"""Local speech-to-text via faster-whisper.

Deliberately torch-free: faster-whisper runs on CTranslate2 (CPU, int8), so it
fits the "no ML stack in the venv" rule that keeps Promethean small. Replaces
the browser's Web Speech API, which in Chrome ships audio to Google — the whole
point is to keep dictation on-device.

Model size via NEXUS_STT_MODEL (default "base"); downloaded and cached on first
use. If faster-whisper isn't installed, `available()` is False and the backend
reports it so the UI can fall back.
