Bug: a stale /tmp/wake_muted flag silently disabled wakeword detection
with no in-app way to clear it (the flag was read but never written by
any code or UI).
- wakeword.py: expose MUTE_FILE + is_muted()/set_muted() helpers
- tray.py: add a "Pause wakeword" CheckMenuItem (shown when wakeword is
enabled) that toggles the flag and reflects current state
- config.py: document the tray toggle instead of the bare /tmp file
- CHANGELOG: record the wakeword pause toggle and the existing notify
hygiene fixes (transient/single-bubble notifications, silent
hands-free sessions)

Replace the tkinter panel with a GTK3 control panel (gtkui.py) + settings
dialog (gtksettings.py): rounded CSD window, gradient background, circular icon
avatars, hotkey pills, hover states, Ubuntu font. Runs on the GTK main loop,
unified with the AppIndicator tray (no tkinter event-loop pump). Status updates
marshalled via GLib.idle_add. Removes the old tkinter gui.py.

The upstream app is macOS-only (Swift/SwiftUI, CoreML/WhisperKit) and can't
run on Linux or in a container. This adds a native host tool under linux/ that
reproduces the workflow: focus any text field, press a hotkey, speak, and the
optionally-rewritten text is typed into that field.
- Engine: pynput global hotkeys → mic record → local faster-whisper →
optional OpenAI-compatible rewrite → xdotool typing into the focused window
- Frontends: system tray (AppIndicator, default), tkinter control panel,
and headless modes
- Config-driven workflows in ~/.config/blitztext/config.toml with per-workflow
prompt/model/temperature overrides
- Packaging: install.sh, requirements.txt, systemd user unit
- Targets X11; local transcription runs CPU int8 on this arm64 host
See linux/CHANGELOG.md and linux/README.md for details.
