New features:
- Settings > Transcription Engine > "Change Transcription Engine"
button stops the sidecar, deletes downloaded files, and reloads
the app to show the engine selection screen
- Improved SidecarSetup descriptions with detailed explanations
of each variant and "Recommended" tag on Cloud (Deepgram)
- Cloud option listed first as the recommended choice
- New reset_sidecar Tauri command that cleans up sidecar files

Lightweight Deepgram-only sidecar that excludes PyTorch, faster-whisper,
RealtimeSTT, and CUDA. Only includes audio capture + WebSocket streaming
to Deepgram. Requires a Deepgram API key (BYOK or managed mode).
Changes:
- client/models.py: Extracted TranscriptionResult into standalone module
so deepgram_transcription.py doesn't transitively import torch
- backend/app_controller.py: Made RealtimeTranscriptionEngine and
DeviceManager imports lazy (only loaded when remote.mode == "local")
- local-transcription-cloud.spec: PyInstaller spec excluding all ML deps
- SidecarSetup.svelte: Added "Cloud Only (Deepgram)" variant option
- build-sidecar-cloud.yml: CI workflow building cloud sidecar for all 3 OS
- sidecar-release.yml: Dispatches cloud build alongside CPU/CUDA builds
Sidecar download options are now:
- Standard (CPU): ~500 MB - local Whisper on any computer
- GPU Accelerated (CUDA): ~2 GB - local Whisper with NVIDIA GPU
- Cloud Only (Deepgram): ~50 MB - requires API key, no local models

Restored the font configuration that was missing from the Tauri
rewrite. Settings now include:
- Font Source: System Font, Web-Safe, Google Font
- System Font: text input for any installed font family
- Web-Safe: dropdown with 13 universal fonts (Arial, Courier New, etc.)
- Google Font: dropdown with 35 fonts organized by category
(Sans Serif, Serif, Monospace, Display, Handwriting)
- Font Size: range slider (8-32px)
All font settings are saved to config and applied to the OBS web
display and server sync.

Test suite covering all three layers:
Python backend (25 tests):
- AppController: state machine, start/stop, callbacks, settings reload
- API server: REST endpoints, config CRUD, status, devices
- Config: dot-notation get/set, persistence, nested paths
- Main headless: ready event port format validation
Svelte frontend (14 tests via Vitest):
- Backend store: exported properties/methods, port derivation, URLs
- Config store: method names (fetchConfig not loadConfig), defaults
- Transcriptions store: add/clear/plaintext
- File extension regression: ensures $state runes only in .svelte.ts
Rust sidecar (24 tests via cargo test):
- Platform/arch detection, asset name construction
- Ready event deserialization (with extra fields tolerance)
- Path construction, version read/write, old version cleanup
- Zip extraction, SidecarManager lifecycle
CI workflow (.gitea/workflows/test.yml):
- Runs on push to main and PRs
- Three parallel jobs: Python, Frontend, Rust
Also fixes three bugs found during test planning:
- Settings: /api/check-updates -> GET /api/check-update
- Settings: /api/remote/login -> /api/login
- Settings: /api/remote/register -> /api/register

BYOK mode connects directly to Deepgram (wss://api.deepgram.com),
so the server URL field was incorrect. Now:
- BYOK shows a Deepgram API Key field with link to console.deepgram.com
- Managed shows the Server URL field (for the transcription proxy)
- Local shows neither
- API key is saved as remote.byok_api_key in config

On first launch, the app now prompts users to download the Python
sidecar (CPU or CUDA variant) from Gitea releases, matching the
voice-to-notes pattern. On subsequent launches, it auto-launches
the sidecar and connects.
New Rust module (src-tauri/src/sidecar/):
- download_sidecar: streams download with progress events, extracts zip
- check_sidecar: verifies installed sidecar binary exists
- check_sidecar_update: compares local vs latest release version
- SidecarManager: launches binary, waits for ready JSON, manages lifecycle
- Dev mode: runs `python -m backend.main_headless` directly
- start_sidecar/stop_sidecar/get_sidecar_port: Tauri commands
New Svelte component (SidecarSetup.svelte):
- First-time setup overlay with CPU/CUDA variant selection
- Download progress bar with byte counter
- Error state with retry, success state with auto-continue
Updated App.svelte state machine:
- checking -> needs_setup -> starting -> connected
- Falls back to direct connection in browser dev mode

The src/lib/ directory was being excluded by a Python .gitignore rule
for lib/ (meant for Python's build output). Changed to /lib/ so it
only matches root-level lib/ and doesn't block src/lib/.
Adds 8 files that were created but missed in the initial commit:
- 5 Svelte components (Header, StatusBar, Controls, TranscriptionDisplay, Settings)
- 3 TypeScript stores (backend, config, transcriptions)
