refactor: clean unused imports (ruff F401/F811), fix build_tts_context defaults

- Remove 77 unused imports across domain/application/runner files via ruff
- Add # noqa: F401 to re-exports used by tests and debug_tts_runner
- Fix build_tts_context: usage_counter uses 'is not None' instead of truthiness
- Fix test assertions: compiled rules use 'replacement' key not 'pronunciation'
- Add re-exports: _compile_pronunciation_rules, _merge_pronunciation_overrides
