Voice mode: spacebar hold doesn't trigger voice on new session start

Bug
After starting a new Claude Code session, holding spacebar to trigger voice mode sometimes doesn't work. The voice listener appears to not fully initialize on session start.
Repro steps
- Start a new Claude Code session with voice mode enabled
- Hold spacebar to trigger voice input
- Nothing happens — voice doesn't activate
Workaround
Disable voice mode, then re-enable it with /voice. After toggling, spacebar hold works correctly.
Expected behavior
Spacebar hold should trigger voice input immediately on session start without needing to toggle voice off/on.
Environment
- macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
