fix: briefing TTS now uses saved voice/speed/blend settings

synthesiseSpeech() called without explicit params now omits voice/speed/
blend from the request body. The backend detects this and auto-loads all
three from the user's saved settings (voice_tts_voice, voice_tts_speed,
voice_tts_blend), so briefing listen mode respects the voice the user
configured in Settings.
