install -m644 guarantees world-readable regardless of umask, so
`sudo apt install ~/blitztext_*.deb` works without a manual chmod.

The live waveform and silence auto-stop countdown were driven by a level
meter that was the last user of sounddevice/PortAudio, which hangs opening
the default input on PipeWire systems — so both stayed blank on the hotkey
and wakeword paths alike. Rewrite LevelMeter to stream raw PCM from the same
recorder as the WAV path (pw-record/parecord/arecord) and RMS it; identical
API, scaling, and ~10 Hz cadence. Also fixes the Settings mic-level preview.
Set GLib prgname/application name to "Blitztext" before any window is
realized (and add StartupWMClass to the .desktop) so the taskbar and GNOME's
"… is not responding" dialog show the app name instead of "__main__.py",
without touching the `python -m blitztext` entry point.

- 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.

packaging/build-deb.sh builds an installable blitztext_<ver>_arm64.deb with a
desktop entry, app icon, and launcher. Bundles a relocatable venv (all Python
deps, no pip at install) and declares system deps (python3-gi, xdotool,
libnotify-bin, recorder). Built on /usr/bin/python3 so the tray works out of
the box. Installs via the Software app or `apt install ./…deb`.
