QVAC-23283 feat[mod]: add Indic Conformer CTC transcription

[ishanvohra2]

🎯 What problem does this PR solve?

• Indic Conformer CTC GGUFs landed in the registry but SDK constants were named PARAKEET_CTC_*, colliding conceptually with English Parakeet CTC.
• @qvac/asr-ggml 0.3.0 requires parakeetConfig.language for Indic Conformer; the SDK schema did not accept or forward that field.

📝 How does it solve it?

• Bump @qvac/asr-ggml to ^0.3.0 and add optional language on Parakeet modelConfig, forwarded into the unified ASR addon.
• Name Indic Conformer constants PARAKEET_INDIC_CONFORMER_CTC_* from the registry path/filename so they stay distinct from PARAKEET_CTC_0_6B_*.
• Refresh the model catalog from the registry (Indic Conformer plus other newly published assets).

const modelId = await loadModel({
  modelSrc: PARAKEET_INDIC_CONFORMER_CTC_Q8_0,
  modelType: 'parakeet-transcription',
  modelConfig: { language: 'hi' }
})

🧪 How was it tested?

• Unit tests: naming (English CTC vs Indic Conformer), Parakeet schema language, addon config/reload forwarding.
• E2E: desktop-only Indic Conformer happy/silence/corrupted-wav (parakeet-indic-conformer-*). Skipped on iOS, Android, and Electron. Not in smoke.
• After merge-ready review, run CI with test-e2e-full (smoke will not cover these tests).

License compliance — findings detected (warn-only)

Critical: 0 · High: 1 · Medium: 0

Dependency	License	Scope	Severity	Outcome
@qvac/asr-ggml@^0.3.0	(none detected)	runtime	High	blocks

How to resolve a blocking finding:

• Remove or replace the disallowed dependency, or
• If the license is genuinely acceptable, run the compliance SKILL and record the decision in .github/license-allowlist.yml (CODEOWNERS-reviewed), or
• For a one-off, a maintainer can apply the license-override label (High findings only; Critical cannot be overridden).

Warn-only (shadow) mode — this check does not block merges yet.

electron already runs parakeet-ctc/tdt/sortformer. indic q4 is ~391mb. skip because of the 10m budget, or just not wired yet?

[ishanvohra2]

It was just not wired yet — Electron already runs the other Parakeet Q4 models, and Indic Q4 is in the same size class (~391 MB), so there is no 10m-budget skip. Wired parakeet-indic-conformer on the Electron/Snap consumer (same PARAKEET_INDIC_CONFORMER_CTC_Q4_0 + language: 'hi' as desktop) and dropped the SkipExecutor. Mobile still skips for Device Farm memory.
