AI provider:
- Extract configureAIProvider() from saveSettings for reuse
- Call it on app startup after sidecar is ready (was only called on Save)
- Call it after first-time sidecar download completes
- Sidecar now receives correct Ollama URL/model immediately
Video extraction:
- Hide ffmpeg console window on Windows (CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag)
- Show "Extracting audio from video..." overlay with spinner during extraction
- UI stays responsive while ffmpeg runs

Video files (MP4, MKV, etc.) are now processed with ffmpeg to extract
audio to a temp WAV file before loading into wavesurfer. This prevents
the WebView crash caused by trying to fetch multi-GB files into memory.
- New extract_audio Tauri command uses ffmpeg (sidecar-bundled or system)
- Frontend detects video extensions and extracts audio automatically
- User-friendly error if ffmpeg is not installed with install instructions
- Reverted wavesurfer MediaElement approach in favor of clean extraction
- Added FFmpeg install guide to USER_GUIDE.md

CSP: Add blob: to connect-src/img-src/media-src for wavesurfer.js audio
playback. Add http://tauri.localhost to default-src for devtools.
pyannote: sys.modules block didn't work — pyannote still uses AudioDecoder
unconditionally. New approach: monkey-patch Audio.__call__ in diarize.py
to use torchaudio.load() directly, bypassing the broken torchcodec path.
Patch runs once before pipeline loading.

- DevTools off by default (no more auto-open on launch)
- New "Developer" tab in Settings with a checkbox to toggle devtools
- Toggle takes effect immediately (opens/closes inspector)
- Setting persists: devtools restored on next launch if enabled
- toggle_devtools Tauri command wraps window.open/close_devtools

CSP: Add connect-src for ipc.localhost and asset.localhost so Tauri IPC
commands and local file loading (waveform, audio playback) work.
pyannote: Block torchcodec in sys.modules at startup so pyannote.audio
falls back to torchaudio for audio decoding. pyannote has a bug where
it uses AudioDecoder unconditionally even when torchcodec import fails.

- Enable Tauri devtools feature so right-click Inspect works in release
- Open devtools automatically on launch for debugging
- Add log_frontend command: frontend can write to ~/.voicetonotes/frontend.log
- Sidecar logs go to %LOCALAPPDATA%/com.voicetonotes.app/sidecar.log
- Frontend logs go to %USERPROFILE%/.voicetonotes/frontend.log

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

CI split:
- release.yml: version bump + lightweight app builds (no Python/sidecar)
- build-sidecar.yml: builds CPU + CUDA sidecar variants per platform,
uploads as separate release assets, runs in parallel with app builds
- Sidecar workflow uses retry loop to find release (race with version bump)
Fixes:
- Add reqwest "json" feature for .json() method
- Add explicit type annotations for reqwest Response and bytes::Bytes
- Reuse client instance for download (was using reqwest::get directly)
Bundle targets: deb, rpm, nsis, msi, dmg (all formats, app is small now)
Windows upload finds both *.msi and *-setup.exe

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

- Add rpm to bundle targets and install rpm on Linux CI
- Upload both .deb and .rpm from Linux build
- Install 7-Zip via choco if not already available on Windows runner

- Replace Compress-Archive (2GB limit) with 7z for sidecar packaging
- Remove NSIS from bundle targets — NSIS has a 2GB per-file limit that
breaks with CUDA-sized sidecar.zip; MSI (WiX) handles large files
by splitting into multiple CABs
- Update Windows upload to look for .msi only
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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

AppImage bundler compresses the entire sidecar.zip into squashfs,
causing builds to hang/timeout. Limit targets to deb (Linux),
nsis+msi (Windows), and dmg (macOS).

The TAURI_CONFIG env var approach for resources wasn't being applied
by the NSIS bundler, so sidecar.zip was never included in the installer.
- Add resources: ["sidecar.zip"] directly to tauri.conf.json
- build.rs creates a minimal placeholder zip for dev builds so
compilation succeeds even without the real sidecar
- Remove TAURI_CONFIG env var from all CI workflows (no longer needed)
- Add sidecar.zip to .gitignore (generated by CI, not tracked)

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
