Voices settings: "Paola" appears twice in the Pi catalog with nothing to tell the rows apart #474

Description

Founder tasting feedback on Patch A (#470), 2026-07-02.

The Pi catalog in the Voices settings UI lists "Paola" twice (the server catalog for pi genuinely contains two Paola variants with distinct ids). The in-host menu name-dedupes for its HD pair, but the settings catalog intentionally shows the full catalog — so the user sees two identical rows with no way to tell which is which.

Work:

  • Inspect the two Paola entries in the /voices response for pi (accent? language? description?) and surface whatever disambiguates them on the row (the row already renders voice.description when present — the Pi voices likely just don't carry one).
  • If the API genuinely returns indistinguishable metadata, decide between: labelling variants client-side (e.g. accent/locale suffix) or name-deduping the settings catalog as well. Coordinate with saypi-api if the right fix is richer metadata server-side (the planned /voices manifest work would carry it).
