Replace the round-trip push_interruption_task_frame_and_wait() mechanism
with broadcast_interruption(), which pushes an InterruptionFrame both
upstream and downstream directly from the calling processor.
This eliminates race conditions (transcription arriving before the
InterruptionFrame comes back), swallowed-event timeouts (frame blocked
before reaching the sink), and the complexity of _wait_for_interruption
flag / queue bypass / frame.complete() obligations.
- Add broadcast_interruption() to FrameProcessor
- Deprecate push_interruption_task_frame_and_wait() (delegates to new method)
- Remove event field and complete() from InterruptionFrame/InterruptionTaskFrame
- Remove _wait_for_interruption flag and all special-case logic
- Remove frame.complete() calls in stt_mute_filter and llm_response_universal
- Update all 17 call sites to use broadcast_interruption()
- Update tests
Add per-service latency breakdown metrics alongside existing user-to-bot
latency measurement. When enable_metrics=True, the observer now emits an
on_latency_breakdown event with TTFB, text aggregation, and user turn
duration metrics collected between VADUserStoppedSpeakingFrame and
BotStartedSpeakingFrame.
- Add LatencyBreakdown dataclass with ttfb, text_aggregation,
user_turn_secs fields
- Accumulate MetricsFrame data during user→bot cycles
- Reset accumulators on InterruptionFrame to discard stale metrics
- Measure user_turn_secs from actual user silence (VAD timestamp -
stop_secs) to turn release (UserStoppedSpeakingFrame)
- Filter zero-value TTFB entries from startup metric resets
- Add frame deduplication using bounded deque + set pattern
- Update example 29 with latency breakdown display
Add BotConnectedFrame (SystemFrame) pushed by SFU transports (Daily,
LiveKit, HeyGen, Tavus) when the bot joins the room. Replace the
on_transport_readiness_measured event with on_transport_timing_report
which includes both bot_connected_secs and client_connected_secs.
Azure TTS _handle_canceled was putting None (the normal completion
signal) into the audio queue for all cancellation reasons, so run_tts
treated errors identically to success—silently producing no audio.
Now error cancellations put an Exception marker in the queue, which
run_tts converts to an ErrorFrame.
Azure STT had no canceled event handler at all, so auth failures,
network errors, and rate-limit cancellations were invisible. Added
_on_handle_canceled which pushes an ErrorFrame upstream via push_error.
