qa: restore boot, wire dead error rx, harden storage and config

Front-to-back QC pass turned up two independent missing-module
showstoppers (workspace did not compile; frontend did not load) plus a
handful of HANDOVER-claimed features that were wired but dead. Fixes:

P0 — gets the app booting again:
  - Add the never-committed src/lib/utils/runtime.js (hasTauriRuntime
    detection); 5 imports were resolving to nothing.
  - Add the never-committed crates/audio/src/streaming_resample.rs
    (rubato-backed StreamingResampler with new/push_samples/flush);
    declared in lib.rs and used 3x by live.rs but had no impl.
  - Drop the duplicate hasTauriRuntime import in routes/+layout.svelte.
  - Allow the transcript-viewer window to use the default capability
    (was missing from capabilities/default.json:windows, so the viewer
    window could open but not invoke any Tauri command).

P1 — features documented as working but actually dead:
  - Pump MicrophoneCapture::take_error_rx() into LiveStatusMessage::
    Warning each loop iteration in commands/live.rs. The HANDOVER
    promised cpal stream errors would surface as toasts; the channel
    was created and never read.
  - Replace .expect() on the WebKit media-permission setup with a
    logged warning. Failure no longer aborts the whole process.
  - Toast on save_preferences failure (preferences.svelte.js had a
    silent console.error — now warns once per failure run via the
    existing toasts store).

P2 — correctness/robustness:
  - add_dictionary_entry: switch INSERT OR IGNORE to ON CONFLICT
    DO UPDATE ... RETURNING id so duplicate terms get the real row id
    instead of a stale auto-increment.
  - search_transcripts: qualify ORDER BY fts.rank.
  - InsertTranscriptParams + TranscriptRow: bump sample_rate /
    audio_channels from i32 to i64 to match the Tauri DTO and avoid
    silent truncation at the boundary.
  - Drop the unused tauri-plugin-mcp dependency.
  - Promote sqlx in src-tauri/Cargo.toml from linux-only to
    unconditional (lib.rs names sqlx::SqlitePool unconditionally —
    macOS/Windows builds were latently broken).
  - hotkey/linux.rs: stop panicking the hotplug task on inotify
    failure; degrade to "no hotplug" with a stderr warning.
  - layout.svelte: store the global error/unhandledrejection handler
    refs and remove them in onDestroy so HMR/window teardown doesn't
    leak listeners.

Verified: cargo check -p kon-core -p kon-storage -p kon-cloud-providers
passes. cargo check on src-tauri/kon-audio/kon-hotkey requires alsa +
gtk system libs not present in this sandbox; their changes are
syntactically and type-checked against the rest of the workspace.
svelte-check requires npm install which is not available here.

+// Streaming resampler used by the live transcription session.
+//
+// Microphones expose whatever native rate the device supports (commonly
+// 44 100 or 48 000 Hz). whisper.cpp wants 16 kHz mono `f32`. The live
+// session calls `push_samples()` with each capture chunk as it arrives
+// and gets back zero-or-more 16 kHz samples to enqueue into the model
+// input buffer. At end-of-session it calls `flush()` once to drain any
+// residual input and the resampler's internal tail.
+//
+// Implementation notes:
+//
+//   - We use rubato's `SincFixedIn` (same engine the file-level
+//     `resample::resample_to_16khz` uses) so behaviour stays consistent
+//     across live + file paths.
+//   - rubato's fixed-in API requires a constant-size input chunk. We
+//     buffer captured samples in a residual `Vec<f32>` and only feed
+//     the resampler when we have a full chunk.
+//   - When the input rate already matches 16 kHz we skip rubato
+//     entirely and pass samples straight through (zero allocations
+//     beyond the returned `Vec`).
+//   - `flush()` zero-pads the residual to one final chunk, processes
+//     it, then truncates the output to the proportion that came from
+//     real (non-padded) samples — otherwise the trailing silence
+//     produced by the padding leaks into the saved audio file.
