668 random names instead of 152 (GRYT-1697) - #34

Conversation
A new device on the community server came up as "Gold", and the server already had two. With 152 names that's expected: a server of 30 people has about a 94% chance that two of them share a name. 668 names bring a room of ten down to about 7%. Bigger rooms will still double up, and the name tags already tell those apart. 516 new names, under the same rules as before: one capitalised English word of 12 letters or fewer, nouns only, and nothing that reads as a person's name. Robin, Ivy, Rowan, Brook, Cliff and Heath were left out for that reason, and Moor, Chinook and Kiwi because they name peoples. The new categories are birds; reptiles, amphibians and insects; food; and things. The size test now asks for at least 600. Only a device with no name yet picks one, so nobody who is already Gold changes. The desktop and phone pin `@gryt/core` exactly, so this reaches them after a release and a pin bump.

…818) A new device on the community server came up as "Gold", and the server already had two. Core 0.16.1 (Gryt-chat/core#34) grows the pool new devices pick a name from to 668. Nothing else changed between 0.16.0 and 0.16.1, and the dependencies are the same. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
