Descrição

### Bug Description

In `DebateRoom.tsx`, the Speech-to-Text feature relies on the Web Speech API (`SpeechRecognition` / `webkitSpeechRecognition`). Currently:
1. **Unsupported Browsers (e.g., Firefox, Brave):** `recognitionRef.current` remains `null`. Clicking the microphone button does nothing silently without explaining why to the user.
2. **Permission Denied (e.g., Chrome/Edge):** When a user denies or dismisses the browser's microphone permission prompt, `onerror` fires with `"not-allowed"`. The app handles this internally by turning off the recording state, but displays **no message or notification to the user**.

### Steps to Reproduce

**Test 1 (Unsupported Browser):**
1. Open the app in **Firefox**.
2. Go to `/startDebate` -> **Practice with Bot** -> enter `DebateRoom`.
3. Click the microphone button.
4. *Observed:* Nothing happens; no error or message is shown.

**Test 2 (Permission Denied in Chrome):**
1. Open the app in **Google Chrome**.
2. Enter `DebateRoom` and click the microphone button.
3. Click **Block** or close the browser permission prompt.
4. Click the microphone button again.
5. *Observed:* The mic toggles briefly and resets, but no feedback explains that permission was denied.

Direção de pesquisa

Start in DebateRoom.tsx by tracing the microphone button, recognitionRef.current setup, and the onerror handler. Reproduce the unsupported-browser case in Firefox and the permission-denied case in Chrome, then verify that each condition gives the user feedback and that recording still resets correctly.
