Follow-up to the previous commit: testing further showed a missing
initial capital also fails validation, which raised the real
question (CLAUDE.md: ask rather than decide alone on an ambiguous
pedagogical point) — is sentence-initial capitalization and final
punctuation something the audio should convey, or a general writing
convention the child applies regardless of what they hear?
Decided: a general convention, like in a real classroom dictée. So
both stay required, and the terminal-punctuation tolerance added in
the previous commit is reverted (DictationAnalyzer back to comparing
the text as-is).
Since the audio still can't vocalize either rule, the child needs to
be told some other way: added a permanent reminder label to the
dictation scene ("N'oublie pas : une majuscule au début de la phrase
et un point à la fin !"), sourced from data/localization/fr.json.

Manual test: the Piper voice (previous commit) is now intelligible,
but typing exactly what's heard ("Les petits chats dorment", no
period) was rejected. The provisional audio never vocalizes
punctuation, so nothing tells the child to add it — penalizing its
absence punishes information they were never given.
DictationAnalyzer now strips terminal punctuation (. ! ? …) from both
sides before comparing, in the exact-match/variant check and before
word alignment, without touching punctuation elsewhere in the
sentence. A real error on the last word is still caught (added test).
A scene-level test reproducing the exact reported interaction
(tests/exercises/test_exercise_host_dictation.gd) failed before the
fix and passes after.
