Fix a desktop-session freeze (forced logout/reboot) caused by the overlay's
AT-SPI caret tracker: it subscribed to the high-frequency object:text-caret-moved
signal and made synchronous, blocking AT-SPI reads from inside the event handler,
re-entering the a11y dispatcher and getting stormed by the app's own xdotool
typing until GNOME stopped responding. Now track focus changes only and read the
caret rectangle lazily, once, when the overlay shows — never on the hot path.
Fuse voice-routing feedback into the overlay instead of a desktop notification:
show the matched preset's emoji, name, and spoken keyword on a banner, narrate
the phase (Transcribing -> Rewriting), and stream the LLM rewrite into the bubble
token-by-token. Redundant per-dictation notifications are suppressed when the
overlay is present (errors still notify); headless/overlay-off is unchanged.

- Local-Whisper Device + Compute type now live under the STT engine section
("Local engine — device & precision"), removed from the General tab. The
local engine's Model field shows the effective whisper size.
- LLM engines gain a Type field (local | cloud), mirroring STT, stored in config.

- stt.py: local + remote (OpenAI-compatible) transcription, TCP reachability
status, benchmark. Tested live against faster-whisper-server :8010.
- llm.py: LLM engine presets (url/model/key/temperature) + chat + status.
Tested live against local Qwen :19001 and llama-swap :28080.
- config: [stt]/[[stt_engine]] and [llm]/[[llm_engine]] presets with active
selectors; defaults synthesized from legacy [whisper]/[rewrite].
- daemon: transcribe via active STT engine, rewrite via active LLM engine;
load local Whisper only when the active STT engine is local.
- Rename package entry __main__.py -> blitztext.py (thin __main__ shim keeps
`python -m blitztext` working). Remove rewrite.py (folded into llm.py).
- App icon extracted from the macOS AppIcon.icns; installed at several hicolor
sizes by the .deb and used as the window icon. Drop placeholder SVG.
