+- Added `WakePhraseUserFrameFilter`, a new aggregator-level filter that gates user interaction behind a wake phrase. Unlike the previous `WakeCheckFilter` (which only filtered transcriptions), this filter runs inside the aggregator before VAD processing, blocking transcriptions, VAD events, and interruptions until the wake phrase is spoken. Configure via the new `user_frame_filters` parameter on `LLMUserAggregatorParams`. Also added `BaseUserFrameFilter` base class for building custom filters.

+- Deprecated `WakeCheckFilter`. Use `WakePhraseUserFrameFilter` from `pipecat.turns.user_filter` instead, which runs inside the aggregator and blocks both transcriptions and VAD events.
