What Problem This Solves
Fixes an issue where users starting Assistant from Voice & Audio were directed to provide an unbundled developer backend checkout that is not included with the Windows installer.
Why This Change Was Made
Removes the unsupported Assistant surface and its local backend bridge. Adding Assistant back as a first-class, packaged feature with a supported setup and configuration experience remains future work.
User Impact
Users no longer encounter an Assistant control that cannot work in a normal installed configuration. Existing speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and voice settings remain available.
