merge: resolve conflict with origin/main + fix WCAG AA contrast + add API test

- Merge origin/main (resolved conflict in +page.svelte: use res.ok check from main)
- fix(transcription): bump button text from text-brand-navy/60 (3.83:1) to
  text-brand-navy/80 (6.75:1) to pass WCAG AA 4.5:1 for 12px text
