Summary

• emit a structured whisper_unavailable warning on stderr when transcribe --optional --json skips captions
• preserve the existing exit-0 and stdout JSON contracts for optional pipelines
• point Windows users to the official prebuilt whisper-bin-x64.zip before the CMake fallback

Regression

A Windows feedback report showed transcribe --optional exiting 0 without any stderr diagnostic when whisper-cpp was unavailable, allowing pipelines that suppress successful stdout to ship captionless output silently.
