- 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

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

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
