* fix(whispercpp): reuse an on-disk same-size weight at startup
The Settings picker already lets a downloaded same-size model stand in
when the language-derived sibling is absent, but the startup path never
applied it: a headless config with language=en-us and model_size=medium
demanded ggml-medium.en.bin while ggml-medium.bin sat in the models
directory and loads fine.
Move the stand-in into whispercpp_model_info.on_disk_stand_in so both
paths share it, and give resolve_whispercpp_variant a prefer_on_disk
flag that only language-derived results use: pinned variants and stored
specializations still load exactly what they name, the .en preference
still wins when that file is present, and checksum verification is
untouched. get_model_size_for_engine opts in so startup and headless
launches match the Settings semantics.
Fixes#916
* fix(whispercpp): keep is_model_downloaded free of makedirs
get_model_path creates the model directory for callers that are about to
write a file, but is_model_downloaded is a read-only probe: on a fresh
profile its makedirs ran inside tests that stub os.makedirs for the
config directory, breaking them, and a bare existence check should not
mutate the filesystem anyway. Resolve the file path without creating
directories in the probe; get_model_path keeps creating for writers.

* test(whispercpp): annotate the stand-in fixture's return type
AGENTS.md requires type hints on every signature; _downloaded returns the
context manager from patch.object.

Minor on the stable line. Faster Whisper and Parakeet extras, Speech Model simple setup, Snap uinput, Flatpak bundles on the tag, and QA fixes from the release branch.
Fixes tracked in the PR. Post-release follow-ups: #834.
* fix(models): let the selected language decide the whisper.cpp variant
whisper_cpp_model_size holds the id that loads the model, and for every size
below "large" the multilingual variant id is the bare size name. A stored
"medium" therefore could not say whether the user picked the multilingual
variant or never picked anything, so the language-aware default never ran and
selecting English left the picker on "Standard multilingual" while the panel
recommended English-only right underneath.
Record the specialization the user picks in its own key. Without that pin the
variant is derived from the language; a value that is not a bare size name was
written by an older build as a deliberate choice and is adopted as the pin, so
existing configurations keep the variant they had.
Closes#776

* fix(models): keep language-derived whisper.cpp variants unpinned
Auto-apply was writing the derived specialization into both the pin and
whisper_cpp_model_size, so a later language change fought a stale pin and a
leftover .en id. Only deliberate specializations are pinned now; unpinned
saves store the bare size and resolve against the current language.
* fix(models): keep multilingual whisper.cpp pins across languages
Language auto-apply cleared any pin that matched the new language default,
so an explicit multilingual choice made under English was lost when switching
away and back. Preserve bare-size pins that still match the selection; keep
language-derived and stale .en pins unpinned. Wrap the isort import for CI.
