Summary
Move the captions/transcript editor switch from the right side of the navbar
to the left control cluster — companion to #420 (segmented control), and
naturally done together with it.
Rationale
The navbar's controls fall into two families:
- Left (
navbar-start): view/editing controls — sidebar toggle,
strikethrough, remove-gaps.
- Right (
navbar-end): document-lifecycle actions — export media,
NEW/transcribe.
The captions/transcript switch is a view-mode control, but it sits mid-right,
splitting the lifecycle cluster. Moving it left groups controls by function:
"what am I looking at / doing to the text" on the left, "what happens to the
document" on the right.
(Context: the Glider macOS wrapper reached the same grouping conclusion for its
top bar — hyperaudio/glider#156 — and adds a Save button to the right-side
lifecycle cluster. Doing the move upstream gives browser users the same logic
and lets downstream inherit it without layout patches.)
