v0.5.1 — read-aloud crash fix & floating overlays

Bug-fix release.

Fixes

• Read-aloud no longer quits the app. Cloud (Deepgram / OpenAI) read-aloud crashed the whole app when playback finished on its own — the AVAudioPlayer was released while its finish callback was still pending on the run loop. It's now always stopped before release. (#41)
• Floating overlays — no more dark frame. The recording pill, read-aloud popup, and clipboard toast now render as rounded pills that float free of the backing rectangle (non-opaque window + clipped, rounded layer + drop shadow), instead of a dark box around the pill. (#42)
• Docs: refreshed README for v0.5.0 features + a new CONTRIBUTING guide. (#40)

Quality

Clean build, 101 tests passing, clippy clean.

v0.5.0 — Read-aloud speed-up & macOS visual refresh

Read-aloud — faster & more robust

• Text cleanup (#33): collapses double spaces / tabs / newlines from terminal copies before synthesis.
• Sentence batching (#33): long passages split on ./!/? into ≤400-char batches — first audio starts quickly, and a huge blob never hits the provider as one slow, failure-prone request.
• Lazy prefetch (#34/#36, wired by #37): cloud backends (OpenAI, Deepgram) synthesize the next batch(es) while the current one plays — no inter-batch silence — and stop fetching the instant the listener stops early. Additive TtsProvider API (can_prefetch/prepare/play_prepared); the native voice keeps the sequential path.

Visuals — modern macOS look

• Embedded Inter font (#35): replaces the blocky 5×7 all-caps bitmap with proportional, anti-aliased, mixed-case text across the recording pill, read-aloud popup, and clipboard toast.
• macOS system-color palette (#38): dark-mode popover material + Apple system colors, unified across the three overlays.

Quality

Zero build warnings, 101 tests passing, clippy clean.
