+- Added warnings in turn stop strategies when `VADParams.stop_secs` differs from the recommended default (0.2s) or when `stop_secs >= STT p99 latency`, which collapses the STT wait timeout to 0s and may cause delayed turn detection. The warnings guide developers to re-run the [stt-benchmark](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/stt-benchmark) with their VAD settings.
