fix(tui): restore voice push-to-talk parity (#20897)
* fix(tui): restore classic CLI voice push-to-talk parity

(cherry picked from commit 93b9ae301b)

* fix(tui): harden voice push-to-talk stop flow

Address review feedback from PR #16189 by stopping the active recorder before background transcription, documenting single-shot voice capture, and covering the TUI gateway flags with regression tests.

* fix(tui): preserve silent voice strike tracking

Keep single-shot voice recording's no-speech counter alive across starts so the TUI can still emit the three-strikes auto-disable event, and bind the auto-restart state at module scope for type checking.

* fix(tui): clean up voice stop failure path

Address follow-up review by naming the TUI flow as single-shot push-to-talk and cancelling the recorder when forced stop cannot produce a WAV.

* fix(tui): report busy voice capture starts

Return explicit start state from the voice wrapper so the TUI gateway does not report recording while forced-stop transcription is still cleaning up.

* fix(tui): handle busy voice record responses

Apply the gateway busy status immediately in the TUI and route forced-stop voice events to the session that sent the stop request.

* fix(tui): clear voice recording on null response

Treat a null voice.record RPC result as a failed optimistic start so the REC badge cannot stick after gateway-side errors.

* fix(tui): count silent manual voice stops

Preserve single-shot voice no-speech strikes through forced stop transcription so empty push-to-talk captures still trigger the three-strikes guard.

"""Process-wide voice recording + TTS API for the TUI gateway.
Wraps ``tools.voice_mode`` (recording/transcription) and ``tools.tts_tool``
(text-to-speech) behind idempotent, stateful entry points that the gateway's
``voice.record``, ``voice.toggle``, and ``voice.tts`` JSON-RPC handlers can
call from a dedicated thread. The gateway imports this module lazily so that
missing optional audio deps (sounddevice, faster-whisper, numpy) surface as
an ``ImportError`` at call time, not at startup.
Two usage modes are exposed:
* **Push-to-talk** (``start_recording`` / ``stop_and_transcribe``) — single
manually-bounded capture used when the caller drives the start/stop pair
explicitly.
* **Continuous (VAD)** (``start_continuous`` / ``stop_continuous``) — mirrors
the classic CLI voice mode: recording auto-stops on silence, transcribes,
hands the result to a callback, and then auto-restarts for the next turn.
Three consecutive no-speech cycles stop the loop and fire
``on_silent_limit`` so the UI can turn the mode off.
