Subject: [PATCH] fix(voice): align local user homeUserId fallback with null
 contract

The isLocal branch was falling through to cachedUser.id when
homeUserId was null, diverging from the null-for-home-instance
contract used by the memberMatch and carry-forward branches.
Avatar.tsx already falls back to user.id internally.
