berd-call: show names for code-named Siri voices - #401
Merged

Conversation
Sixteen newer Siri voices (en-US-F, en-US-G, en-GB-C, de-DE-D, ...)
have a locale code as their catalog name, so `berd-call voices list`
and the menu bar showed codes. Each voice record now has a
`displayName`: the catalog `name`, or for a code-named voice "Siri"
plus the localized name macOS shows ("Siri Voice 7"). The bridge reads
it from the catalog resource's `localizedName`, since
AVSpeechSynthesisVoice hides Siri voices from non-Apple binaries.
Commands still take the exact `name`.

Their asset build paths (zack_v2_dual_prompt_with_fallback, gigi_test_2) name them, so show those names rather than "Siri Voice 7" and "Siri Voice 6". Other code-named voices keep "Siri Voice N".

Summary
Sixteen newer Siri voices have a locale code for a name: en-US-F, en-US-G, en-AU-C/D, en-GB-C/D, de-DE-C/D, fr-FR-C/D, it-IT-C/D, pt-PT-A/B and zh-CN-C/D.
berd-call voices listand the berd-call menu bar showed those codes, where macOS shows "Voice 7" or "Voice 6".Each
voices.listrecord now has adisplayName. It is the catalognamefor named voices (Aaron, Nora, Li-Mu). en-US-F and en-US-G are "Zack" and "Gigi", the names in their asset build paths (zack_v2_dual_prompt_with_fallback,gigi_test_2). The other code-named voices get "Siri" plus the name macOS shows, for example "Siri Voice 3" for en-GB-C. The menu bar uses it for each voice and for the current voice's heading. Commands and saved settings still use the exactname.The "Voice N" name comes from the Siri catalog entry's
localizedName. That entry is already read for the catalog, and it covers voices that aren't installed.AVSpeechSynthesisVoicewon't work here, because it doesn't list Siri voices to binaries Apple didn't sign. The build-path names appear only in installed asset plists, so Zack and Gigi are listed in a small table instead of being read at runtime. The other 14 voices have no name on the system: theSiriTTSServicevoice maps and the framework name tables give only the code, gender and the "Voice N" order.Related issue
N/A, none found.
Testing
berd-call voices list --language en-USshowsen-US-F → Zackanden-US-G → Gigi, with Aaron, Nora and Simone unchanged. Across all 49 catalog voices, only the 16 code-named ones change. The menu bar shows "Zack (en-US)" and a "Voice: Zack" heading.
