Subject: [PATCH] ci: type in the simulator without capitals, corrections or
 predictions

Set in com.apple.Preferences right after boot, before the app first shows the keyboard, so typed links (C4) and nonsense words (D10) reach the app as typed. The smoke test still compares typed text ignoring case.
