New installs start detecting instead of being locked to one language; a stored
value from before this default still wins. The dictation chain asks
transcribe_detected() in auto mode, records the detected code in history as
speech_language, hands it to the cleanup prompt (a detected Turkish recording
gets the Turkish prompt and glossary rule), and reports it on the socket reply.
The stale comment claiming whisper.cpp's -l auto does not detect is corrected.
The spoken language is only knowable when the transcription model reports it,
and only whisper.cpp does: the hosted endpoints accept auto but never say what
they heard. transcribe_detected() asks for detection exactly where it can be
answered, the local server in auto mode, by requesting verbose_json with
no_language_probabilities switched back on for that one request (the server
runs with -nlp, which keeps the sweep off everything else).
