Streaming ASR with VAD Endpointing
====================================
Turns push-to-talk into a conversation.
The caller speaks; audio arrives in small chunks. This module decides β€” with
no button press β€” when an utterance has STARTED and when it has ENDED, emits
live partial transcripts while the caller is still talking, and detects
barge-in so the agent stops talking when interrupted.

Key behaviours:
- PREROLL : a ring buffer holds ~300ms of audio from BEFORE the speech
trigger fires, so the first phoneme is never clipped. This
is the single most common cause of "it dropped my first
word" in naive VAD implementations.
- HANGOVER : brief silences inside speech (natural pauses between words,
the gap before a plosive) do not end the turn. Only
`endpoint_silence_ms` of continuous silence does.
- PARTIALS : every `partial_interval_ms`, the audio so far is decoded
with a SMALL Whisper model for a live on-screen transcript.
The FINAL decode uses large-v3 for accuracy.
- BARGE-IN : while `agent_speaking` is set, sustained caller speech
raises a barge-in event so playback can be cut.
- MAX DURATION : a hard cap force-endpoints a caller who never pauses.
Whisper hallucinates confidently on silence ("Thank you.", "Subtitles by…"),
so utterances shorter than `min_speech_ms` of actual speech are discarded
without ever reaching the model.
