Streaming (silence-cut) dictation was hardcoded on. Put it behind a per-workspace
flag settings.ai.dictationStreaming, default off, with batch dictation as the
default and fallback. Mirrors the existing settings.ai.dictation flag end to end:
- server: aiDictationStreaming on UpdateWorkspaceDto + workspace.service writes
settings.ai.dictationStreaming via updateAiSettings (jsonb merge keeps siblings)
- client: IWorkspaceAiSettings.dictationStreaming, an optimistic "Streaming
dictation" sub-toggle under "Voice dictation" (disabled when dictation is off)
- gate the MicButton streaming prop in the editor toolbar and chat composer on
the flag instead of a literal true
When the flag is absent/false both call sites pass streaming=false, so the VAD
model/wasm are never fetched and behavior is unchanged. Reuses the existing STT
model and /ai-chat/transcribe — no new provider/model/endpoint fields.
Removes the backlog entry now that it is implemented.

Add a lightweight "streaming" dictation mode as a simpler alternative to the
realtime-websocket path: detect speech with Silero VAD (@ricky0123/vad-web),
cut each segment on a pause and POST it to the existing /ai-chat/transcribe
endpoint, so text appears progressively. No server changes.
- new useStreamingDictation hook (same API as useDictation), lazy-loads VAD,
in-order seq emission, session-epoch guard against stop->start races
- new encodeWavPcm16 util (Float32 -> mono PCM16 WAV, accepted by the server)
- MicButton gains a `streaming` prop; enabled in the editor toolbar and chat
- VAD tuning: redemptionMs 640 / preSpeechPadMs 320 / minSpeechMs 96
- batch dictation kept as the fallback (streaming=false)
- deps: @ricky0123/vad-web@0.0.30, onnxruntime-web@1.27.0
Note: VAD assets load from the library CDN by default; for self-hosted/offline
set VAD_BASE_ASSET_PATH/VAD_ONNX_WASM_BASE_PATH and copy assets to public/vad/.

The byline mic rendered blue and with a smaller (16px) glyph next to the
gray 20px info icon, so it looked misaligned with an uneven gap. Add
optional color/iconSize props to MicButton (forwarded through
DictationGroup) and render the byline mic gray at 20px, wrapping it and
the info icon in a tight nowrap group so they read as a snug, aligned
pair. The AI chat mic is unchanged (passes neither prop).

The dictation button now lives in the always-rendered page byline, so the
copy in the fixed toolbar was redundant: with the toolbar enabled the mic
showed up twice. Drop the DictationGroup render, its isDictationEnabled
guard, and the unused import from the toolbar.

Add push-to-talk voice dictation that transcribes recorded audio on the
server via the workspace's OpenAI-compatible AI provider (Whisper /
gpt-4o-transcribe / self-hosted whisper), then inserts the text.
Backend:
- New `stt_api_key_enc` column + migration; STT creds parity with chat/
embeddings (sttModel/sttBaseUrl/sttApiKey, write-only key, fallbacks to
chat baseUrl/key). Both provider whitelists updated (service + repo).
- AiService.getTranscriptionModel + AiTranscriptionService.
- Gated POST /ai-chat/transcribe (dictation flag → 403, JWT + workspace
scope + throttle, 25MB cap, MIME whitelist, never logs audio/key).
- New `settings.ai.dictation` workspace flag (DTO + service + audit).
Frontend:
- Wire up the Voice/STT settings card (model/base URL/key) and the
Voice-dictation toggle.
- New `features/dictation`: useDictation (MediaRecorder state machine),
MicButton, transcribe service; integrated into the chat composer and a
new editor-toolbar dictation group, both gated by ai.dictation.
