Subject: [PATCH] fix(app): keep dictation running when agent tab loses focus

Previously, dictation was cancelled the moment the user switched away
from the active agent tab, losing any in-progress recording. Drop the
auto-stop-on-blur behavior so users can start dictating, switch tabs,
and come back to finalize.
