Watch recordings arrived on the phone as 28-byte header-only m4a files
(record() reported success but no audio was ever captured). Activate the
audio session via watchOS's async activate(options:), drop the .spokenAudio
mode experiment, match the phone recorder's proven AAC settings
(44.1 kHz / 48 kbps), and surface silent failures: an AVAudioRecorderDelegate
catches encode errors mid-take, and a stop-time guard detects a dead
header-only file, deletes it, and shows the failure on the watch instead of
shipping an unplayable note to the phone.

A tester on real hardware has no console, so a failed start looked like
a dead button and there was no way to tell which build the watch had
actually installed. Show the stamped version/build under the record
button, display the last start error in place of the hint text, and
fall back to the default audio session mode if .spokenAudio is rejected
with the .record category.

The watch app's permission-denied state was a computed property reading
AVAudioApplication.shared.recordPermission — external state Observation
cannot track — so after a denied prompt the UI never flipped to the
'Microphone access is off' screen and the record button silently did
nothing. Store the denied flag as a tracked property instead, updated
on every permission request.
Also: log (instead of swallow) recorder start failures, drop phantom
recordings when no file was written (the watch simulator has no audio
input device), sweep orphaned metadata sidecars on reconcile, and add a
DEBUG-only 'autorecord' launch argument for CLI-driven testing.
