fix(manual-submit): v0.9.3 - fix timing issue with state capture

CRITICAL FIX: Dictation state was being checked AFTER ChatGPT had
already processed the click and changed the UI state.

Solution:
- Capture dictation state and baseline text at click time (capture phase)
- Pass saved state to async handler instead of re-checking
- This ensures manual submit works even when ChatGPT instantly updates UI

Changes:
- setupManualSubmitListener() captures state before ChatGPT processes click
- handleManualSubmitClick() now accepts wasInDictationMode and savedBaselineText
- Added detailed logging for debugging

+## [0.9.3] - 2026-01-21
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+- **Manual Submit Timing Fix** - Fixed critical timing issue where dictation state was checked after ChatGPT had already processed the click:
+  - Now captures dictation state and baseline text at the moment of click (in capture phase)
+  - Passes saved state to async handler instead of re-checking after setTimeout
+  - This ensures manual submit works correctly even when ChatGPT instantly changes UI state
+
+### 🔧 Technical
+- `setupManualSubmitListener()` now captures state before ChatGPT processes click
+- `handleManualSubmitClick()` now accepts `wasInDictationMode` and `savedBaselineText` parameters
+- Added detailed logging for debugging manual submit flow
+
+### 🧪 Testing
+- All 140 unit tests passing
+- Build successful
