## Owner Device Override

- Hidden owner flow is in the `Pro` screen.
- Owner verification uses `VOICEWAVE_OWNER_PASSPHRASE_HASH`.
- No built-in fallback passphrase is available in runtime builds.
- When enabled, UI shows `Owner Pro (Device Override)` and all Pro gates unlock.

## Free vs Pro

Free:

- Unlimited local dictation.
- Baseline transcript sanitize/finalize behavior.
- Baseline dictionary queue approvals.
- Baseline session timeline + retention controls.

Pro:
