Chalant 1.35.0

A first run that proves itself.

Dictation comes second, and it works before it asks for anything

New installs used to meet the wordmark and the island's verbs before
they ever reached dictation, and the tour never actually had anyone
dictate. The first real attempt happened later, alone, often with
nothing on screen to receive the words.

Now dictation is the second card, and it holds the landing spot itself.
Turn it on, hold the key or the card's own button, say a sentence, and
your words appear right there in the card. Only the microphone is
needed for that. Letting Chalant type into your other apps is asked on
the next card, after you have already watched it work.

The card's button matters on a Mac where the key permission was
refused: it drives dictation directly, so a first run can no longer sit
there doing nothing without saying why.
