- Keep the chosen mic label visible when it disconnects and show a disconnected hint while falling back to system default.
- Avoid clearing the preferred mic on device changes so it auto-restores when available.
- Add audio input change and default-input logs in voice wake runtime/tester/meter to debug routing.
Why: Start Test is a local verification tool, but it was forwarding transcripts to the gateway/chat, which confused users and made tests look like real commands.
What: stop forwarding from VoiceWakeTester and clarify in docs that the tester does not send to the gateway.
Why: voice wake tests often delivered partial/final transcripts without reliable word timings, so trigger matching failed, timeouts overwrote detections, and test runs/mic capture kept running after UI changes.
What: add text-only/prefix fallback and silence-based detection in the test flow, stop/clean up any prior test, cancel timeout on detection/stop, and tear down meter/test when the Voice Wake tab is inactive. Runtime detection now falls back on final text-only matches when timing is missing. UI state now reflects finalizing and prevents hanging tests.
