Prioritize external transcription endpoint over browser Web Speech API
Previously the on-device Web Speech API (Chrome/Edge/Safari) was always preferred, and the configured external transcription endpoint was only used as a fallback when the browser had no speech API at all (Firefox). Flip the priority in Composer.tsx: if a transcription endpoint is configured in Settings, use it for dictation regardless of browser support, since it's generally far more accurate. Fall back to the browser's on-device SpeechRecognition only when no endpoint is set. Update the Settings hint text and README to describe the new behavior. Rebuilt and redeployed to the repo root.

## Notes & limitations
|
||||
|
||||
- **Voice is client-side.** The API server has no `/transcribe` or `/tts`
|
||||
endpoint, so dictation uses the browser's `SpeechRecognition` and replies use
|
||||
`speechSynthesis`. Support varies by browser (best on Chrome/Edge/Safari).
|
||||
endpoint. If a transcription endpoint is configured in Settings (any
|
||||
OpenAI-compatible `/v1/audio/transcriptions` server), it's used for
|
||||
dictation; otherwise dictation falls back to the browser's on-device
|
||||
`SpeechRecognition`. Spoken replies always use `speechSynthesis`. Support
|
||||
varies by browser (best on Chrome/Edge/Safari).
|
||||
- **Profiles.** The API server routes profiles via a `/p/<profile>/…` prefix, and
|
||||
each profile has its own `API_SERVER_KEY`. Add one connection per profile to
|
||||
see them all; the sidebar switches between connections.
