 ### Changed

+- `HeartbeatFrame`s are now control frames. This will make it easier to detect
+  pipeline freezes. Previously, heartbeat frames were system frames which meant
+  they were not get queued with other frames, making it difficult to detect
+  pipeline stalls.
+
 - Updated `OpenAIRealtimeBetaLLMService` to accept `language` in the
  `InputAudioTranscription` class for all models.
