session.caller was reading name/voice from CALLER_BASES randomized defaults
instead of the slim bg dict — causing Silas to appear as "Earl" with wrong
voice. Now prefers bg data when populated.
Also: avatar endpoint infers gender from voice pool, /api/callers returns bg
name, regulars get canonical voice force-locked, batch gen splits into two
parallel calls with pre-warm so subsequent resets are instant.
