feat: Timmy Voice Batch 05 — 1K prompt-response pairs (#585)
Generate 1,000 prompt-response pairs in Timmy's voice for training.

- training-data/timmy-voice-batch05.jsonl (1,000 pairs)

- training-data/generate_timmy_voice_batch05.py (deterministic generator)

- training-data/README-batch05.md (batch documentation)

Quality: avg 0.83, threshold >= 0.80. 40% curated seeds, 60% synthetic.
