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).
