BYOK tab → OpenAI or xAI key + pathway

Requirements

1. Local microphone capture (`sox` or `ffmpeg`)

The extension records via a local CLI tool on the computer running the UI (your Mac/PC — including Remote-SSH windows, because this is a UI extension).

Platform	Install (pick one)
macOS	`brew install sox` or `brew install ffmpeg`
Linux	`sudo apt install sox` / `ffmpeg` (or distro equivalent); ffmpeg often needs PulseAudio (`pulse`)
Windows	Install ffmpeg and put it on `PATH` (e.g. winget/choco), or sox if available

Without sox/ffmpeg, record falls back to a silent stub WAV (pipeline test only — not real speech).

This is not a remote-server requirement. Do not install sox only on the SSH host for mic capture.

2. Seat key (`kv2c_…`)

Auto free key on first activate, or
Checkout success / Set API Key

3. BYOK for STT
