hotbar: say what the key you pressed just did

Pressing a hotbar key ran hotkey.action(state), which for an equipment
binding calls an itemActions entry's onActivation directly -- Wield,
Drink, Switch on, Pack away. None of those reach console.print or a
popup; most only play a sound. So the whole hotbar was silent: no item
name, no verb, no confirmation the key had registered at all.

patches/hotbar.lua wraps the hotbar VIEW factory, not models/hotkey:
models/hotbar.lua captures newHotkey as a file-local at require time,
and models/world.lua captures newHotbar the same way, both long before
our entry point. views/hotbar.lua is required only by the three states,
which load lazily -- the same ordering argument as patches/slider.lua.

The verb is computed BEFORE the action runs. The itemAction conditions
key off item.isEquipped, which the action itself flips, so asked
afterwards they return the opposite verb and a press that wielded would
announce "Unwield".

Also narrates the empty slot, the silent no-applicable-action branch,
binding and unbinding (sound-only in game), and action-type slots. Says
nothing when the item is missing from the inventory -- the game prints
that itself and patches/console.lua speaks it.

78 testbed checks, 0 failures. The prologue gives the player no items,
so the live path is exercised by planting a torch, binding it to slot 1,
pressing 1 twice and putting the world back.

+### Done — hotbar keys 1–0 (bug fix, reported by Talon)
+
+**Symptom:** bind an item to the hotbar, press its key, and you hear the sound
+the action plays — and nothing else. No item name, no verb, no confirmation that
+the key registered at all.
+
+**Cause.** `views/hotbar.lua:checkKeypress` resolves the slot and calls
+`hotkey.action(state)` (`models/hotkey.lua`), which for an equipment binding
+looks up the applicable entry in `modules/item/itemActions.lua` and calls its
+`onActivation` **directly** — Wield, Unwield, Drink, Switch on, Pack away… None
+of those go through `console.print` or a popup; most only play a sound. So the
+whole hotbar was silent by construction.
+
+**`accessibility/patches/hotbar.lua`** (7th patch) wraps the hotbar **view**
+factory. Live text: `Torch, Wield` → `Torch, Unwield`.
+
+Decisions worth not relitigating:
+
+- **The view, not the model.** `models/hotbar.lua` captures `newHotkey` as a
+  file-local at require time, and `models/world.lua` captures `newHotbar` the
+  same way — both long before we run, so replacing `package.loaded` for either
+  would change nothing. `views/hotbar.lua` is required only by
+  `states/{ingame,inventory,actions_menu}`, which load lazily; same ordering
+  argument as `patches/slider.lua`.
+- **The verb is computed BEFORE the action runs.** The itemAction conditions key
+  off `item.isEquipped`, which the action itself flips — asked afterwards they
+  return the opposite verb, so a press that wielded would announce "Unwield".
+- **`hotkey.pack()` is the only public view of a hotkey** (`{type, command,
+  index, itemTemplateId}`); everything else in it is a closure local.
+  `hotbarModel` is tracked by wrapping `refreshModel` rather than probed, since
+  it is swapped when the player changes hotbar page.
+- **`actionIdsFor` mirrors a file-local table** (`itemActionsByEquipmentCommand`
+  in `models/hotkey.lua`) that has no getter. It is exported and canaried by the
+  testbed: every id must still exist and still carry a header.
+- **Item not in inventory: we say nothing.** The game already prints
+  `"<name> not found in your inventory."` and `patches/console.lua` speaks it.
+- **Empty slot** is announced (`Hotbar 1, empty`) — silence is indistinguishable
+  from a dropped key. So is the silent "no applicable action" branch, except
+  where `autoSwitchToThrow` fires, which reports the new action instead.
+- **Binding and unbinding are narrated too** (`self.bind`), since those are
+  sound-only as well: `Torch bound to hotbar 1` / `Hotbar 1 cleared`.
+- Action-type hotkeys (hit/interact/throw/push) report the resulting action with
+  `status.lua`'s wording: `Action: Throw`.
+
+**78 testbed checks, 0 failures** (was 71). The prologue gives the player no
+items, so the live path is exercised by **planting a torch, binding it to slot 1,
+pressing `1` twice, and putting the world back** (a lit torch would otherwise
+change FoV for the viewwatch and loot checks that follow). Plus the header-table
+canary and the `Wield`/`Unwield` flip.
