Two new registry entries (crates/core/src/model_registry.rs):
- whisper-distil-small-en — 336 MB, ~6× faster than whisper-small-en
- whisper-distil-large-v3 — 1.55 GB, near large-v3 accuracy at medium size
Both are whisper.cpp-compatible GGML binaries hosted on HF by the
distil-whisper org; no runtime change, just wider model choice. English-only
by design (matches upstream Distil-Whisper).
The Settings model picker widens to six options — Tiny, Base, Small,
Distil-S, Medium, Distil-L — ordered roughly by accuracy. Download/load
commands now take the resolved model id (whisper-distil-*) instead of the
lowercased label, so the frontend owns the label↔id mapping.

The CTC model (onnx-community/parakeet-ctc-0.6b-ONNX) only has an encoder
— no decoder_joint or nemo128 preprocessor. transcribe-rs expects a TDT
transducer variant with all three. Switch to istupakov/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2-onnx
which has the correct int8 files.

Add kon-hotkey crate with evdev-based global hotkey capture that works on
Wayland (and X11). Patterns from whisper-overlay: per-device async listeners,
inotify hotplug with udev permission retry, watch channel for live config
updates. Frontend detects Wayland at startup and selects evdev or
tauri-plugin-global-shortcut automatically.
Model downloads now support HTTP Range resume for interrupted downloads and
optional SHA256 integrity verification (incremental, no second pass).
