Quantized models: add Small q5_1, Medium q5_0, Large v3 Turbo q5_0/q8_0
and Large v3 q5_0 to the catalog. Turbo q5_0 keeps whisper-server at
~0.7 GB instead of ~1.75 GB with the same speed. Installed models show
their catalog name; the first-run wizard uses a popup instead of one
button per model.
Download feedback: a progress window with bar, size, speed, time left,
cancel and retry, followed by "loading" and "ready" steps. Progress also
shows in the menu bar icon, the status menu and the Settings button, and
the Settings model list refreshes when done. Only one download runs at a
time, an existing model is replaced only after a successful download, and
HTTP errors are reported instead of saving the error page as a model.
Model warm-up: start loading the model when recording starts instead of
after it stops. After 2+ minutes idle a tiny silent request pages the
model back in while the user talks; a dead server is restarted, and a
server that is still loading is awaited rather than loading the model a
second time via whisper-cli. If loading takes over 2.5 s the recording
HUD explains why this transcription is slower. Server start no longer
overwrites the recording/transcribing menu bar icon.
