OLIV 0.2.0

Thai + English voice typing for macOS, now native: no Python inside, a 5× smaller download, and a redesigned Settings window.

• A 5× smaller download, and no Python inside. Text processing and API
  requests run on a shared Rust core; on-device Whisper and Gemma run with
  native MLX. The installer shrinks from about 123 MB to about 26 MB, and the
  models you already downloaded keep working offline.
• Redesigned Settings. A resizable window with searchable sidebar navigation,
  clear sections for shortcuts, audio, engines and cloud services, and consistent
  cards in light and dark mode. Replacements can be edited; model storage includes
  alternative engines and individual download controls.
• Push-to-talk responds immediately. Microphone setup runs in the background
  while the indicator shows that it is getting ready. Releasing during setup
  cancels that recording. Failed echo-cancellation routes are remembered across
  launches, avoiding repeated slow setup; toggle Cancel speaker echo off and on
  to retry. Changing devices or macOS also gives echo cancellation a fresh attempt.
• Know where dictation runs. The menu, recording indicator and Settings
  show On-device or Cloud with the engine name. The last result shows the
  engine actually used, including Groq's fallback to local transcription.
• OLIV API engine (opt-in). Use your own API URL and individual key for
  server transcription and cleanup without downloading local models. Keys live
  in macOS Keychain. Recordings are capped at two minutes; rate limits show a
  wait notice and requests are never automatically resent. Spoken formatting
  commands and saved-audio retry are not available with this engine yet.
