+- `GradiumTTSService` now sends a per-context `setup` message with `client_req_id` before the first text message for each TTS context, following Gradium's multiplexing protocol. Previously, a single setup message was sent at connection time without a `client_req_id`, which prevented Gradium from associating requests with their sessions when using `close_ws_on_eos=False`.
