feat(ai): default say skill to Mark voice, bump to 2.5.0
The previous default voice (Eric, mislabeled as Charlie) read as slightly unreal. Mark - Natural Conversations is the platform's most-used v3-verified conversational voice and sounded clearly more human in a live A/B. Stays on eleven_v3: flash v2.5 cut little perceived latency and sounded robotic by comparison, and v3 keeps audio-tag expressiveness. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
