The version label was reading from backendStore.version which comes
from the sidecar's version.py (hardcoded at build time). Now uses
Tauri's getVersion() API which reads from tauri.conf.json -- the
actual app version that gets bumped by the release workflow.

On launch, after confirming the sidecar is installed, the app now
checks for a newer sidecar version via the Gitea API. If an update
is available, shows a prompt with "Update Now" or "Skip":
- Update Now: shows the SidecarSetup download screen
- Skip: launches the existing sidecar version
The update check is non-blocking -- if it fails (no internet, API
error), the app silently proceeds with the current version.

The config store exports fetchConfig() but App.svelte was calling
the nonexistent loadConfig(), causing a TypeError that prevented
the sidecar from launching.

- Added write_log Tauri command that writes to frontend.log in app data dir
- App.svelte now logs each startup step (Tauri import, sidecar check, launch)
- Startup overlays use inline styles as fallback so they're visible even if
CSS variables fail to load
- Debug status shown on the checking/connecting screens
- Rust side logs startup info to app.log (resource dir, data dir)
Log files location: %APPDATA%/net.anhonesthost.local-transcription/ (Windows)
or ~/Library/Application Support/net.anhonesthost.local-transcription/ (macOS)

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

macOS sidecar: `uv run` re-resolves dependencies using CUDA sources
even after `uv sync --no-sources`. Use UV_NO_SOURCES=1 env var instead
so it applies to all uv commands in the step.
Blank window: When the Tauri app starts without the Python backend
running, it showed a completely blank window. Now shows a "Connecting
to backend..." spinner, or an error state with instructions to start
the backend manually.

Scaffold the cross-platform rewrite from PySide6/Qt to Tauri + Svelte,
following the same architecture as voice-to-notes. The Python backend
runs headless as a sidecar, with a FastAPI control API that the Svelte
frontend connects to via REST and WebSocket.
New files:
- backend/app_controller.py: Headless orchestration (extracted from MainWindow)
- backend/api_server.py: FastAPI control endpoints + /ws/control WebSocket
- backend/main_headless.py: Headless entry point for sidecar mode
- src-tauri/: Tauri v2 Rust shell with sidecar and dialog plugins
- src/: Svelte 5 frontend (App, Settings, Controls, TranscriptionDisplay)
- src/lib/stores/: Reactive stores for backend connection, config, transcriptions
