* Add Inworld Realtime LLM service
Adds a WebSocket-based realtime service for Inworld's cascade
STT/LLM/TTS API with semantic VAD, function calling, and streaming
transcription support.
New files:
- src/pipecat/services/inworld/realtime/ (service, events)
- src/pipecat/adapters/services/inworld_realtime_adapter.py
- examples/foundational/19zb-inworld-realtime.py
Also includes:
- websockets dependency for inworld extra in pyproject.toml
- Adapter and settings tests matching OpenAI/Grok realtime patterns
- Fix for double-response when server-side VAD is enabled
* Prefer init-provided system instruction in Inworld Realtime
Adopt _resolve_system_instruction() from BaseLLMAdapter, matching the
pattern applied to OpenAI Realtime, Grok Realtime, Gemini Live, and
Nova Sonic in the pk/realtime-services-init-v-context-system-instructions-cleanup
branch.
* Update changelog entry with PR number
* Fix changelog format to use bullet point
* Polish PR: default model, example cleanup, changelog update
- Change default model from gpt-4.1-nano to gpt-4.1-mini
- Add function calling demo to example
- Remove demo-testing artifact from system instruction
- Mention Router support in changelog
* Address PR review feedback for Inworld Realtime
- Move example to examples/realtime/realtime-inworld.py
- Change initial context role from "user" to "developer"
- Remove explicit sample rates from example; sync them in
_ensure_audio_config so Inworld gets the transport's actual rates
- Add audio race condition guard in _handle_evt_audio_delta (matches
OpenAI realtime pattern)
- Convert remaining "system"/"developer" messages to "user" in adapter
- Add clarifying comment for local-VAD vs server-VAD metrics paths
* Simplify example, add provider tracking, remove local VAD path
- Remove function calling from example, switch model to xai/grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning
- Add pipecat-realtime session key prefix and provider_data metadata
for Inworld traffic attribution
- Remove local VAD code path (Inworld only supports server-side VAD)
- Use typed InputAudioBufferAppendEvent for audio sends
* Default TTS model to inworld-tts-1.5-max
* Remove dead shimmed tools code, set STT/VAD defaults
- Remove non-functional AdapterType.SHIM custom tools code from adapter
- Default STT model to assemblyai/u3-rt-pro
- Default VAD eagerness to low
Integrate with Mistral's Voxtral TTS API (voxtral-mini-tts-2603) using
HTTP streaming with Server-Sent Events. Converts base64-encoded float32
PCM chunks from the API to int16 for the Pipecat pipeline.
After a reconnect, _ready_for_realtime_input was never set back to True
because _create_initial_response (which sets the flag) is only called on
initial connection. This caused all audio/video/text to be silently
dropped after reconnecting, making the bot appear to hang.
Set the flag in _handle_session_ready when we detect a reconnect, either
via session_resumption_handle (server restores state) or via existing
context (rare case where connection drops before first resumption handle).

Set the flag in _handle_session_ready when context already exists
(i.e. reconnect case) since we don't need to go through
_create_initial_response again.
