Add /voice command to the Additional Commands reference in Chapter 01. The /voice command (added in v1.0.59) lets users dictate prompts using local speech-to-text models instead of typing. Add -r as a shorthand for --resume in Chapter 02's session management section. The -r flag (added in v1.0.60) saves typing when resuming sessions.
