Keep overlay visible while transcribing

[so1omon563]

Description

Keep the normal dictation overlay visible in its existing “Transcribing” state until final transcription finishes, then hide it through the shared post-output lifecycle.

The regression came from a normal-dictation-only branch that requested an asynchronous overlay hide before asr.stop() began. Removing that special case lets normal dictation use the same processing lifecycle already used by AI, Command, Rewrite, prompt-test, and sandbox routes.

Testing

• Tested on Intel Mac
• Tested on Apple Silicon Mac
• Tested on macOS version: 26.5.2
• Ran linter locally: swiftlint --strict --config .swiftlint.yml Sources (SwiftLint is not installed locally)
• Ran formatter locally: swiftformat --config .swiftformat Sources (SwiftFormat is not installed locally)
• Ran tests locally: xcodebuild test -project Fluid.xcodeproj -scheme Fluid -destination 'platform=macOS,arch=arm64'

Also verified with swiftc -parse, git diff --check, an unsigned app build, and a real normal-dictation stop cycle. Runtime benchmarks confirmed processing=true before asr.stop(), the overlay remained visible while final transcription ran, and hide began only after asr.stop() returned.

Screenshots / Video

Before: reporter’s screen recording showing the overlay disappearing before transcription completes.

• No UI/visual changes; screenshots/video are not applicable.

Notes

This removes 19 net lines and adds no new state or abstraction.

Greptile Summary

The PR keeps the dictation overlay in its “Transcribing” state while final ASR processing completes, then routes normal dictation through the existing shared post-output hide lifecycle.

• Removes the normal-dictation-only early overlay hide.
• Unconditionally activates processing UI before awaiting asr.stop().
• Simplifies empty and successful output cleanup to use the shared overlay lifecycle.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge, with the normal dictation overlay now following the established processing lifecycle.

The changed stop path keeps processing active through final transcription and all reachable completion branches retain an explicit processing-state cleanup or intentional failure presentation.
