Key gotchas

• Param is `input` NOT `text` — passing {text: "..."} returns empty code silently for soundex, crashes metaphone with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading toUpperCase)
• Soundex codes are always 4 chars — first letter + 3 digits, padded with zeros (Robert → R163, Smith → S530)
• Similar-sounding names match — Robert/Rupert → R163, Smith/Smythe → S530, Ashcraft/Ashcroft → A226
• Metaphone is lowercase — returns lowercase consonant codes (Robert → rbrt, knight/night → nt)
• Metaphone handles silent letters — knight → nt (silent k), Philippines → flpns (ph → f)
• No double_metaphone — only 2 tools, not 3; if you need Double Metaphone, use a different server
• Empty string returns empty code — no error, just {code: ""}
• First call ~46ms (JIT) — subsequent calls 2-7ms, p50=4ms across 16 calls
