## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Transcriptions now produce structured meeting summaries (strict JSON)
and a normalized, speaker‑tagged, non‑overlapping transcript with legacy
projection support.
* **API**
* Submission accepts richer transcription input; results return
source‑audio metadata, slice manifest, quality indicators, normalized
segments/transcript, and structured summary JSON.
* **Frontend**
* Recording flow stores transcription metadata and uploads preprocessed
audio slices with slice/quality info; UI-side result normalization
applied.
* **Tests**
* Expanded unit, contract, and e2e coverage for normalization, payload
parsing, persistence/retry, and end‑to‑end transcription flows.

## What this PR does
Closes#13869
Adds a global setting to toggle image anti-aliasing in AFFiNE.
When disabled, images are rendered using nearest-neighbor scaling
(`image-rendering: pixelated`), preserving crisp pixels for pixel art,
sprites, icons, and low-resolution images.
## Why
Anti-aliasing causes small images to become blurry when scaled,
making it difficult to work with pixel art and technical assets.
## How to test
1. Open Settings → Appearance → Images
2. Toggle “Smooth image rendering”
3. Observe image scaling behavior:
- ON: smooth / anti-aliased
- OFF: pixelated / nearest-neighbor
## Notes
- Frontend-only change
- No backend required

antialiasing on/off (setting is persisted).
* **Style**
* When antialiasing is turned off, images render with pixelated scaling
for a crisp, non-smoothed look.
* **Localization**
* Added English labels and description for the new Images and
antialiasing options.

When recording is started, we start polling the pending raw buffers that are waiting for encoding. The buffers are determined by the cursor of the original raw buffer file. When recording is stopped, we will flush the pending buffers and wrap the encoded chunks into WebM.
