James PineandClaude Opus 4.7 87c582ad54 feat(capture): dictation, personalities, 0.5.0
Ships the Capture release end to end. Global-hotkey dictation with
synthetic paste into the focused app on macOS and Windows, an on-screen
pill across recording / transcribing / refining, customizable push-to-
talk and toggle chords, and an accessibility-permission prompt scoped to
Settings → Captures with inline re-check feedback.

Voice profiles gain optional personalities that power compose / rewrite /
respond actions via a local Qwen3 LLM — shared with refinement, so there
is one local LLM in the app, not two.

Refinement hardened with deterministic Whisper-loop collapse before the
LLM sees the transcript, per-capture flag snapshots for re-runs, and a
ten-transcript evaluation harness across every bundled refinement size.

Version bump 0.4.5 → 0.5.0.

"""
Captures service — persists raw audio alongside its STT transcript and,
optionally, an LLM-refined version.
A capture is a single voice input event (dictation, long-form recording, or
uploaded file). Storage mirrors the generations flow: audio lives under
``data/captures/<id>.wav`` and rows live in the ``captures`` table.
