Parakeet-TDT scores 85 on any GPU-equipped English-capable system (Instant
speed + Great accuracy + GPU boost + headroom) vs ~75 for the best distilled
Whisper. A new test in recommendation.rs locks this in so future scoring
tweaks don't silently regress it.
FirstRunPage previously stored settings.modelSize by title-casing a lowercased
alias — which worked for Tiny/Base/Small/Medium but produced
"Whisper-distil-small-en" for the new distil ids. Swap to an id→label map
and pass the raw model id through to download_model/load_model; the backend
already accepts full ids via the whisper_model_id fallback.

Wholesale JS -> TS migration of the frontend — stores, utils, actions,
and all Svelte component scripts adopt type annotations. Compile-time
surfaces (app.d.ts, lib/types/) added for shared DTO types.
Build plumbing:
- package.json: dev:frontend script that runs svelte-kit sync first
- tauri.conf.json: beforeDevCommand points at dev:frontend
- run.sh: dropped the sed-hack that temporarily blanked beforeDevCommand;
now relies on npm run dev:frontend to avoid double-Vite
- jsconfig.json: allowImportingTsExtensions
Preserves all Group 1 behaviour:
- page.svelte.ts keeps loadHistory / loadTasks Tauri-first, no
localStorage; saveTranscriptMeta + mapTranscriptRow + mapTaskRow
intact; update_task_cmd and update_transcript_meta_cmd invocations
carry the correct payload shape.
- Toasts, preferences stores typed without behaviour change.
- Viewer still routes segment edits through saveTranscriptMeta; the
Task 1.5 TODO markers are gone.
taskExtractor.ts is functionally improved during the migration:
- multi-task matches in the same sentence
- list-style shopping-verb expansion (get bread, milk, and cheese)

- New probe_system command: returns RAM, CPU, OS info
- New rank_models command: scores models against detected hardware
- FirstRunPage.svelte: hardware summary, ranked model list with
"Recommended" badge on top pick, download progress bar, skip option
- First-run detection in layout: checks list_models + list_parakeet_models,
shows wizard if both empty
- Sidebar hidden during first-run for clean wizard experience
- clippy clean
