+- Fixed a race condition in `SpeechTimeoutUserTurnStopStrategy` where a finalized
+  transcript arriving after `user_speech_timeout` elapsed from VAD stop would
+  immediately trigger a turn stop, even if the user was still speaking. STT
+  processing latency was consuming the `user_speech_timeout` window, leaving no
+  time for the user to resume speaking.
