Local Mode is ready the moment you start talking

v0.4.2, improvement

The "Warming up local model" wait after a break is mostly gone.

Stays ready between dictations: on Macs with 16GB+ of memory, the on-device model now stays loaded while Epilude runs, instead of unloading after a few quiet minutes.

Warms up while you speak: if the model does need to load, that now starts the moment you press your hotkey — so it happens while you're talking, not after you stop.

Kinder to your Mac: when your system is genuinely low on memory, Epilude still steps aside and frees what it's using.
