Changed
- Add-on metadata — Version is read with `C_AddOns.GetAddOnMetadata` when the API exists, with a fallback to `GetAddOnMetadata` on older clients.
- Language hint — After changing the language in settings, the chat message uses the active locale string instead of hard-coded English.
- Auto keyword for character name — The logic runs on `PLAYER_LOGIN` and `PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD` until `UnitName("player")` is available, then stops for the rest of the session (no repeated work on every zone load).

Fixed
- SavedVariables edge case — If `SayMyNameDB.keywords` was missing from saved data, it is restored as an empty table on login; `PLAYER_LOGOUT` no longer assumes `keywords` is always present.
- Alert sound — Invalid or missing sound IDs fall back to the configured default (then raid warning), and `PlaySound` is wrapped so a bad kit ID cannot break the chat filter pipeline.
- Keyword “Test” button — Preview sound reads the current row from `SayMyNameDB` so it stays in sync if the stored entry changes without rebuilding the row.
