Merge pull request 'Release v26.04.13.1' (#19) from dev into main

Voice: recreate AudioRecorder each session to avoid stale native
state, improve permission handling (re-check after settings), show
feedback after 3 consecutive empty transcripts, allow STT-only mode
when TTS is unavailable.

Knowledge: hydrate IDs immediately after loading more pages so
scroll-based pagination doesn't stall at the bottom.
