fix(voice): relax backend timeout and surface timeout errors

Bumps the proxy timeout to 5 minutes (VOICE_TIMEOUT_MS) since local TTS can
synthesize long messages at roughly real-time, and returns a clear timed-out
message (504) instead of failing silently. The read-aloud button now shows
backend errors.
