Desktop App: Announce Focus Mode Changes & Proactive Tips

When a Focus Mode changes on your iPhone or Mac (Work, Sleep, DND, etc.), the Omi desktop app should speak a short contextual message out loud.

Examples:

- Work Focus turns on → "Work mode on. You have 3 meetings today, first one in 40 minutes."

- Sleep Focus turns on → "Winding down. Tomorrow's first event is at 9 AM."

- DND turns off → "You're back. You missed 2 calls and 5 messages."

On top of that, Omi could give proactive tips based on what it knows:

- "You've been in a meeting for 2 hours straight — maybe take a break?"

- "Your next meeting starts in 5 minutes, it's in a different building."

- "You haven't moved in 3 hours."

This would turn the desktop app into an ambient assistant that reacts to your device state, not just passively records. The desktop app already runs in the background — it just needs to listen to Focus Mode changes (available via macOS APIs) and optionally pull calendar data for context.

    Thanks spoken proactive tips already exist, but Omi doesn’t currently detect macOS Focus/DND changes. We opened #20206 to track opt-in Focus triggers, calendar context, and safe DND/Sleep behavior.
