fix: Improve fallback handling and prevent TTS errors v0.5.4

- Shortened WebSocket timeout to 5s for faster fallback
- Fixed fallback message to be TTS-friendly instead of technical details
- Ensured HTTP fallback is properly attempted before final fallback
- Better error messages to distinguish WebSocket vs HTTP failures
- Prevents "STT fallback: Large audio file" from being sent to TTS
