FluidVoice v1.6.7

Changes

Parakeet transcription is now up to 2x faster on Apple silicon. M4 and M5 see the largest gains, while M1-M3 see roughly 1.3-1.5x faster transcription.
Improved microphone reliability during device changes and rapid start/stop by using the safer direct Core Audio capture path for everyone.
Reduced recording startup latency by removing unnecessary teardown and first-audio scheduling delays.
Prevented media playback from getting stuck after dictation when Now Playing is slow or settings change mid-recording.
Kept FluidVoice microphone selection independent from the macOS default, with a safe built-in fallback.
Fixed an issue where AirPods media controls could stop working while FluidVoice was enabled.
Reduced first-word capture latency from about 350 ms to under 100 ms, reducing the chance of missing the first few words.
Prevented temporary dictation pasteboard writes from appearing in supported clipboard managers' history.
Made the advanced prompt editor scrollable so its actions remain accessible in smaller windows.
Prevented duplicate update prompts and repeated installation attempts within a running app, with clear download and restart progress.

Thanks to @AshwanthramKL, @postoso, and @floze-the-genius for audio, clipboard, and prompt-editor improvements in 1.6.7.
