"""Local STT backends.
faster-whisper loading (CUDA->CPU fallback, Apple Silicon pinning), the
anti-hallucination transcribe kwargs and segment gate, and the local whisper CLI
(``local_command``) provider. The cached-model singleton and its idle-unload
watcher stay in ``transcription_tools`` (they own the module state).
Split out of ``tools/transcription_tools.py``, which re-imports every name (patch
surface) and is imported lazily here so origin patches still intercept.
