Run Together AI transcription with Sapat in Daytona

[katlark]

/claim #13

Summary

• add a long-form Daytona guide for running Sapat with a new Together AI speech-to-text provider
• add a companion definition for speech-to-text provider routing
• add a first-time author profile and original SVG workflow diagram
• link the companion Sapat provider implementation: Add Together AI transcription provider nibzard/sapat#29

Companion implementation

• nibzard/sapat#29 adds --api together, uploads converted audio to Together AI audio transcriptions, reads credentials from TOGETHER_API_KEY, supports optional TOGETHER_MODEL and TOGETHER_API_ENDPOINT, and includes mocked coverage for request construction, transcript extraction, missing config, and CLI routing.

Notes

• I closed my earlier IBM Watson duplicate (Run IBM Watson transcription with Sapat in Daytona #224 / Add IBM Watson Speech to Text provider nibzard/sapat#28) after seeing another contributor had registered and submitted that slice first.
• npm run lint:md still fails on pre-existing markdownlint issues in older repository files outside this PR, including articles/20241212_Prebuilds_in_Daytona.md, definitions/20240819_definition_embedding.md, and guides/20240819_history_embedding.md.
• Sources checked: Sapat README/source, Together AI speech-to-text docs, and Together AI audio transcription API reference.
• No API keys, recordings, payment details, private account data, or local sensitive paths are included.
