  * This means compositionstart fires even for English text, and compositionend

- * We use InputEvent.inputType to distinguish:

- * - `insertText`: final committed text (confirmed word, punctuation, space)
+ * During composition, all input events are ignored — only compositionend

+ *
+ * iOS/iPadOS voice dictation does NOT fire composition events. Text arrives
+ * as bare input events with isComposing === false. Dictation refinement is
+ * a delete→reinsert cycle (deleteContentBackward + insertReplacementText),
+ * all within a few ms. Flushing on every input event would send irrevocable
