Frontend to test /chat endpoint. Uses the browser MediaRecorder API to record audio and POST to the middleware.

Run locally:

1. Install dependencies

cd frontend
npm install

2. Start dev server

npm run dev

3. Open http://localhost:3000 in the browser and press/hold the record button. The app will POST the recorded audio to http://localhost:8000/chat and play the returned audio.

Notes:

• This simple client posts a webm audio blob (from MediaRecorder). The backend must accept webm or you can adapt the client to encode WAV.
• If the backend runs on a different origin make sure to enable CORS on the middleware (FastAPI) or run the frontend proxied.
