Perplexity allows multiple initial system messages, so don't merge them.
Instead, skip system-system pairs during the consecutive same-role merge
step. Broaden the trailing message fix to convert any trailing system
message to user (not just a lone system message), so contexts with only
system messages don't fail.
Perplexity's API is stricter than OpenAI about conversation history:
- Requires strict alternation between user/tool and assistant messages
- Disallows system messages except as the initial message
- Requires the last message to be user or tool
The new adapter transforms messages before sending to satisfy all three
constraints: merging consecutive initial system messages, converting
non-initial system to user, merging consecutive same-role messages, and
removing trailing assistant messages.
Also adds dual-system-instruction warnings to Cerebras, Fireworks,
Mistral, Perplexity, and SambaNova services (matching the existing
BaseOpenAILLMService pattern), and updates the warning text in
BaseOpenAILLMService to be more descriptive.
Add convenience parameters to configure() so callers don't need to
manually construct DailyRoomProperties/DailyRoomSipParams for common
SIP provider and geo configuration.
Align Simli with HeyGen/Tavus by extending AIService instead of
FrameProcessor and using a ServiceSettings dataclass. InputParams is
preserved but deprecated; its fields are promoted to direct init params.
Lifecycle handling moves to start()/stop()/cancel() methods.
The default model for OpenAILLMService and AzureLLMService was still set
to gpt-4o. Restored it to gpt-4.1. Also, removed hardcoded gpt-4o/gpt-4o-mini
model references from examples so they pick up the new default.
Move the warning helper into AIService as _warn_init_param_moved_to_settings.
It now uses type(self).__name__ to produce messages like
"Use settings=AnthropicLLMService.Settings(model=...)" instead of the raw
settings class name "AnthropicLLMSettings(model=...)". Callers no longer need
to pass the settings class explicitly.
Replace direct references to settings class names (e.g. `FooSettings`) with the nested `Settings` alias form throughout all 87 service files:
- Type annotations: `Settings`
- Runtime code: `self.Settings`
- Docstrings: `ServiceClass.Settings`
- Cross-file inheritance: `ParentService.Settings`
This makes the `Settings` alias the canonical way to reference a service's settings, keeping only the class definition and alias assignment as the remaining hits for each raw settings class name.
