What is new in TypeNo 1.4.1

## Bug Fixes

### Duplicate Overlay Text
Fixed a bug where the compact overlay rendered all text twice — transcription results, live preview, error messages, and update notifications all appeared as duplicated lines (fixes #50, thanks @contributor via #51).

### Reliable ffmpeg / coli Detection
TypeNo now resolves your login shell's full `PATH` and injects it into the `coli` subprocess environment. This fixes the case where the GUI app could not find `ffmpeg` even though it was installed and worked in Terminal (#42).

## Install

1. Download `TypeNo.app.zip`
2. Unzip and move `TypeNo.app` to `/Applications`
3. Open TypeNo

**Prerequisites:** Node.js + ffmpeg + coli speech engine:

```bash
brew install ffmpeg
npm install -g @marswave/coli
```
