Description
**Describe the bug**
When the audio behavior is set to "Mute" in settings, using double-tap lock to record leaves the system volume at 0 after transcription completes. Speakers stay muted until you manually adjust the volume.
This does not happen with regular press-and-hold recording — only with the double-tap lock flow.
**To Reproduce**
1. Go to Settings → set audio behavior to "Mute"
2. Play some audio so you can hear the speakers
3. Double-tap the hotkey quickly to enter lock mode
4. Say something
5. Tap the hotkey once to stop and transcribe
6. Speakers remain muted after transcription finishes
**Expected behavior**
System volume should be restored to its original level once transcription is complete, the same way it works with press-and-hold.

Research direction
Start by comparing the double-tap lock recording flow with the press-and-hold flow, focusing on audio mute and volume restoration after transcription completes. Done means the original system volume is restored after stopping a locked recording while the audio behavior is set to Mute.
