Full Release Notes

### ✨ New Features
- **(Major) LLM Connect** — Connect Murmure to a local LLM (Ollama) to enhance, correct, or reformat transcriptions through post‑processing. Includes presets for translation, medical dictation, development, and automatic reformulation.
- **(Major) Formatting Rules** — Automatic text transformations: add trailing spaces, insert spaces before `?!`, convert text-to-numbers, or apply custom find/replace rules.
- **Toggle-to-Talk Mode** — New alternative to push‑to‑talk: press once to start recording, press again to stop. Thanks to @nicolascrop.
- **Sound Feedback** — Audio cues when starting and stopping a recording.

### ♻️ Refactor
- Improved UI notifications.
- Backend refactor aligned with SRP principles.
- Dictionary configuration migration in preparation for import/export support. Thanks to @icristescu.

### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed overlay misalignment with fractional display scaling. Thanks to @flomillot (PR #73).
- Fixed a transcription pipeline issue where processing would stop when the transcription was empty, preventing dictionary rules, formatting rules, and LLM post‑processing from being triggered.

### 🧪 Experimental
- Added an **experimental macOS build (Intel architecture only)**.
