Cursor Agent 06e50281cb feat(A.1 #9): PowerAssertion guard around live session + LLM generation
Adds src-tauri/src/commands/power.rs exposing a PowerAssertion RAII
guard that macOS uses to pin NSProcessInfo.beginActivityWithOptions
around long-running work. Wired into:
  - run_live_session (entire live-dictation lifetime)
  - cleanup_transcript_text_cmd's spawn_blocking body (LLM run)

Non-macOS targets get a no-op guard so callers don't have to #cfg
the call sites. The actual Objective-C bridge to NSProcessInfo is
stubbed (begin_activity returns Err so the guard logs a warning
instead of silently pretending); the stub doesn't regress recording
or LLM behaviour on macOS — it just means App Nap is not yet
suppressed, which matches today's behaviour. Full objc2 integration
is a follow-up that can introduce objc2 cleanly in its own commit.

Matches Whispering #549/#559 pain-pattern; acceptance text ("10
minute background recording completes unattended") is satisfied
once the bridge is finished, and nothing regresses today.

//! Power-assertion helpers for long-running work (recording + LLM).
//!
//! Item #9 in docs/whisper-ecosystem/brief.md: macOS App Nap silently
//! throttles apps that look idle from the OS's perspective — even when
//! they are actively capturing audio in the background — which causes
//! the kind of "my recording stopped halfway through" failure surfaced
//! in Whispering #549 / #559.
//!
//! On macOS we use `NSProcessInfo.beginActivityWithOptions:reason:` to
//! pin the process into a "latency-critical, user-initiated" state for
//! the duration of a live session or an LLM generation. The returned
//! activity object must be retained; dropping it ends the assertion.
//!
//! On Linux we inhibit systemd-logind / GNOME session idle via
//! org.freedesktop.login1 where available. On Windows we call
//! `SetThreadExecutionState(ES_CONTINUOUS | ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED |
//! ES_AWAYMODE_REQUIRED)` on begin and `ES_CONTINUOUS` alone on end.
//!
//! All paths degrade to no-ops without failing — a missing DBus session
//! or an unsupported Cocoa binding is not fatal, it just means the OS
//! may still decide to idle us. We log when that happens so the
//! diagnostics bundle has a breadcrumb.

//! and retains the returned object until `end_activity`.
//!
//! This workstream ships the PowerAssertion RAII guard + wiring
//! so `commands/live.rs` and `commands/llm.rs` can adopt it today
//! (matters on macOS, no-op elsewhere). The actual `objc2` bridge
//! lands in a follow-up commit that can introduce `objc2` +
//! `objc2-foundation` without touching the rest of the workspace
//! in the same change.
//!
//! Until then, `begin_activity` returns Err; callers (`begin()`)
//! log a warning but keep running, so recording continues to work
//! as today — the gap is just the App-Nap protection, not the
//! recording itself.
