Add src/snackbar.py: a frameless, always-on-top, translucent, click-through status pill rendered at the bottom-center of the primary screen, with a pulsing colored dot plus label. Includes pure, display-free helpers snackbar_content_for (state->content) and bottom_center_xy (geometry), unit-tested without a QApplication.
Build one RecordingSnackbar in _TrayApp and show/hide it from the single _apply_state seam: a red "Recording" pill while capturing, an amber "Processing" pill while the pipeline runs, hidden on idle. Hide it on quit. Always-on for v1; no config/settings surface.
Add the on-screen recording indicator to the README feature list and a snackbar.py API contract block in IMPLEMENTATION.md.

Summary
Implements roadmap feature #10 Recording Snackbar (
docs/FEATURES.md): a small animated on-screen indicator at the bottom-center of the screen.A new
src/snackbar.pyprovidesRecordingSnackbar— a frameless, always-on-top, translucent, click-through overlay (a pill with a pulsing colored dot + label). It shows a red "Recording" pill while capturing audio and an amber "Processing" pill while the pipeline runs, then fades out on idle.What changed
src/snackbar.py(new) —RecordingSnackbar(QWidget)overlay usingWindowStaysOnTopHint | FramelessWindowHint | Tool,WA_TranslucentBackground,WA_TransparentForMouseEvents,WA_ShowWithoutActivating,NoFocus. Pulse viaQPropertyAnimationon a custompulseproperty; show/hide via awindowOpacityfade. Two pure, display-free helpers:snackbar_content_for(state_value)(state→content) andbottom_center_xy(available, size, margin)(geometry).src/main.py— oneRecordingSnackbarbuilt in_TrayApp.__init__; driven from the single_apply_stateseam; hidden on quit.README.mdfeature bullet +docs/IMPLEMENTATION.mdAPI contract block.Design decisions
config.py/settings_dialog.pychanges, so this does not conflict with the open custom-hotkeys PR (feat: custom keyboard/mouse hotkeys via low-level hooks #13). A toggle can be added later.Tests
New:
tests/test_snackbar.py(content map, geometry, offscreen widget smoke),tests/test_snackbar_wiring.py(state→show/hide contract). Full suite: 54 passing (offscreen).Manual smoke (
python -m src.main): app starts clean; the pill shows/updates across Recording→Processing→idle and renders without error.
