transcription returning ellipsis dots (#2009)

Fix transcription returning dots for silence/unclear audio

Whisper model returns "..." (or similar dot patterns) when audio is
too short, silent, or unclear. Filter out responses that only contain
dots server-side to prevent them from being inserted into the draft
message or triggering auto-send on mobile.
