v1.25.1

Fix crash on startup with non-Cohere backends (#154)
get_credential was re-imported as a local variable inside initialize() and _reinitialize_cohere_transcribe() in
whisper_manager.py. Python's scoping rules marked it local for the entire method at compile time, causing an
UnboundLocalError whenever a non-Cohere backend (rest-api, realtime-ws, pywhispercpp) was configured. Redundant local
imports removed; the module-level import is used throughout.
Fix USB microphone failures after idle on ALSA systems (#153)
USB microphones managed via raw ALSA can power down after ~30 seconds of silence. When hyprwhspr tried to open the device for
the next recording, PortAudio's PaUnixThread_New timed out (paTimedOut / error -9987). This release introduces a silent
keepalive stream that holds the ALSA device open between recordings, preventing the kernel from suspending it. The keepalive is
only started when a multiplexed audio server (PipeWire or PulseAudio) is detected — on raw ALSA it is skipped to avoid holding
an exclusive lock that would block other applications.
Additional hardening: stream start now retries up to 3 times with a brief pause on timeout, handling cold-start races on
service startup before the audio node has fully warmed up.

New setting stream_start_retry_delay (default: 1.5 seconds) controls how long to wait between stream start retries on
timeout. Increase this value if your USB microphone frequently fails on the first recording after idle.
