The ear vanished whenever a voice conversation ran (the ConversationPill
replaces the whole controls row) and whenever a transient start refusal
marked the feature unavailable — so a persistent, config-backed setting
silently disappeared mid-session. The wake word is passive by design:
it should be visibly listening no matter what the GUI is doing, with
exactly one pause state — an active voice chat holding the mic.
- ConversationPill now renders the ear in paused form (disabled, EarOff,
'paused during voice chat' tooltip) so voice chat shows the listener
yielding the mic instead of the toggle vanishing.
- WakeWordButton hides only when the feature can't run AND isn't enabled
in config; $wakeWord gains 'enabled' (config truth from wake.status /
start/stop responses) so transient 'unavailable' refusals no longer
unmount the button.
- Busy agent turns never touched the listener (it keeps listening
through agent loops; wake.detected already opens a fresh session),
and now they can't hide the toggle either.
- New i18n key wakeWordPausedVoice across en/ja/zh/zh-hant.
Tests: ear mounted during busy turn, mounted through refusal when
config-enabled, hidden when unavailable+disabled, paused ear disabled
inside the pill. 29 vitest green across controls + wake-word store.
