Description

Generate katakana/hiragana-friendly aliases from AniList romanized character names so subtitle katakana names like カズマ match character dictionary entries even when AniList native name is kanji.

Acceptance Criteria

• #1 AniList character dictionary generation adds kana aliases for romanized names when native name is not already kana-only
• #2 Generated dictionary entries allow katakana subtitle names like カズマ to resolve against a kanji-native AniList character entry
• #3 Regression tests cover alias generation and resulting term bank output

Final Summary

Added katakana aliases synthesized from AniList romanized character names during character dictionary generation, so kanji-native entries such as 佐藤和真 / Satou Kazuma now also emit terms like カズマ and サトウカズマ with hiragana readings. Added regression coverage verifying generated term-bank output for the Konosuba case.

Verified with bun test src/main/character-dictionary-runtime.test.ts and bun run tsc --noEmit.
