     For services that support finalization (TranscriptionFrame.finalized=True),
-    the turn can be triggered immediately once the finalized transcript is
-    received and the user resume speaking timeout has elapsed.
+    receiving the finalized transcript allows the strategy to shorten the
+    timeout by removing the STT wait component, since only the
+    `user_speech_timeout` portion is still needed. If `user_speech_timeout`
+    has already elapsed when the transcript arrives, the original timeout
+    continues running to provide a buffer for VAD to detect any resumed
+    speech before triggering.
