What is new in LokalBot 0.10.3

## What’s new

- **Steadier dictation feedback.** The recording overlay keeps its position and transcript space as dictation starts and finishes, follows light and dark appearance, and avoids flashing the preparation panel for short model checks. The microphone can start while LokalBot reads the original destination field.
- **More consistent autocomplete.** Slow caret lookup no longer holds up a ready suggestion, typing through a suggestion preserves its continuation, and window titles refresh when a composer is reused.
- **Corrected Parakeet v3 model loading.** Loading and download detection now use the encoder included in the pinned model files.
- **Optional Parakeet Ultra transcription.** Choose Parakeet Ultra 0.6B for local meetings and dictation, with a separate download of about 0.63 GB.

### After updating

Existing transcription choices are preserved. Qwen3-ASR remains the default recommendation; Parakeet Ultra is an optional download.

### Known limitations

Remaining autocomplete cases involving saved-fact freshness, conversation changes, and visual-caret capture scope are documented in the [autocomplete review](https://github.com/stevyhacker/lokalbot/blob/v0.10.3/Docs/autocomplete-review-2026-10-08.md). This release includes the timing and continuation fixes and the window-title refresh, but does not resolve every finding in that review.
