Allow customizing companion name

Feature Request
The companion dragon (currently hardcoded as "Waffle") should have a configurable name.
Use Case
Users who want to personalize their Claude Code experience should be able to rename the companion to something meaningful to them (e.g., "Guigui").
Proposed Solution
Add a companionName key to settings.json (or a dedicated companion config section) that allows users to set a custom name:
{
"companion": {
"name": "Guigui"
}
}
The system prompt and UI should then reference the configured name instead of the hardcoded default.
Alternatives Considered
- Addressing the companion by a different name in conversation works conversationally, but the UI and system prompt still reference "Waffle," creating a mismatch.
