[BUG] Whisper Models Fail After Choosing >= Medium #870
Description
Bug Description
I noticed that only the small whisper model works (c.f. #261).
When I switch to a larger model like the medium one, something irreversibly breaks:
(The subsequent p values are << 1)

[2026-02-20][22:59:23][handy_app_lib::managers::transcription][INFO] Transcription result: prob prob prob. at N! N!.
It seems to work up to the language detection (that is still correct) and breaks afterwards.
Afterwards the models produce only glibberish, even when I switch back to whisper small.
