Notification toasts are too noisy during normal recording flow #1373

Description

@aspiers

Recording a clip currently fires four separate toasts: one when recording starts, one when it stops, one when the audio is being transcribed, and one when transcription completes. On top of that, a fifth toast appears whenever audio compression kicks in.

For casual or frequent use this gets old fast. Every transcription is a parade of status updates for something that works fine and needs no acknowledgment. The visual noise competes with the actual transcribed text that the user cares about.

The right behavior is probably to surface toasts only when something goes wrong, or possibly to show a single quiet status indicator that doesn't demand attention. Success is the happy path; it doesn't need celebrating five times per recording.
