Mike Swanson 4c89402df8 radio: skip Clay profile build (failed) — accept 2015-s7e19 Q&A as noisy ...

First attempt at Clay's voice profile from 2015-s7e19 produced
Clay-vs-Mike cosine similarity of 0.994 — essentially a Mike clone.
Root cause: 10s WavLM x-vector chunks averaged Mike's frequent
interjections together with Clay's dialogue, and Mike's well-trained
profile dominated the resulting embedding signal.

Mike's call: skip Clay, accept the 2015-s7e19 Q&A as noisy. Clay rarely
appears in other episodes, so the cost of not having his profile is
bounded to this one episode plus any rare future appearances.

Cleanup:
- voice-profiles/clay/ removed
- voice-profiles/profiles.json: Clay entry removed
- Memory updated to record the decision and the failure mode

Kept build_clay_profile.py in-repo as documentation of the attempt and
the Mike-similarity-filter pattern. Useful starting point if a future
attempt provides cleaner pure-Clay timestamps.
