Known Issues to Watch For

• Broken pipe panic: If piping voxtype output through head, may see panic (cosmetic)
• Language detection: Without speech, Whisper may detect random languages (expected)
• Empty transcription: Normal when no actual speech is captured
• Notification icon mismatch: Parakeet binary with Whisper config may show wrong icon
