- Replace the `config.py` module with a new `settings.py` to streamline environment variable management, focusing on database, CORS, and TURN settings.
- Update references throughout the backend codebase to use the new `settings` module instead of the deprecated `config`.
- Modify the `.env.example` file to reflect the new configuration approach, indicating that model provider credentials should be maintained separately.
- Enhance the `AssistantConfig` model to clarify the source of runtime connection information, ensuring it is injected from model resources rather than relying on defaults from the environment.
- Introduce new user scripts for audio and video management in the Tampermonkey environment, enhancing WebRTC capabilities.
- Add new fields to AssistantConfig for realtime interface configuration, including types, values, and secrets.
- Introduce StepFunRealtimeService to handle speech-to-speech processing via WebSocket, integrating STT, LLM, and TTS functionalities.
- Refactor pipeline execution to support a new realtime mode, allowing direct text input processing and immediate responses.
- Update model resource testing to include validation for StepFun Realtime connections.
- Enhance service factory to create realtime services based on configuration settings.
- Modify README documentation to reflect new realtime capabilities and usage instructions.
- Introduce a new model structure for managing interface definitions and model resources, enhancing the backend's capability to handle various service integrations.
- Update the Makefile to reflect changes in database seeding and resource management commands.
- Remove the deprecated credentials management routes and replace them with a unified model registry API.
- Modify existing routes and schemas to align with the new model structure, ensuring seamless integration with the frontend.
- Enhance database seeding scripts to populate new model resources and their configurations.
- Update README documentation to reflect the new architecture and usage instructions for model resources and interface definitions.
