Fixes the slow first take
On the parakeet-mlx engine, the first dictation after launching used to take several seconds (then everything sped up). Cause: MLX compiles the model's Metal kernels on the first decode of a fresh process (~3-10s); every decode after is sub-second.
voxtype now warms the decoder up during startup — a throwaway decode runs on the worker thread while you still see "loading …", so that one-time compile happens off your first real take.
Result: the first real decode is now ~0.15s instead of ~3s; steady-state is unchanged (~0.12-0.4s, 16-52x realtime). The earlier MLX memory-cache fix was confirmed not the cause (decode timing is identical with and without it).
Upgrade:
:::bash
uv tool install --force --refresh voxtype
