Merge pull request 'v0.32.0: per-recording delete and nav link, cloud-served note, tracker hardening, bounded LLM reads (#37 #51 #52 #53)' (#58) from sprint/v032 into main

Skipping 'by', 'reconciled' and '+' as words everywhere let an alias with one of those
names pass as local. The two-engine shape is now split on its own separators and each alias
judged whole; a reconciler that is not local is pinned too. Hardening suggested by the third
PR #58 review.

+  mechanism), confirm-then-delete on the recording's page. A recording that is **queued or
+  transcribing is refused (409) until it ends**, because the worker would otherwise write to a

+  recording that finishes in the same instant still gets a 409 once, and a retry deletes it.
+  The home list now links to `/uploads` when uploads are mounted.
 
 **Reversibility.** Additive: one table (down-migration drops it), one adapter, one upload
 surface, one image change. Removing the upload route removes the feature; `transcripts`, `videos`
