Add the AI keyboard tab, Agent settings, and user-owned LLM key path for 1.7.0, including streaming answers and web-search transports without the built-in DeepSeek fallback.
- Add FlowKeepAliveMode (Dynamic Island vs PiP) with iCloud sync
- Settings: keep-alive picker; inactivity timeout only for Live Activity
- PiP: waveform sample-buffer controller, mic released between utterances

- FlowSessionManager branches hostReady, session start, and utterance paths
- UIBackgroundModes picture-in-picture; bilingual strings and tests

Use compliant permission prompts, align cloud ASR privacy disclosures, and default Flow sessions to a shorter inactivity window for safer resubmission.
Fix cold-start overlay recursion that overflowed the main-thread stack when
recording began while the ready overlay was still up; also remove temporary
on-screen Flow DEBUG panels after the orange-mic investigation, and land the
macOS overlay/catalog/layout polish plus related Flow recovery hardening.
Reduce perceived latency from key release to final text:
- Adaptive chunking: 2.5s first chunk + 5s follow-ups so short
utterances start on-device recognition while still recording.
- Session-level ASR warmup and audio-format cache reuse to remove
per-utterance cold-start of SpeechAnalyzer.
- Mirror live pipelined partials to the keyboard transcript line via
a new flow.transcriptionPartial App Group key + Darwin ping.
Also commits the accumulated custom language model, Flow session,
keyboard extension restructure, and Xiaomi MiMo provider work in
progress on this branch.
