Research direction

Start at the media-session voice-search handling and trace how playlist names are resolved. Use SmartPlaylistId.Favourites as the target for the Favorites query; done means voice search for “play Favorites” resolves the Favourites smart playlist again.

Description

bug

After the favourite flag change (#497 slice, worktree-fix-497), Favorites is a smart playlist, so the media-session voice search that matched playlists by name no longer resolves 'play Favorites'. Route the query to SmartPlaylistId.Favourites.
