Browser‑based settings UI added and live transcript fallback fixed.

Full changelog

All of Fono's settings are now editable from your browser, and live
transcript mode degrades gracefully when your STT backend can't stream.

Added

  • Browser-based settings UI ([server.web], default off). Pick
    Settings… in the tray — or run fono config web — and Fono opens a
    searchable settings page in your browser: a nine-section accordion covering
    every option, with live value summaries on each section, an
    unsaved-changes bar that shows exactly what you edited before you save,
    press-to-set hotkey capture, provider card grids for the STT / polish /
    assistant / TTS backends, and dark/light themes. Saving applies
    immediately — the daemon hot-reloads, no restart. API keys are write-only
    through the page (you can set them, never read them back). The server
    binds to loopback only (127.0.0.1:10808) and takes an optional bearer
    token; it's plain embedded HTML/CSS/JS on the HTTP plumbing that shipped
    in 0.13.0, so it adds no new dependencies and no measurable binary size.

Fixed

  • Live transcript mode with a non-streaming STT backend no longer breaks
    the overlay.
    Live transcript preview needs a streaming-capable backend
    (local Whisper, Groq, or Deepgram). With any other backend (e.g. Gemini),
    the dictation hotkey falls back to the normal batch pipeline — but the
    overlay could get stuck on screen permanently, and nothing told you why
    there was no live text. Now the fallback session shows the standard audio
    visualisation for the whole recording, a one-time notification explains
    that the configured backend can't stream (and that your text is typed
    when you stop), your Transcript preference is restored automatically
    afterwards, and the overlay always clears when the session ends.

Removed

  • Three inert config keys: [audio].sample_rate, [interactive].mode, and
    [interactive].quality_floor — each was a reserved knob with only one
    implemented value. Existing config files keep working; the keys are
    simply ignored and dropped on the next save.
