+- Fixed a deadlock in `TTSService` that could permanently stall pipeline processing when all three conditions occurred together: `pause_frame_processing=True`, an interruption arrived before any TTS audio was played, and an `UninterruptibleFrame` (e.g. `TTSUpdateSettingsFrame`, `FunctionCallResultFrame`) was in the processing queue at that moment. The process task would block on `__process_event.wait()` indefinitely because `BotStoppedSpeakingFrame` never arrives (no audio was played) and the interruption handler did not resume processing. Affects services using `pause_frame_processing=True` such as ElevenLabs, Rime, AsyncAI, Gradium, and ResembleAI.
