Subject: [PATCH] Show subprocess output in real-time & add consistent force
 flag behavior - Show output from process.sh, transcribe.sh, and extract.sh in
 real-time when running watch.py - Add force flag support to transcribe.sh to
 prevent overwriting existing transcripts - Update process.sh to propagate
 force flag to transcribe.sh - Now force flag behavior is consistent: without
 -f skips existing files, with -f overwrites files - Force flag propagates
 through entire chain: watch -> process -> transcribe/extract
