History retention, simpler history actions, microphone picker, install offer

Browse Source 
- Settings: "Keep history" (a day … forever, default a month); older
  recordings and their audio are pruned at startup, after each recording
  and when the setting changes.
- History rows keep play, copy and delete only.
- Advanced: the microphone is picked from PipeWire's sources instead of a
  free-text field, with a note about Bluetooth headsets switching profile.
- A stock machine without voxtype gets a banner with an Install button that
  runs omarchy-voxtype-install in a floating terminal; the daemon refuses to
  record until the tools are there and says why.

- **Ask your agent**: a second key per language hands the text to Omarchy's default coding agent (`omarchy default agent`) instead of pasting it.
- **Live waveform and live text** in the bar: yellow while the microphone connects, green while it listens; the bar goes back to the icon the moment the text is pasted.
- **Stop is instant**: the recording is transcribed at every pause while you talk, so only the last phrase is left when you stop.
- **History** of every recording (text + audio) with play, copy, paste, paste-and-send and delete, searchable, in the bar popup.
- **History** of every recording (text + audio) with play, copy and delete, searchable, in the bar popup; kept for a month by default (Settings).
- **Languages** picked from Whisper's list; the model a language needs is downloaded by itself the first time (about 150 MB for the default model; the bar shows the progress). English-only models are swapped for the multilingual one.
- **Engine**: Omarchy's own dictation engine, [voxtype](https://github.com/peteonrails/voxtype) (local Whisper), by default, so there is nothing new to install. whisper.cpp (`whisper-cli`) and any custom command are also supported (Settings → Advanced).
- **Safe key bindings**: a key that anything else already uses is refused, never taken over.

That is all: the microphone icon appears in the bar, the daemon starts with the shell and applies the key bindings itself (nothing in `~/.config/hypr` is touched).
That is all. The microphone icon appears in the bar, the daemon starts with the shell and applies the key bindings itself (nothing in `~/.config/hypr` is touched).
If Omarchy's dictation engine (voxtype) is not installed yet, the popup says so and offers an **Install** button, which runs `omarchy-voxtype-install` in a floating terminal (about 150 MB, asks for your password). Everything else the plugin needs is part of a stock Omarchy: PipeWire, `wl-clipboard`, `curl`, Python 3; `wtype` comes with voxtype.
Optional: `~/.config/omarchy/plugins/alanfortlink.speech-to-text/install.sh` puts the `stt` command on your PATH. From a checkout anywhere else, `./install.sh` also links the checkout into the plugins directory (handy for development).
Requires `voxtype` (Omarchy ships it: `omarchy-voxtype-install`), `pipewire`, `wtype`, `wl-clipboard`, `curl`. All present on a stock Omarchy.
## Use
- Press the language's key, talk, press it again. `Esc` discards while recording. The first press for a new language downloads its model; the bar shows "Getting ready…" until it is there.
