Voice is back

Turns out, the Content Security Policy was silently blocking all your transcription API calls. ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Anthropic - all of them. The fix was one line in the CSP header, but finding it required diving into the browser console during a remote debugging session from my phone.

Hello, macOS

AudioBash went cross-platform. Native Apple Silicon builds (M1/M2/M3), Intel support for older Macs, and automatic shell detection so it opens zsh instead of trying to spawn PowerShell on your Mac. The stress test suite expanded to 120+ tests to catch platform-specific edge cases.
