Feature : Soniox STT Provider Implemented

[Surya-sourav]

Integrate Soniox as STT Provider in Glass App

This PR adds support for Soniox as a speech-to-text (STT) provider in the Electron-based Glass app. Users can now select Soniox as their STT provider, validate their API key, and use Soniox for real-time transcription, similar to Whisper.

Summary of Changes

Soniox Provider Integration

• Implemented SonioxSTTSession in soniox.js with real-time transcription using the Soniox API.
• Added a close() method to match the expected STT session interface.
• Registered Soniox in the PROVIDERS object in factory.js with its model.

API Key Validation

• Updated modelStateService.js to handle Soniox in validateApiKey, including format validation and proper state updates.
• Ensured Soniox API key is saved and the provider/model is auto-selected after validation.

IPC & State Management

• Removed duplicate model:validate-key IPC handler from windowManager.js to avoid Electron handler conflicts.
• Ensured only modelStateService.js manages API key validation and state.

Hi @Surya-sourav
Thanks for contribution! I've tested this in my local mac: get API key from Soniox console, set it in glass, select stt model. but transcribing doesn't work on my end. Is there anything wrong with my workflow?

[Surya-sourav]

@samtiz Let me check it once again and reconfirm. Thanks for testing !

[Surya-sourav]

@samtiz Actually i got the issue , Soniox expects the audio in a WAV format but Glass app is likely sending Raw PCM , so let me just fix this asap and re pull the PR

[Surya-sourav]

@samtiz You can test it now , I hope it wont be an issue after the fix. Thanks :)
