Clarify permission prompts so users understand that the microphone captures their voice while system audio captures other participants in calls. Adds "We never record your screen" messaging across all 10 locales. Electron 39 switches macOS audio capture to the CoreAudio Tap API, which presents a "System Audio Recording Only" permission instead of the old "Screen & System Audio Recording" grant — eliminating the purple menu-bar indicator and the "Your screen is being observed" lock-screen message. - Rename all "Screen Recording" UI text to "System Audio" (10 languages) - Update microphone copy: "Captures your voice for transcription" - Add NSAudioCaptureUsageDescription to electron-builder.json - Upgrade Electron ^36.9.5 → ^39.0.0 - Upgrade better-sqlite3 ^11.10.0 → ^12.4.2 (V8 compat) - Bump version to 1.6.3, update CHANGELOG, README prerequisites - Regenerate lockfile with Node 22
