Justin, 9 Nov (#interfaces), recording a voice memo in voice mode on his phone: the top line still flickers after #441.

**Why #441 missed it:**
- #441 stopped the slide-in from replaying by comparing the top bar's whole HTML with the last second's.
- While recording, that bar reads "recording voice memo (0:05)…". The clock changes every second, so the comparison never matched and the bar slid in again each tick. An upload's percent did the same.
- The case #441 fixed and tested was the "heard" bar while an agent's clock ticks elsewhere.

**Fix:**
- The comparison now uses what the bar *is*: `memo:<state>` while a memo is in progress (recording, uploading, transcribing, sending), and the heard message's identity otherwise.
- The bar still slides in when the state changes: recording, then saving, then transcribing, then sent.

**Checked:** I ran the rendering block in node. Recording at 0:01, 0:02, 0:03: the first slides in and the next two are `still`. Uploading at 10% then 40%: the first slides in and the second is `still`. The page's scripts parse. I couldn't record a memo in a headless browser, so I haven't seen it on a phone.
