Jatin K MalikandGitHub b5f67b4bc0 ux: Add Apply/Cancel to Settings Dialog + Recognition Progress (#108)
* feat: Add Apply/Cancel buttons and recognition progress feedback to settings dialog

- Add Apply and Cancel buttons to settings dialog alongside Close button
- Implement response handler to manage Apply, Cancel, and Close actions
- Add recognition progress feedback UI with status indicator and audio level
- Show real-time recognition state (Idle/Listening/Processing/Error)
- Display audio level bar during recognition activities
- Add success/error feedback when applying or reverting settings
- Connect dialog to speech recognition manager for live progress updates
- Improve test recognition functionality with progress feedback

Resolves #93

* docs: Add comprehensive UX research and inline design rationale

- Add RESEARCH.md with UX research findings, industry benchmarks, and citations
- Research covers: GNOME HIG, WCAG 2.1 AA, HCI speech recognition patterns, Linux desktop UX
- Add inline UX comments to settings_dialog.py explaining key design decisions
- Document rationale for Apply/Cancel pattern vs immediate-apply
- Document multi-modal progress feedback approach (text + icon + audio level)
- Reference industry standards: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Google Docs Voice Typing
- Include accessibility compliance notes and WCAG citations

PR #108 now includes research-backed justifications for all UX decisions.

* fix: use proper callback API and add cleanup on dialog destroy

- Use register_audio_level_callback() instead of direct list append
- Add _on_dialog_destroy() to clean up callbacks when dialog closes
- Remove RESEARCH.md (not needed for the implementation)
