Oracle re-review on PR #30 flagged that _ChatDetailViewState only
called onDraftChanged when _textCtl.text was non-empty. The empty
case is load-bearing: if the user restored a saved draft, deleted
the text, then switched target (or closed the panel), the parent's
draft map kept the stale entry and resurrected it on the next swap.
Fix: call onDraftChanged unconditionally in both didUpdateWidget
(target change) and dispose (tear-down), so the parent map learns
when a draft is now empty.
Adds a regression test exercising the restore-clear-swap sequence.
Clarify ONNX Runtime guidance with direct-open install hints, restore desktop WebRTC VAD visibility, map mouse side buttons through focused PTT capture/runtime paths, and wait for server acks before showing chat sends as successful.
Constraint: Linux release UX must stay functional when ONNX Runtime is optional and GNOME portal availability varies
Rejected: Keep desktop VAD locked to Silero only | misleads users when ONNX Runtime is skipped
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Preserve the protocol send-ack wait path for chat so UI success always tracks real server acceptance
