fix: whisper repetition loops, meeting transcript punctuation

- transcription: add temperature_inc=0 to whispercpp to disable fallback (prevents loops)
- pipeline: punctuate meeting transcript in one pass (parallel with summarize)
- output: write_meeting_docs accepts pre-built transcript_text
- llm: punctuate prompt preserves speaker labels
