Improve STT quality and add session/chat management

- Switch Android STT from on-device to cloud recognition for better accuracy
- Add lastMessageWasVoiceRef to prevent TTS for text-typed messages
- Stop voice session and clear chat when changing Deployment or Voice API
- Ensures clean state when switching between beneficiaries/models

+# VoiceContext Race Condition Fix - Test Documentation
+
+## Problem Description
+
+The `VoiceContext.tsx` had a race condition with the `AbortController` where:
+1. Multiple calls to `sendTranscript()` could create multiple `AbortController` instances
+2. The older requests would continue using their local `abortController` variable
+3. When checking `abortController.signal.aborted`, it wouldn't detect if the request was superseded by a newer one
+4. Responses from older, superseded requests could still be processed and spoken
+
+## Fix Applied
+
+Changed the abort checks from:
+```typescript
+if (abortController.signal.aborted || sessionStoppedRef.current)
+```
+
+To:
+```typescript
+if (abortControllerRef.current !== abortController || sessionStoppedRef.current)
+```
+
+This ensures that we check if the current request's AbortController is still the active one in the ref, not just if it's been aborted.
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: New Request Supersedes Old Request
+
+**Setup:**
+- Send request A (slow - 200ms delay)
+- Before A completes, send request B (fast - 50ms delay)
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- Request A's AbortController is aborted when B starts
+- Request A's response is discarded even if it arrives
+- Only request B's response is processed and spoken
+- `lastResponse` contains only B's response
+
+**Code Locations:**
+- Line 268: Check before first API call
+- Line 308: Check after first API call completes
+- Line 343: Check before retry
+- Line 357: Check after retry completes
+
+### Scenario 2: Session Stopped During Request
+
+**Setup:**
+- Send a request with 200ms delay
+- Stop session after 50ms
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- Request's AbortController is aborted
+- `sessionStoppedRef.current` is set to true
+- Response is discarded
+- TTS does not speak the response
+- Status returns to 'idle'
+
+**Code Locations:**
+- Line 500: `sessionStoppedRef.current = true` set first
+- Line 503: AbortController aborted
+- Line 268, 308, 343, 357: All checks verify session not stopped
+
+### Scenario 3: Retry Scenario with Superseded Request
+
+**Setup:**
+- Send request A that returns 401 (triggers retry)
+- Before retry completes, send request B
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- Request A initiates token refresh and retry
+- Request B supersedes request A before retry completes
+- Request A's retry response is discarded
+- Only request B's response is processed
+
+**Code Locations:**
+- Line 343: Check before retry request
+- Line 357: Check after retry response
+
+## Manual Testing Instructions
+
+Since automated testing has Expo SDK compatibility issues, manual testing is recommended:
+
+### Test 1: Rapid Voice Commands
+1. Start voice session
+2. Say "How is dad doing?" and immediately say "What's his temperature?"
+3. Verify only the second response is spoken
+4. Check logs for "Request superseded" messages
+
+### Test 2: Stop During API Call
+1. Start voice session
+2. Say "How is dad doing?"
+3. Immediately press stop button
+4. Verify TTS does not speak the API response
+5. Verify session returns to idle state
+
+### Test 3: Network Delay Simulation
+1. Use Network Link Conditioner to add 2-3 second delay
+2. Send multiple voice commands rapidly
+3. Verify only the last command's response is processed
+4. Check logs for proper abort handling
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check for race condition related code
+grep -n "abortControllerRef.current !== abortController" WellNuoLite/contexts/VoiceContext.tsx
+
+# Expected output:
+# 268:        if (abortControllerRef.current !== abortController || sessionStoppedRef.current) {
+# 308:        if (abortControllerRef.current !== abortController || sessionStoppedRef.current) {
+# 343:            if (abortControllerRef.current !== abortController || sessionStoppedRef.current) {
+# 357:            if (abortControllerRef.current !== abortController || sessionStoppedRef.current) {
+```
+
+## Files Modified
+
+- `WellNuoLite/contexts/VoiceContext.tsx`: Fixed race condition (4 locations)
+
+## Related Issues
+
+This fix prevents:
+- Speaking responses from old requests after newer ones
+- Processing responses after session is stopped
+- Retry responses from superseded requests
+- Inconsistent UI state due to out-of-order responses
