Bump version to 1.4.0 and cut the [1.4.0] - 2026-06-07 changelog section:
- "Announce matched preset" notification (shown even hands-free) + per-preset
emoji icons.
- Voice-routing no-keyword default now prefers a transcribe preset instead of
the first preset.
Refresh the README status line.

Bump version to 1.3.0 and cut the [1.3.0] - 2026-06-07 changelog section
(wakeword pause toggle, independent hands-free audio cues, configurable
auto-stop silence, notification hygiene, PortAudio noise suppression, and the
new MANUAL.md). Refresh the README status line.

Reported issues from hands-free use:
- Wakeword WAVs didn't play: the new "Play audio cues" master switch
([sounds] enabled) also gated the hands-free Sound: detected/captured cues,
so enabled=false silenced them. The cues live in a separate UI section, so
this was surprising. Wakeword cues are now independent of that switch: they
play whenever a file is set, and an empty field means silent (no system-chime
fallback) — which is also how you turn a hands-free cue off. The master switch
now governs only the manual (keyboard) before/after chimes.
- Clarified the four sound fields' tooltips/labels (detected/captured = hands-free
only; before/after = manual only) and the empty-field behaviour.
- New "Silence to stop (s)" setting (Settings → Input → Hands-free, or
[wakeword] silence_seconds, default 2.0): user-defined trailing-silence
timeout for hands-free auto-stop (was hard-coded to 2.5 s).
- Add MANUAL.md documenting every setting in every tab; link it from the README.
Tests: cue independence + manual-gating + roundtrip (17 passed).

Replace the cramped thumbnail tables in the root and linux READMEs with one
full-width image per Settings tab (Presets, Engines, Input, Wakeword, General,
Benchmark, Log, About), each followed by a caption explaining what the tab does.

- ci.yml: drop the macOS build job (Xcode/xcodegen/build.sh); keep the
Linux test job and move the secret-hygiene scan into it
- PR template: replace ./build.sh checklist item with the Linux test
suite; fix "macOS preview scope" -> "Linux preview scope"
- README: add a control-panel + tray hero image and a Screenshots
gallery (settings tabs + hands-free wakeword)
- Track Screenshots/wakeword.png
The BlitztextMac/ source tree, root build.sh, and stale docs/screenshots
were removed from the entire git history in a separate history rewrite.
