🚀 What's New in v0.7.0:

• 🌊 Apple Siri-Style Live Audio Visualizer:
  • Replaced text badges with a 5-bar reactive GPU CSS soundwave visualizer (WaveVisualizer) for idle, thinking, speaking, and listening states.
• 🎮 Fullscreen Auto-Hide:
  • Automatically hides Neika during full-screen games, movies, or F11 browser mode (GetForegroundWindow + GetMonitorInfoW). Toggleable via Settings -> Window.
• 🔄 Smart Focus Restoration:
  • Automatically yields OS keyboard focus (SetForegroundWindow) back to your previous application (VS Code, Chrome, Games, Desktop) when collapsing.
• 🖼️ Custom Glassmorphism Modals:
  • Added custom image drag-and-drop picker with screenshot paste (Ctrl+V) and preview.
  • Added custom reset confirmation dialog replacing native browser popups.
• ⚡ 3x Performance & Memory Optimization:
  • Reduced RAM usage from ~30 MB back down to ~10–12 MB by converting animations to pure GPU CSS keyframes.
  • Debounced color picker persistence (150ms) and live 120 FPS CSS variable updates.
• 🛡️ 100% Click Pass-Through & Zero Phantom Clicks:
  • Combined Win32 WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, DWM cache flushing (SWP_FRAMECHANGED), and Tauri's native set_ignore_cursor_events.
