Error stopping recognition instance:

Error message

Error stopping recognition instance:

What it means

In the transcription provider settings test, testRecognitionInstance.value.stop() threw during stopSTTTest — usually because the recognition already stopped or was aborted first. The nested catch keeps the outer teardown going: the instance reference is nulled and the abort controller fires afterwards. UI state still lands on 'Stopped'.

Solutions

1. Ignore the warning — UI state resets to 'Stopped' regardless
2. Make stopSTTTest idempotent: early-return when isTestingSTT is already false
3. Null the instance reference before calling stop() to prevent double-stop
4. Catch InvalidStateError specifically and stay quiet on it

if (!testRecognitionInstance.value) return // nothing to stop (source guard)

try {
  testRecognitionInstance.value.stop()
}
catch (err) {
  console.warn('Error stopping recognition instance:', err) // InvalidStateError expected on double-stop
}
testRecognitionInstance.value = null // always drop the reference (source pattern)

When it happens

Trigger: Clicking Stop after the test recognition already ended; the test timeout aborted the controller first; double-clicking the stop button.

Common situations: Tester double-clicks Stop; test timed out and the user clicks Stop afterwards; permission prompt dismissed mid-test.
