Neil fece03b5ac fix(orcad): voice dictation on headless orca serve hosts (#31217)
* fix(orcad): voice dictation on headless orca serve hosts

Mobile dictation against an orca serve host answered speech_unavailable
since serve moved to orcad: orcad never installed the speech service
factories, and the model manager and download imported Electron.

The model download now takes a host request opener (Chromium net on the
desktop, Node https on orcad, with redirects mapped to the same event),
the STT worker ships in the orcad slot, and orca serve hands orcad the
installed app's on-device recognizer. A host without a recognizer (an
SSH or WSL managed slot) lists only cloud models and sends a phone that
picked an on-device model to the setup sheet. Mobile names the fix when
an older server still has no speech at all.

The parity test now requires both roots to install speech.

Reported-by: delorean2020 (@delorean2020)

* fix(orcad): retry Node download drops, stage the recognizer on Windows, review fixes

- Node https errors (ECONNRESET, ETIMEDOUT, ...) are retryable, so an
  interrupted orcad model download resumes (Codex P2).
- On Windows orca serve hands orcad a per-version copy of the recognizer
  in the profile, so a loaded addon never locks the app's files against
  an update (Opus).
- Drop a recognizer candidate path that could never match; one SAFETY
  helper per test file instead of repeated casts; comments.

* fix(orcad): cloud speech is ready only with a key this host can decrypt; prune superseded recognizer copies

Codex round 2: a desktop-sealed OpenAI key exists on disk but orcad's
secret store cannot open it, so the catalog reported cloud models ready
and dictation failed at the end. orcad's model manager now proves the
key decrypts. The desktop keeps its existence check (no keychain prompt).

* fix(orcad): never prune staged recognizers before the profile lock; copy linked packages as real files

Codex round 3. ref-oss check: versioned copies are cleaned only by the
process that owns them, so the pre-lock prune is dropped rather than
patched.

* fix(orcad): remove a partial recognizer copy when staging fails (Codex round 4)

* fix(speech): never hand out another store's ciphertext as the OpenAI key (Codex round 5)

* refactor(orcad): no recognizer copy on Windows; Windows orcad keeps cloud dictation only

Design check after review round 5: every remaining finding came from the
Windows copy that dodges addon file locks. Dropping it shrinks the
surface to a path lookup; Linux and macOS serve keep on-device models.

* fix(speech): name the fix when an old server refuses a mic tap; always set the recognizer env; retry ENOTFOUND (final Opus review)

* fix(managed-server): probe install completeness relative to the slot dir

CI: shipping stt-worker.js added one more absolute slot path to the
install-complete probe, pushing it further past the exec-size budget.
Testing each artifact relative to the slot (inside a subshell cd) cuts
the probe from ~12.2 KB to ~3.6 KB, so it drops off the over-budget
list instead of raising a ceiling.

* fix(mobile): pin host.platform's read to a platform type, independent of which zod copy resolves

With mobile's own dependencies installed (which CI does for any PR that
touches mobile/), the e2e program resolves two zod copies, and the
salvaged platform arm from src/shared inferred as {}. The schema now
narrows through an explicit platform guard.

* fix(mobile): keep the host.platform read line intact for its RPC mutant; narrow in a second step

Mobile verify: the recorded-RPC mutant anchors on the read line, which
the previous guard rewrote, so the mutant could not apply.

* refactor(cli): app-executable resolution in its own module; drop the platform guard now zod is aligned

launch.ts went one line past max-lines with main; resolveAppRoot,
resolveForegroundOrcaExecutable, getExecutableAppArgs and
stripElectronRunAsNode move to orca-app-executable.ts (re-exported, so
callers are unchanged). With mobile and root on one zod (#31260), the
host.platform schema no longer needs the extra narrowing step.

* refactor(cli): import app-executable helpers from their module; no re-exports from launch.ts
