feat(captures): mirror readiness checklist into the settings sidebar

The six-gate checklist only rendered in the CapturesTab empty state, so
a user already on the settings page had no single surface showing which
gate was red — the inline InputMonitoringNotice covered one, the model
pickers covered another, and Accessibility was only hinted at by the
auto-paste toggle. Mirror the same component into the right sidebar of
the settings page so every gate (STT model, LLM model, Input Monitoring,
Accessibility, plus the hotkey toggle in the main column) is always
visible while the user configures dictation.

New compact prop on DictationReadinessChecklist drops the centered
header and empty-state max-width so it fits the 280 px sidebar next to
the existing About / Differences blocks. Callers in compact mode own
the heading — CapturesPage reuses the existing captures.readiness.title
key (present in en / ja / zh-CN / zh-TW already) as an h3 matching the
sibling sidebar sections.
