Onboarding rebuilt around a live demo

v0.2.0, feature

Onboarding now opens with a live dictation demo on the sign-in screen, so the first thing you see is Epilude working on real text rather than a static screenshot.

The hotkey step uses a new virtual keyboard that highlights your configured combo, tracks live key presses, and distinguishes the configured key from the one you're pressing right now. Reassigning the press-to-dictate hotkey from Settings → Hotkeys uses the same picker.

A short hands-free practice step lets you try a real dictation inside onboarding before finishing setup. Caps Lock is now the default press-to-dictate trigger for fresh installs, and a single tap ends a hands-free dictation cleanly.
