Shows a small floating, non-interactive panel while recording with a
segmented VU meter driven by AVAudioRecorder metering (averagePower).
If the input peak stays at silence for >1.2s it turns red and shows
"Nincs hangbemenet?" — surfacing the dead-mic case that previously
produced empty recordings and whisper hallucinations with no feedback.

Each dictation previously spawned whisper-cli with -m, reloading the full
1.5-1.6GB model (+ ~10s Metal init) every single time. This adds a
WhisperServer manager that keeps a whisper-server child process alive with
the model preloaded, so each utterance is a fast local HTTP POST to
/inference (~0.5s) instead of a multi-second cold start.
- Bundles whisper-server alongside whisper-cli (bundle-whisper.sh).
- Server (re)starts on launch and on model change; stops on terminate;
picks a free loopback port; -nt (plain text) + -sns (fewer hallucinations).
- transcribe() prefers the warm server and falls back to a per-call
whisper-cli spawn if the server is unavailable.
- Warm-up now starts BEFORE the blocking accessibility prompt so the model
load overlaps with the user granting permissions.
- Info.plist: NSAllowsLocalNetworking for the loopback HTTP call.
