Release v8.2.0

Added

• STT Prompt for Vocabulary Biasing - Set VOICEMODE_STT_PROMPT to hint Whisper on frequently misrecognized words (e.g., proper nouns, technical terms)
• Claude Code Hooks CLI (VM-618) - voicemode claude hooks add/remove/status to manage soundfont hooks without manual JSON editing
• VoiceMode Connect Device Visibility (VM-633) - WebSocket connection shows your device on the voicemode.dev dashboard with online/offline status
• Latest Audio Symlinks (VM-614) - ~/.voicemode/audio/latest-tts.* and latest-stt.* symlinks for quick access to most recent recordings
• VoiceMode Marketplace - claude install voicemode@voicemode plugin distribution via marketplace
• VoiceMode Connect Skill (VM-595) - Bundled skill and documentation for remote voice via mobile/web clients

Fixed

• Soundfonts silently disabled for all users - Hook receiver returned false when VOICEMODE_SOUNDFONTS_ENABLED was commented out (the default) instead of falling through to enabled
• Whisper CoreML hang on M1 Max (VM-640) - Startup timeout (120s) with auto-fallback to Metal-only when CoreML compilation hangs on incompatible hardware
• webrtcvad broken with setuptools>=81 - Switched to webrtcvad-wheels fork which uses importlib.metadata instead of removed pkg_resources
• Hook receiver not installed (VM-621) - voicemode claude hooks add now installs the bash hook receiver and symlinks it correctly
• Connect auto-enabled by default (VM-633) - Changed CONNECT_AUTO_ENABLED to default false so devices don't appear on dashboard without opt-in
