Owner

Purpose

Make recording react immediately and preserve speech that begins as soon as the user presses the button or hotkey.

Changes

Disable renderer background throttling so hidden and minimized recording controls are delivered promptly.
Replace delayed renderer Web Audio cues with native Electron cues.
Warm and reuse the selected microphone stream so Windows device startup cannot clip opening words.
Load the AudioWorklet concurrently with recorder setup.

Verification

bun run typecheck
bun run lint
bun run format:check
bun run test (73 passing)
bun run package:win
Manual packaged-app recording checks using immediate German counting.

Behavior note

The selected microphone remains active while Voice Typer is running so capture can begin without hardware startup latency.
