[Windows] REGRESSION 1.6.6 - this.optimizeAudio is not a function still happening after fix

[charleslefi]

The bug was reportedly fixed but it's still happening on Windows 1.6.6.

Platform: Windows 11
Version: 1.6.6
Provider: Groq BYOK (whisper-large-v3-turbo)

Exact log trace (2026-04-01):

Audio optimization decision:
shouldOptimize: true
shouldSkipOptimizationForDuration: false

Pipeline failed at 1ms:
"this.optimizeAudio is not a function"

Recording duration: 172 seconds
Blob size: 2,774,814 bytes (2.6 MB webm)

Root cause visible in logs:
optimizeAudio() is called when shouldOptimize=true
but the function does not exist in the Windows renderer context.

Retry bug (same session):
Retry ignores configured Groq BYOK provider and forces
local Parakeet model instead:
"Parakeet model parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3 not downloaded"

Please reference the previous closed issue.
This is a regression - the fix did not work on Windows.

Seconded, very annoying. Seems to happen for long inputs, randomly. Also with GROQ key.

Rolling back to 1.6.5 for now.
