Research direction

Start by locating the duplicated #handleToolMessages implementations in the simple and full transcription interfaces, then compare their existing origin validation and line-id resolution. Use the proposed utilities/toolMessages.js location and hook contract as the guide; done means both interfaces import it, behavior remains unchanged, and origin validation is retained.

Description

enhancement

#handleToolMessages is duplicated in simple and full transcription interfaces. Create a small importable utility (e.g., utilities/toolMessages.js) that accepts hooks for getPage, setActiveLineIndex, and updateLines, and centralizes origin validation and line-id resolution. Update both interfaces to use it. Acceptance: both interfaces import the utility; behavior unchanged; origin validation retained.
