Sidecar now has its own version (1.0.0) and release lifecycle:
- Sidecar tags: sidecar-v1.0.0, sidecar-v1.0.1, etc.
- App tags: v0.2.x (unchanged)
- Sidecar workflow triggers only on python/** changes or manual dispatch
- App release no longer bumps python/pyproject.toml
Sidecar version tracked via sidecar-version.txt in app data dir:
- resolve_sidecar_path() reads version from file instead of CARGO_PKG_VERSION
- download_sidecar() fetches latest sidecar-v* release from Gitea API
- check_sidecar_update() compares local vs remote sidecar versions
- Version file written after successful download

Major refactor: sidecar is no longer bundled in the installer. Instead,
it's downloaded on first launch with a setup screen offering CPU vs CUDA
choice. This solves the 2GB+ installer size limit and decouples app/sidecar.
Backend:
- New commands: check_sidecar, download_sidecar, check_sidecar_update
- Streaming download with progress events via reqwest
- Added reqwest + futures-util dependencies
- Removed sidecar.zip from bundle resources
- Restored NSIS target (no longer size-constrained)
CI:
- Each platform builds both CPU and CUDA sidecar variants (except macOS: CPU only)
- Sidecar zips uploaded as separate release assets
- Asset naming: sidecar-{os}-{arch}-{variant}.zip
Frontend:
- SidecarSetup.svelte: first-launch setup with CPU/CUDA radio choice,
progress bar, error/retry handling
- Update banner on launch if newer sidecar version available
- Conditional rendering: setup screen → main app flow

- Windows and Linux sidecar builds now use --with-cuda for GPU acceleration
(macOS stays CPU-only — Apple Silicon uses Metal, not CUDA)
- Windows upload switched from --data-binary to -T streaming for 2GB+ files
- Add cleanup_old_sidecars() that removes stale sidecar-* directories on
startup, keeping only the current version
- Add NSIS uninstall hook to remove sidecar data dir on Windows uninstall
(user data in ~/.voicetonotes is preserved)

- Fix is_running() to check actual process liveness via try_wait()
instead of just checking if the handle exists
- Auto-restart sidecar on pipe errors (broken pipe, closed stdout)
with one retry attempt
- Hide sidecar console window on Windows (CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag)
- Log sidecar stderr to sidecar.log file for crash diagnostics
- Include exit status in error message when sidecar fails to start

Tauri's build script overflows the stack when processing resource globs
matching thousands of files from PyInstaller's ML output (torch, pyannote).
Instead of bundling the sidecar directory directly:
- CI zips the sidecar output into a single sidecar.zip
- Tauri bundles just the one zip file (no recursion)
- On first launch, Rust extracts the zip to the app data directory
- Versioned extraction dir (sidecar-{version}) ensures updates re-extract

Tauri's externalBin only bundled the single sidecar executable, but
PyInstaller's onedir output requires companion DLLs and _internal/.
The binary was also renamed with a target triple suffix that
resolve_sidecar_path() didn't look for, causing it to fall back to
dev mode which used a compile-time CI path (CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR).
- Switch from externalBin to bundle.resources to include all sidecar files
- Pass Tauri resource_dir to sidecar manager for platform-aware path resolution
- Remove rename_binary() since externalBin target triple naming is no longer needed
- Remove broken production-to-dev fallback that could never work on user machines

Send each segment to the frontend immediately after transcription via
a new pipeline.segment IPC message, then send speaker assignments as a
batch pipeline.speaker_update message after diarization completes. This
lets the UI display segments progressively instead of waiting for the
entire pipeline to finish.
Changes:
- Add partial_segment_message and speaker_update_message IPC factories
- Add on_segment callback parameter to TranscribeService.transcribe()
- Emit partial segments and speaker updates from PipelineService.run()
- Add send_and_receive_with_progress to SidecarManager (Rust)
- Route pipeline.segment/speaker_update events in run_pipeline command
- Listen for streaming events in Svelte frontend (+page.svelte)
- Add tests for new message types, callback signature, and update logic

- Redirect sys.stdout to stderr in Python sidecar so library print()
calls don't corrupt the JSON-line IPC stream
- Save real stdout fd for exclusive IPC use via init_ipc()
- Skip non-JSON lines in Rust reader instead of failing with parse error
- Set Tauri window background color to match dark theme (#0a0a23)
- Add inline dark background on html/body to prevent white flash
- Use Svelte tick() to ensure progress overlay renders before invoke
- Improve ProgressOverlay with spinner, better styling, z-index 9999

- Stream pipeline progress to frontend via Tauri events so the progress
overlay updates in real time during transcription/diarization
- Gracefully fall back to transcription-only when diarization fails
(e.g. pyannote not installed) instead of erroring the whole pipeline
- Add color-scheme: dark to fix native select/option elements rendering
with unreadable white backgrounds

- Rewrite SidecarManager as singleton with OnceLock, reusing one Python
process across all commands instead of spawning per call
- Separate stdin/stdout ownership with dedicated BufReader to prevent
data corruption between wait_for_ready and send_and_receive
- Add ensure_running() for auto-start on first command
- Fix asset protocol URL: use convertFileSrc() instead of manual
encodeURIComponent which broke file paths with slashes
- Add +layout.svelte with global dark theme, CSS reset, and custom
scrollbar styling to prevent white flash on startup
- Register AppState with Tauri .manage(), initialize SQLite database
on app startup at ~/.voicetonotes/voice_to_notes.db
- Wire project commands (create/get/list) to real database queries
instead of placeholder stubs
