feat(v1.2.0): Final Release - Native Audio, Smart VAD, Auto-Loop & Quality Fixes

- Implemented standard 48kHz audio pipeline to fix sample rate mismatch/distortion
- Added Native System Audio (ScreenCaptureKit) support
- Implemented Smart VAD (Voice Activity Detection) with Auto-Start on valid audio
- Added Auto-Loop: Automatically re-arms recording after stop
- Added Empty Guard: Prevents transcribing silent recordings (< 20s empty)
- Increased Pre-Roll buffer to 3.0s to prevent cut-off speech
- Fixed clipping with clamped audio mixing

+# Release Notes - Hearbit AI v1.2.0
+
+## 🚀 Neuheiten
+
+### Native System Audio (ScreenCaptureKit)
+Wir haben die Audio-Engine komplett erneuert!
+- **Keine Treiber mehr:** Sie müssen BlackHole nicht mehr installieren.
+- **Funktioniert überall:** Egal ob Teams, Zoom, Webex, Nextcloud Talk oder 3CX – die App hört jetzt nativ mit.
+- **Berechtigung:** Die App fragt beim ersten Start nach der "Bildschirmaufnahme"-Berechtigung. Dies ist der moderne Apple-Standard für Audio-Capture.
+
+### Smart VAD (Intelligente Spracherkennung)
+- **Ignoriert Musik:** Die App unterscheidet jetzt präzise zwischen menschlicher Sprache und Musik.
+- **Wartebereich-Filter:** Musik im Teams-Wartebereich wird nicht mehr aufgenommen. Die Aufnahme startet erst, wenn wirklich gesprochen wird.
+
+### UI Verbesserungen
+- **Neuer Setup-Flow:** Das komplizierte Audio-Setup wurde entfernt.
+- **Freie Wahl:** Nutzen Sie jedes Mikrofon, das Sie möchten.
+
+## 🛠️ Technische Änderungen
+- Update auf `screencapturekit` Framework (macOS 12.3+ erforderlich).
+- BlackHole-Abhängigkeit entfernt.
+- Audio-Mixing direkt in der App.
