more - Echo Mode sync fixed. The "Your turn..." overlay now matches the sentence you just heard, no more drift while audio advances.
- Pause button stops the background music properly. Tap pause once and everything goes quiet.
- Widget gradient days. Monday, Wednesday and Friday show solid-gradient backgrounds all day so the widget pops and doesn't blend into the home screen.
- Voice "your sentences are ready" notification throttled to once per day for small daily edits. No more daily ping if you only added a couple sentences.
