Phases 0-1 of #701. Drops dead deps, moves vosk to an optional extra, adds uv.lock and hash-pinned requirements exports, pins pywhispercpp to 1.5.0.
Closes#705. Refs #701.
Stacked bottom of #701. Replaces Makefile with justfile and hardens install.sh (strict mode, logging, HTTP probes, curl -f on model downloads, no v0.10.1-beta fallback).
Closes#700.
Repo links, install one-liners, and release checks now use
github.com/VocaHQ/vocalinux. The site mentions VocaHQ without a redesign.
The Codeberg mirror, personal email, and X handle are unchanged.

* chore(release): prepare v0.14.2
IBus stability patch on the 0.14 series: engine process launch after XDG
import (#534) and FocusIn gate for first dictation on GNOME Wayland (#533).
Keep 0.14 series feature list in README/UPDATE for patch releases; changelog
and AppStream note only the delta. Document that rule in RELEASE_PROCESS.

- AUR: sha256sums=SKIP until tag; document updpkgsums in RELEASE_PROCESS

Bump version from 0.6.0-beta to 0.6.1-beta with installation improvements:
Version Updates:
- src/vocalinux/version.py: 0.6.0-beta → 0.6.1-beta
- install.sh: Default tag and help text updated
- web/package.json: 0.6.0 → 0.6.1

- docs/UPDATE.md: Added v0.6.1-beta release notes with new features
- docs/INSTALL.md: Version references updated
- docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md: Example commands updated

New Features in v0.6.1-beta:
- Interactive backend selection for whisper.cpp (GPU vs CPU)
- Enhanced welcome message with testing instructions
- Simplified install commands (tag-based URLs)
- Better GPU support with proper library detection
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed bash arithmetic with set -e
- Fixed TTY detection for interactive mode
- Auto-install git if missing
- Fixed GPU installation commands
Changed install commands to download install.sh directly from the release
tag instead of from main branch with --tag parameter. This ensures:
1. The install script version matches the release being installed
2. No version mismatch between script and code
3. Simpler, cleaner install commands
Changes:
- install.sh: Updated error message to use v0.6.0-beta URL
- README.md: All install commands now use v0.6.0-beta/install.sh
- docs/INSTALL.md: Updated quick install command
- docs/UPDATE.md: Updated update command examples
- docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md: Updated example command
- src/vocalinux/main.py: Updated error message install command
- tests/distro-testing-checklist.md: Updated download URL
- web/src/app/page.tsx: Now uses dynamic tag in URL (not main)
- .github/workflows/release.yml: Release notes use tag-based URL
Before:
curl .../main/install.sh | bash -s -- --tag=v0.6.0-beta
After:
curl .../v0.6.0-beta/install.sh | bash
Fixes version consistency between install script and installed code.
