"""
Streaming Intent Tracker with HMM belief updating and SPRT stopping rules.
Maintains rolling text window, debounce logic, and statistically-principled
decision rules using Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT).
Key features:
- Log-space HMM belief filtering (numerical stability)
- SPRT-based escalation decisions (explicit error rate bounds)
- Near-miss tracking for operational monitoring
- Ablation support for comparing decision strategies

Streaming intent classifier with HMM-style belief updating and SPRT decisions.
