Two bugs, one cause each.
It read the previous answer. setBusy(false) is what announces
assistant-answer-done, and it ran before lastAnswer was assigned — so every
listener was handed the answer before last. It now fires after the answer exists
both in that variable and on the page. A test asserts the order, because the
order is the whole bug.
And it read the markdown. The better answer than unpicking the markup is not to
have any: the rendered bubble is already the answer with its headings, emphasis
and tables resolved, so voice mode reads that. It cannot drift from what the
reader is looking at, and it needs no rules about what "##" sounds like. Read
from a clone, with the parts that are not the answer removed — the action
buttons, the sources list, the follow-up suggestions, code blocks and tables —
so the page itself is untouched. A bubble still thinking is never read.
speakableText() stays as the fallback for when the bubble cannot be found, since
raw markdown read aloud is worse than silence.
Separately: e2e/seed.js hashed with bcrypt directly, so seeded accounts did not
exercise the argon2id path production writes. It uses the app's own hasher now.

Ending the call stopped listening and aborted the request but never stopped
playback, and the <audio> element was a local variable with no handle kept — so
nothing could stop it and the answer talked on until the page was reloaded.
conversationMode now holds whatever is speaking, whichever of the two players it
is, and hanging up silences it before anything else. Starting a new turn does
the same, because speaking over the previous answer is how an assistant talks
past you, and a reply that arrives after the overlay has closed no longer starts
talking into a closed call.
The other half: the raw answer went straight to the speaker. It is markdown, so
a browser voice reads "#" and "**" aloud or stumbles over them. speakableText()
now reduces it to what a person would read out — headings and bullets become
sentences, links keep their words, emphasis and code fences are dropped, tables
are dropped entirely because a table read aloud is noise, and a removed citation
marker leaves no gap before the punctuation it preceded.
