Code Review

This pull request enhances the InputPrompt component's voice mode UI by introducing a dynamic placeholder and updating the microphone emoji. Feedback identifies a 'jumpy' UI transition when recording starts and suggests maintaining a consistent microphone prefix to ensure layout stability. This improvement requires removing the redundant emoji from the 'Listening...' status and updating unit tests to reflect the refined output.

Thank you for the updates to the voice mode UI! The new microphone emoji and consolidated placeholder look good. However, there are a few minor layout issues that cause a 'jumpy' effect when toggling the recording state. I've left some inline comments with suggestions to keep the microphone prefix stable and fix the spacing.
