Reviewed as part of a bottom-up pass over the whole open stack (#119 to #168): commits read against the base branch, make test green at the top of the stack. Nothing to raise on this one. Merging.

Four findings landed on the PRs they belong to, none of them blocking: #167 (a duplicate rest-of-day-query grammar from the merge), #164 (four files the Russian sweep did not reach), #145 (sh -c hides an irreversible verb from the tier derivation), #128 (locationCandidates drops short city names).

piper reads a Russian sentence with a Russian voice, and a Latin service id
inside it comes out spelled, mangled or read as if it were a Russian word:
"Vikunja", "SearXNG", "homesrv". The lever available is the text, so the
dictionary maps a name to how it should be spelled for the voice to say it,
and mavttsd applies it at the last edge before piper — every caller's text
passes through that one point, and nothing upstream has to know how a name
sounds.

Data, not code. deploy/tts-lexicon.json ships 29 names; adding one needs a
restart of mavttsd and no rebuild of the daemon that produced the text. Off
unless -lexicon is set, like every other optional capability, and a path that
is set and unreadable stops startup — saying names wrong in silence is the
failure it exists to remove.

Two details worth keeping: the alternation is sorted longest-first, or "Home
Assistant" reads as "Хоум Assistant"; and the boundaries are written out
rather than left to \b, which is ASCII-only and never fires next to a
Cyrillic letter.
