Summary
Focused desktop app fixes — making the WhisperTyping clone actually work.
Fix 1: API Key Check Before Recording
Previously if you pressed the hotkey without an API key, nothing happened. Now you get a clear dialog telling you to add your key, with a button that opens Settings directly.
Fix 2: Robust Typing Fallback
nut-tree (keyboard simulation) is now loaded once at startup. If it fails to install (native compilation), the app still works — copies to clipboard and tells you to Ctrl+V. No silent failures.
