Fix tonight's show issues: Whisper bias, boring callers, Devon, short responses

- Remove caller names from Whisper hint (was corrupting transcriptions)
- Background gen switched to Claude Sonnet 4.6 (cheap models = thin backgrounds)
- "WHAT MAKES A GOOD CALLER" rewritten with concrete examples
- Grok guardrails loosened (were cutting too much edge)
- Response length guidance added to caller prompt
- Retry under-20-word responses once for more detail
- Devon monitor softened from "default silence" to balanced
- Ban stalling phrases: "where was I", "as I was saying", etc.
