Fixed default voice configuration in voice-server. The Pydantic NotifyRequest model had a hardcoded default voice that bypassed settings.default_voice from .env. Changed voice field to default=None so route handler uses settings. Also added EnvironmentFile directive to systemd service for reliable .env loading.
