-in tools for real core names. Thanks @chat2way.
