+### Task 30: Add TUI validation for language-model compatibility on save
+- Added validation check in `editTranscription()` before saving config
+- Uses `provider.ValidateModelLanguage(registryName, selectedModel, selectedLanguage)`
+- If validation fails: shows error with message and options (change model, select auto-detect, choose supported language)
+- Shows confirm dialog "Try again?" - if yes, recursively calls `editTranscription()` to let user fix
+- Config only saved AFTER validation passes (no save on cancel)
+- Leverages existing `ValidateModelLanguage` which returns error with supported languages list
+- All tests passing, typecheck passes
