SUGGESTION: Missing changeset for a user-facing diagnostics change

This PR changes the error text users see when native macOS speech capture fails to start, which is user-visible behavior in the VS Code extension. Per the repo's changeset guidance, user-facing fixes should ship with a .changeset/*.md entry (e.g. a patch bump for kilo-code) so the improvement shows up in release notes.

Reply with @kilocode-bot fix it to have Kilo Code address this issue.
