fix(web): voice input no longer shifts the composer's model controls - #32000
Starting voice input pushed the composer's model picker and runtime controls to the left, because the recording pill was inserted into the same row.
Now the voice controls take over the space on the right where the model controls sit. The model controls fade out, and the waveform, timer, cancel and confirm controls fade and slide in where they were. The waveform is now 12 compact bars that follow the mic level (no looping animation).
VoiceWaveform: 12 bars (2px wide, 14px tall), each scaled by the mic level and shrunk to a 2px dot when silent. In a narrow row the oldest bars are clipped and the newest stay visible, so the pill never overflows. Settings > Microphone test reuses this waveform; its stop button is pushed to the right edge, as before.
VoiceInputPill is capped at the width available to it. On main, a narrow composer pushes the model picker off-screen and the cancel button lands on top of the attach button.
The overlay sits outside the controls container, which the composer re-measures whenever its contents change, so the ticking timer does not trigger re-measuring.
Scope and approval
There is no prior issue or approval for this. The UI bothered me a bit, so I fixed it the way I think it would look good. Maintainers are free to close or reject this PR.
Evidence
Each pair below was captured at the same window size. The recording screenshots use a temporary fake recording state with a frozen mic level, because a real recording needs a 697 MB speech model download. That fake is not part of this diff.

No video of the transition is attached. Switching to the voice controls takes about 200ms. When voice input ends, the voice controls disappear without an exit animation while the model controls fade back in over 150ms.

Recording now swaps the composer's right-side controls for the voice controls in place, instead of pushing the model picker left. The waveform is 12 compact bars driven by the mic level.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Active voice controls now overlay the composer controls rather than changing their measured layout. The remaining changes are visual adjustments, with recording actions and product defaults unchanged.

Walkthrough
The composer now displays the recording pill in its expanded controls when speech input is available and not idle. The pill status and waveform presentation have changed. The microphone test Stop recording button now has automatic inline-start spacing.
When speech input is available and not idle, the recording pill appears in the expanded composer controls. The primary-actions area retains the speech button without the recording pill.
Recording and microphone presentation apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerSpeechButton.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/VoiceInputPill.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/MicrophoneTest.tsx
The recording status no longer has a decorative dot and appears before the cancel button. The waveform uses 12 bars, fixed gaps, and a minimum scale; the pill is constrained to its available width. The Stop recording button receives automatic inline-start spacing.
Voice input now shows its recording controls without shifting the model picker and runtime controls. The only remaining item is a low-risk check that narrow-width before/after captures cover the final layout.

…hen narrow
The waveform clips its oldest bars instead of its newest, and the microphone test timer no longer wraps; its stop button is pushed to the edge instead.
Merged current main (merge commit, no rebase). The one conflict was VoiceInputPill: main added data-slot="voice-input-pill" for the full-width citation comment editor (#32142), and this PR added max-w-full. The pill now keeps both. vp run check:changed passes on the merged head.
