Summary

macOS text injection (src-tauri/src/text_injection/mod.rs): simulate_keyboard embedded text in an AppleScript keystroke "..." string without handling newlines. A newline in transcription text (e.g. from a voice command "new line") would produce invalid AppleScript and silently fail to inject. Fixed by splitting on \n and sending key code 36 (Return) between segments.

Dictate text containing "new line" voice command — text injected with actual newline into target app on macOS
Dictate plain text without newlines — still injects correctly
Trailing newline in text (e.g. "new paragraph" producing \n\n) — two Returns sent, no crash
