Lotus CIandClaude Opus 5.5 3e69a18a39 fix(lotus): explain a failed voice connection and offer Try again
"Failed to connect to Livekit server (Reason: ServerUnreachable)" left a
user with nothing to try; they retried for a long time and gave up.

- Title "Couldn't connect to voice". The message depends on the reason:
  unreachable/timeout-style errors explain that voice needs its own live
  connection, which VPNs, antivirus web shields and some networks block,
  even when chat works, and say what to try; NotAllowed says the call may
  be full or access changed.
- The raw reason, status and message move under Technical details.
- LivekitConnectionError and PeerConnectionTimeoutError now get a
  Try again button (the existing reconnect path), shown as primary: the
  Lotus theme renders `secondary` as dark-on-dark.

Verified in the Lotus client against a local LiveKit with the signal
socket and validate request blocked: the dialog appears after ~20 s;
unblocking and pressing Try again joins with the mic published.
