feat(audio): lower other audio while dictating (#861)

* feat(audio): lower other audio while dictating

Opt-in setting lowers the default PipeWire or PulseAudio sink while the
microphone is open, then restores that exact level. It stays off by default.

* fix(test): keep pytest.approx working when numpy is mocked

Other test modules replace sys.modules["numpy"] with a MagicMock at import
and leave it there. pytest.approx then crashes on isinstance(..., numpy.bool_).

* fix(audio): restore every channel and do not duck if it cannot be undone

A failed restore-point write no longer lowers the sink. PulseAudio puts
each channel back, and a dead microphone restores playback instead of
waiting for an explicit stop. The recognition test patches the real
audio module when an older test left a mock behind.

* fix(test): put the audio-feedback mock back after the ducking test

The recognition test has to patch the real module, but later tests still
expect the mock that test_text_injector installs. Restore that mock when
the test ends, and annotate the new helpers.

* fix(test): annotate the playback-duck tests

AGENTS.md requires a type hint on every new function. These tests were the
ones still missing them.

* fix(audio): skip arming playback duck after recording already failed

* chore: retrigger review after rebase

On non-US layouts such as German Neo, that chord uses the key that types **v** on the active layout (not physical KEY_V). Nested terminal panels inside an IDE are often invisible to window-class detection. If paste lands as a literal `^V` or does nothing, open **Settings → Dictation → Clipboard Paste Shortcut** and choose **Ctrl+Shift+V**.
**Other audio.** Settings → Audio → Other audio can lower speakers and headphones while the microphone is open, then put that volume back. It stays off until you turn it on. Level while dictating is a percent of the current volume (0 is silent). Quitting mid-dictation puts the volume back; if the app crashes first, the next launch does.
