Improve capsule recording feedback

[Michealmyson]

User description

Summary

This PR improves the dictation capsule feedback during recording and processing.

Changes:

• Show elapsed recording time in the capsule, e.g. Recording 00:08.
• Split processing feedback into clearer states:
  • Transcribing
  • Polishing
  • Inserting
• Emit an explicit inserting capsule state before text insertion.
• Show clearer completion messages, including inserted character count.
• Add i18n strings for zh-CN, zh-TW, en, ja, and ko.

Why

Previously the capsule mainly showed generic thinking/inserted feedback, so users could not tell whether the app was recording, transcribing, polishing, or inserting. This makes the voice input flow easier to understand and reduces the feeling that the app is stuck.

Verification

• Ran npm run build successfully.
• Built and manually tested the macOS app locally.
• Verified that the capsule shows elapsed recording time and processing states.

I've already modified the capsule logic in the new version, and I prefer typeless capsule processing logic, having changed it to the thinking and inclusion parts. So, I've received your PR, but I've decided to close it.
