Baltimorean: post-attribution titles now read "Baltimorean" not "Ard!" — TDD

User caught a missed surface on iPhone after the May-18b rename pass (1ccb045): the post.html `.post-attribution` spans still rendered "@disco the Ard!" instead of "@disco the Baltimorean" — six callsites across the post header (author / invitee / shared-self / created-by) plus `_my_buds_applet_item.html`'s bud row body. Same shape on display: navbar DON greeting is the only surface that should keep "Ayo, Ard!", per the May-18b architectural decision ; root cause: `User.active_title_display` at lyric/models.py:152 returned `self.active_title.display_title` ("Ard!" for Baltimorean) instead of `self.active_title.display_name` ("Baltimorean"). The Sprint-18b rename pass swapped the inline `attr_combo` + Brief.title to use `display_name`, but missed this property which is the indirection layer for `.post-attribution` callsites. Navbar uses `{{ user.active_title.display_title }}` directly (no helper-property indirection) so it stays at "Ard!" — that's the intended single Ard! surface ; fix: one-line swap in `active_title_display` from `display_title` to `display_name`. For stargazer / schizo / nomad these two are equal (the Note model's `display_name` property at drama/models.py:262 falls through to `display_title` unless the slug has an override in `_NOTE_DISPLAY[slug]["display_name"]`) — Baltimorean is the only current override w. `{"display_name": "Baltimorean"}`. So this is no-op for every non-Baltimorean Note ; TDD trail: +3 UTs in apps.lyric.tests.integrated.test_models.UserModelTest: `test_active_title_display_returns_earthman_when_no_note_donned` (smoke), `test_active_title_display_uses_display_name_not_display_title` (pins the Baltimorean override path — went red 'Ard! != Baltimorean' before the fix), `test_active_title_display_falls_through_to_display_title_for_non_overridden_slugs` (pins the no-op path for stargazer). Red → green confirmed. Surfaces auto-affected: post.html post-attribution × 5 callsites + `_my_buds_applet_item.html` bud row body (all use `{{ user.active_title_display }}`) ; 1008 IT/UT green in 46s (+3 from 1005)
