Speech to Text: Omarchy bar plugin for dictation

A bar widget plus a stdlib-only Python daemon. Press a language's key to record, press it again to stop: the text is pasted at the cursor (or handed to the default coding agent with a second key). While recording the bar shows a waveform (yellow while the microphone opens, green while listening) and the words as they are recognised; the recording is transcribed at every pause, so stopping only transcribes the last phrase. Every recording and its text are kept in a searchable history with playback, copy, paste and delete. Uses Omarchy's own dictation engine (voxtype, local Whisper) by default and downloads any model a language needs by itself; whisper.cpp or a custom command can be picked instead. Key bindings are applied at runtime through Hyprland's Lua API and never touch a key something else already uses.
