Fox 2026-06-05: "1:34:48 PM JS unhandled: can't access lexical
declaration 'whisperWorker' before initialization."
The button-binding restore block ran synchronously at script eval
time, BEFORE the rest of the file's let/const declarations had been
initialized. transcribeEnabled and TRANSCRIBE_KEY got hoisted earlier
in the previous fix, but the restore body itself reaches further
down — into whisperWorker, listenerAudioNodes, audioCtx, micStream,
and a chain of helper functions whose bodies access more `let`s. Any
of those is enough to throw.
Wrap the whole restore in setTimeout(fn, 0). The current synchronous
script finishes (all decls initialized), then the queued task runs.
Now ensureWhisperWorker, startCaptureForUuid, startSelfCapture etc.
all see fully-initialized state.
Also added a try/catch around the block so any remaining edge-case
error gets logged instead of bubbling to window.onerror.
