Three defects in internal/phraser, all of the shape "reports done when
nothing happened".
The reminder summary was cut in bytes: `len(s) > 60` and `s[:57]`, in two
copies (Stub.PhraseReminder and LLMPhraser.PhraseReminder). On Russian a
letter is two bytes, so the cut fell at about 28 letters instead of 60 and
landed inside a letter about half the time. Sendable.Summary is what
voicesink hands to piper and what the telegram sink posts, so the half rune
was spoken and sent. One rune-counting helper now, shared by both. The test
that covered this was ASCII, which is what let the arithmetic stand.
The evidence branch of PhraseQuery and the bare-prose tail of PhraseChat
both returned ("", nil) when the server answered and the model wrote no
tokens. The knowledge branch has guarded that with errEmptyResponse since it
was written; these two did not. The daemon's callers check for the empty
string and paper over it, so the visible cost was the eval, which scored a
silent model as bad phrasing rather than as a failure, and a log line that
never appeared.
Stub.PhraseReminder set no Mood. Its sibling PhraseNudge sets "neutral" and
says in a comment why: the Stub is a production fallback and owes the output
contract a value. The zero value is not one of the five moods.
No prompt and no spoken wording changed, so the phrasing eval is unmoved.
The summaries family is spoken by internal/memory, internal/morning and
internal/tasks. internal/phraser already imports internal/memory, so the
deck cannot stay in phraser without a cycle.
internal/say is a leaf: embed, json, math/rand, strings, sync. The four
phraser families keep their files and their floors and now call say.Load,
*say.Deck, Text, Matches, Variants, RequirePlaceholder and RegisterFloor.
No copy changed and no behaviour changed.
The accessors are functions now, so the call sites that compared against one
literal compare against the entry instead: IsUnknownFallback and
IsSourcesFallback in the daemon tests, the entry key in the phraser tests. A
reworded variant no longer breaks a Go test.
The eval scores every variant on the persona checks the nudges already pass.
Review of #108: "поговорили." reads as a summary of a conversation that did
not happen. One exported constant now, so the Stub, the LLMPhraser fallback
and the daemon all say the same thing.
internal/voice/replier.go keeps its own copy — that is the separate replier
seam, not this one.

PhraseChat and PhraseQuery returned canned text with a nil error, so a dead
or OOM-killed server was indistinguishable from bad phrasing — "не знаю." is
also a legitimate answer.
Both now return the fallback text AND the error. The daemon keeps using the
text, so the turn still survives; a measuring caller counts a real failure.
An empty response is its own error: the model is up and said nothing.
