App doesn't start right away or "hang" when "started cold"

Bug Description

Each time I start to use Handy from "cold start" (model not loaded) I deal with app behavior like it is "hanging".

I start to dictate. The toast in the button appears. The spinner keeps going forever. I close the toast window a couple of times waiting for the model to load.

It would be great If the app would show the model loading state and not take any input until it is loaded. So I can wait and understand when I can start dictating.

Here is the link to the recording of the issue: https://skrinshoter.ru/vdWes0vO7WE It was a forum discussion about it here: https://github.com/cjpais/Handy/discussions/2090

Logs

This is the full log i have found in the folder. The recorded incident happened on September 16. But it must not be the last records in as I used the app successfully afterwards and just cannot tell which one is needed. handy.log
