Replace assert-based type narrowing with local variables and guards

Use local variable narrowing and if-guards instead of assert statements
for type safety, since asserts are stripped with python -O.

+description: Create changelog files for important commits in a PR
+---
+
+Create changelog files for the important commits in this PR. The PR number is provided as an argument.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Skip changelog for: documentation-only, internal refactoring, test-only, CI changes.
+
+2. First, check what commits are on the current branch compared to main:
+   ```
+   git log main..HEAD --oneline
+   ```
+
+3. For each significant change, create a changelog file in the `changelog/` folder using the format:
+   Allowed types: `added`, `changed`, `deprecated`, `removed`, `fixed`, `security`, `performance`, `other`
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.added.md` - for new features
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.added.2.md`, `{PR_NUMBER}.added.3.md` - for additional entries of the same type
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.changed.md` - for changes to existing functionality
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.fixed.md` - for bug fixes
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.deprecated.md` - for deprecations
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.removed.md` - for removed features
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.security.md` - for security fixes
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.performance.md` - for performance improvements
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.other.md` - for other changes
+
+4. Each changelog file should at least contain a main single line starting with `- ` followed by a clear description of the change.
+
+5. If the change is complicated, changelog files can have indented lines after the main line with additional details or code samples.
+
+6. Use ⚠️ emoji prefix for breaking changes.
+
+## Example
+
+For PR #3519 with a new feature and a bug fix:
+
+`changelog/3519.added.md`:
+```
+- Added `SomeNewFeature` for doing something useful.
+```
+
+`changelog/3519.fixed.md`:
+```
+- Fixed an issue where something was not working correctly.

+description: Document a Python module and its classes using Google style
+---
+
+Document a Python module and its classes using Google-style docstrings following project conventions. The class name is provided as an argument.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. First, find the class in the codebase:
+   ```
+   Search for "class ClassName" in src/pipecat/
+   ```
+
+2. If multiple files contain that class name:
+   - List all matches with their file paths
+   - Ask the user which one they want to document
+   - Wait for confirmation before proceeding
+
+3. Once the file is identified, read the module to understand its structure:
+   - Identify all classes, functions, and important type aliases
+   - Understand the purpose of each component
+
+4. Apply documentation in this order:
+   - Module docstring (at top, after imports)
+   - Class docstrings
+   - `__init__` methods (always document constructor parameters)
+   - Public methods (not starting with `_`)
+   - Dataclass/config classes with field descriptions
+
+5. Skip documentation for:
+   - Private methods (starting with `_`)
+   - Simple dunder methods (`__str__`, `__repr__`, `__post_init__`)
+   - Very simple pass-through properties
+   - **Already documented code** - If a class, method, or function already has a complete docstring that follows the project style, do not modify it. A docstring is complete if it has:
+     - A one-line summary
+     - Args section (if it has parameters)
+     - Returns section (if it returns something meaningful)
+   - Only add or improve documentation where it is missing or incomplete
+
+## Module Docstring Format
+
+```python
+"""[One-line description of module purpose].
+
+[Optional: Longer explanation of functionality, key classes, or use cases.]
+"""
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+"""Neuphonic text-to-speech service implementations.
+
+This module provides WebSocket and HTTP-based integrations with Neuphonic's
+text-to-speech API for real-time audio synthesis.
+"""
+```
+
+## Class Docstring Format
+
+```python
+class ClassName:
+    """One-line summary describing what the class does.
+
+    [Longer description explaining purpose, behavior, and key features.
+    Use action-oriented language.]
+
+    [Optional: Event handlers, usage notes, or important caveats.]
+    """
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+class FrameProcessor(BaseObject):
+    """Base class for all frame processors in the pipeline.
+
+    Frame processors are the building blocks of Pipecat pipelines, they can be
+    linked to form complex processing pipelines. They receive frames, process
+    them, and pass them to the next or previous processor in the chain.
+
+    Event handlers available:
+
+    - on_before_process_frame: Called before a frame is processed
+    - on_after_process_frame: Called after a frame is processed
+
+    Example::
+
+        @processor.event_handler("on_before_process_frame")
+        async def on_before_process_frame(processor, frame):
+            ...
+
+        @processor.event_handler("on_after_process_frame")
+        async def on_after_process_frame(processor, frame):
+            ...
+    """
+```
+
+Note: When listing event handlers, do NOT use backticks. Include an `Example::` section (with double colon for Sphinx) showing the decorator pattern and function signature for each event.
+
+## Constructor (`__init__`) Format
+
+```python
+def __init__(self, *, param1: Type, param2: Type = default, **kwargs):
+    """Initialize the [ClassName].
+
+    Args:
+        param1: Description of param1 and its purpose.
+        param2: Description of param2. Defaults to [default].
+        **kwargs: Additional arguments passed to parent class.
+    """
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+def __init__(
+    self,
+    *,
+    api_key: str,
+    voice_id: Optional[str] = None,
+    sample_rate: Optional[int] = 22050,
+    **kwargs,
+):
+    """Initialize the Neuphonic TTS service.
+
+    Args:
+        api_key: Neuphonic API key for authentication.
+        voice_id: ID of the voice to use for synthesis.
+        sample_rate: Audio sample rate in Hz. Defaults to 22050.
+        **kwargs: Additional arguments passed to parent InterruptibleTTSService.
+    """
+```
+
+## Method Docstring Format
+
+```python
+async def method_name(self, param1: Type) -> ReturnType:
+    """One-line summary of what method does.
+
+    [Longer description if behavior isn't obvious.]
+
+    Args:
+        param1: Description of param1.
+
+    Returns:
+        Description of return value.
+
+    Raises:
+        ExceptionType: When this exception is raised.
+    """
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+async def put(self, item: Tuple[Frame, FrameDirection, FrameCallback]):
+    """Put an item into the priority queue.
+
+    System frames (`SystemFrame`) have higher priority than any other
+    frames. If a non-frame item is provided it will have the highest priority.
+
+    Args:
+        item: The item to enqueue.
+    """
+```
+
+## Dataclass/Config Format
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class ConfigName:
+    """One-line description of configuration.
+
+    [Explanation of when/how to use this config.]
+
+    Parameters:
+        field1: Description of field1.
+        field2: Description of field2. Defaults to [default].
+    """
+
+    field1: Type
+    field2: Type = default_value
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+@dataclass
+class FrameProcessorSetup:
+    """Configuration parameters for frame processor initialization.
+
+    Parameters:
+        clock: The clock instance for timing operations.
+        task_manager: The task manager for handling async operations.
+        observer: Optional observer for monitoring frame processing events.
+    """
+
+    clock: BaseClock
+    task_manager: BaseTaskManager
+    observer: Optional[BaseObserver] = None
+```
+
+## Enum Documentation Format
+
+```python
+class EnumName(Enum):
+    """One-line description of the enum purpose.
+
+    [Longer description of how the enum is used.]
+
+    Parameters:
+        VALUE1: Description of VALUE1.
+        VALUE2: Description of VALUE2.
+    """
+
+    VALUE1 = 1
+    VALUE2 = 2
+```
+
+## Writing Style Guidelines
+
+- **Concise and professional** - No casual language or filler words
+- **Action-oriented** - Start with verbs: "Processes...", "Manages...", "Converts..."
+- **Purpose before implementation** - Explain WHY before HOW
+- **Clear parameter descriptions** - Include type hints, defaults, and purpose
+- **No redundant type info** - Type hints are in the signature, don't repeat in description
+- **Use backticks for code references** - Wrap class names, method names, event names, parameter names, and code snippets in backticks
+
+Good: "Neuphonic API key for authentication."
+Bad: "str: The API key (string) that is used for authenticating with Neuphonic."
+
+Good: "Triggers `on_speech_started` when the `VADAnalyzer` detects speech."
+Bad: "Triggers on_speech_started when the VADAnalyzer detects speech."
+
+## Deprecation Notice Format
+
+When documenting deprecated code:
+
+```python
+"""[Description].
+
+.. deprecated:: X.X.X
+    `ClassName` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
+    Use `NewClassName` instead.
+"""
+```
+

+name: pr-description
+description: Update a GitHub PR description with a summary of changes
+---
+
+Update a GitHub pull request description based on the changes in the PR.
+
+## Arguments
+
+```
+/pr-description <PR_NUMBER> [--fixes <ISSUE_NUMBERS>]
+```
+
+- `PR_NUMBER` (required): The pull request number to update
+- `--fixes` (optional): Comma-separated issue numbers that this PR fixes (e.g., `--fixes 123,456`)
+
+Examples:
+- `/pr-description 3534`
+- `/pr-description 3534 --fixes 123`
+- `/pr-description 3534 --fixes 123,456,789`
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. First, gather information about the PR:
+   - Use GitHub plugin to get PR details (title, current description, base branch)
+   - Use local git to get commits: `git log main..HEAD --oneline`
+   - Use local git to get the diff: `git diff main..HEAD`
+   - Parse any `--fixes` argument for issue numbers
+
+2. Check the existing PR description:
+   - If it already has a complete, accurate description that reflects the changes, do nothing
+   - If it's missing sections, incomplete, or outdated compared to the actual changes, proceed to update
+   - If it only has the template placeholder text, generate a full description
+
+3. Analyze the changes:
+   - Understand the purpose of each commit
+   - Identify any breaking changes (API changes, removed features, behavior changes)
+   - Look for new features, bug fixes, refactoring, or documentation changes
+   - Collect issue numbers from:
+     - The `--fixes` argument (if provided)
+     - Commit messages (patterns like "Fixes #123", "Closes #456", "Resolves #789")
+
+4. Generate or update the PR description with these sections:
+
+## PR Description Format
+
+### Summary (always include)
+
+Brief bullet points describing what changed and why. Focus on the *purpose* and *impact*, not implementation details.
+
+```markdown
+## Summary
+
+- Added X to enable Y
+- Fixed bug where Z would happen
+- Refactored W for better maintainability
+```
+
+### Breaking Changes (include only if applicable)
+
+Document any changes that affect existing users or APIs.
+
+```markdown
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- `ClassName.method()` now requires a `param` argument
+- Removed deprecated `old_function()` - use `new_function()` instead
+```
+
+### Testing (include when non-obvious)
+
+How to verify the changes work. Skip for trivial changes.
+
+```markdown
+## Testing
+
+- Run `uv run pytest tests/test_feature.py` to verify the fix
+- Example usage: `uv run examples/new_feature.py`
+```
+
+### Fixes (include if issues are provided or found in commits)
+
+List issues this PR fixes. GitHub will automatically close these issues when the PR is merged.
+
+```markdown
+## Fixes
+
+- Fixes #123
+- Fixes #456
+```
+
+Note: Use "Fixes #X" format (not "Closes" or "Resolves") for consistency. Each issue should be on its own line with "Fixes" to ensure GitHub auto-closes them.
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- **Be concise** - Reviewers should understand the PR in 30 seconds
+- **Focus on why** - The diff shows *what* changed, explain *why*
+- **Skip empty sections** - Only include sections that have content
+- **Use bullet points** - Easier to scan than paragraphs
+- **Don't duplicate the diff** - Avoid listing every file or line changed
+
+## Example Output
+
+```markdown
+## Summary
+
+- Added `/docstring` skill for documenting Python modules with Google-style docstrings
+- Skill finds classes by name and handles conflicts when multiple matches exist
+- Skips already-documented code to avoid unnecessary changes
+
+## Testing
+
+/docstring ClassName
+
+## Fixes
+
+- Fixes #123
+```
+
+## Checklist
+
+Before updating the PR:
+
+- [ ] Verified existing description needs updating (not already complete)
+- [ ] Summary accurately reflects the changes
+- [ ] Breaking changes are clearly documented (if any)
+- [ ] No unnecessary sections included
+- [ ] Description is concise and scannable

+
+## Project Overview
+
+Pipecat is an open-source Python framework for building real-time voice and multimodal conversational AI agents. It orchestrates audio/video, AI services, transports, and conversation pipelines using a frame-based architecture.
+
+## Common Commands
+
+```bash
+# Setup development environment
+uv sync --group dev --all-extras --no-extra gstreamer --no-extra krisp
+
+# Install pre-commit hooks
+uv run pre-commit install
+
+# Run all tests
+uv run pytest
+
+# Run a single test file
+uv run pytest tests/test_name.py
+
+# Run a specific test
+uv run pytest tests/test_name.py::test_function_name
+
+# Preview changelog
+towncrier build --draft --version Unreleased
+
+# Lint and format check
+uv run ruff check
+uv run ruff format --check
+
+# Update dependencies (after editing pyproject.toml)
+uv lock && uv sync
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Frame-Based Pipeline Processing
+
+All data flows as **Frame** objects through a pipeline of **FrameProcessors**:
+
+```
+Transport Input → Pipeline Source → [Processor1] → [Processor2] → ... → Pipeline Sink → Transport Output
+```
+
+**Key components:**
+
+- **Frames** (`src/pipecat/frames/frames.py`): Data units (audio, text, video) and control signals. Flow DOWNSTREAM (input→output) or UPSTREAM (acknowledgments/errors).
+
+- **FrameProcessor** (`src/pipecat/processors/frame_processor.py`): Base processing unit. Each processor receives frames, processes them, and pushes results downstream.
+
+- **Pipeline** (`src/pipecat/pipeline/pipeline.py`): Chains processors together.
+
+- **ParallelPipeline** (`src/pipecat/pipeline/parallel_pipeline.py`): Runs multiple pipelines in parallel.
+
+- **Transports** (`src/pipecat/transports/`): External I/O layer (Daily WebRTC, LiveKit WebRTC, WebSocket, Local). Abstract interface via `BaseTransport`.
+
+- **Services** (`src/pipecat/services/`): 60+ AI provider integrations (STT, TTS, LLM, etc.). Extend base classes: `AIService`, `LLMService`, `STTService`, `TTSService`, `VisionService`.
+
+- **Serializers** (`src/pipecat/serializers/`): Convert frames to/from wire formats for WebSocket transports. `FrameSerializer` base class defines `serialize()` and `deserialize()`. Telephony serializers (Twilio, Plivo, Vonage, Telnyx, Exotel, Genesys) handle provider-specific protocols and audio encoding (e.g., μ-law).
+
+- **RTVI** (`src/pipecat/processors/frameworks/rtvi.py`): Real-Time Voice Interface protocol bridging clients and the pipeline. `RTVIProcessor` handles incoming client messages (text input, audio, function call results). `RTVIObserver` converts pipeline frames to outgoing messages: user/bot speaking events, transcriptions, LLM/TTS lifecycle, function calls, metrics, and audio levels.
+
+### Important Patterns
+
+- **Context Aggregation**: `LLMContext` accumulates messages for LLM calls; `UserResponse` aggregates user input
+
+- **Turn Management**: Turn management is done through `LLMUserAggregator` and
+`LLMAssistantAggregator`, created with `LLMContextAggregatorPair`
+
+- **User turn strategies**: Detection of when the user starts and stops speaking is done via user turn start/stop strategies. They push `UserStartedSpeakingFrame` and `UserStoppedSpeakingFrame` respectively.
+
+- **Interruptions**: Interruptions are usually triggered by a user turn start strategy (e.g. `VADUserTurnStartStrategy`) but they can be triggered by other processors as well, in which case the user turn start strategies don't need to. An `InterruptionFrame` carries an optional `asyncio.Event` that is set when the frame reaches the pipeline sink. If a processor stops an `InterruptionFrame` from propagating downstream (i.e., doesn't push it), it **must** call `frame.complete()` to avoid stalling `push_interruption_task_frame_and_wait()` callers.
+
+- **Uninterruptible Frames**: These are frames that will not be removed from internal queues even if there's an interruption. For example, `EndFrame` and `StopFrame`.
+
+- **Events**: Most classes in Pipecat have `BaseObject` as the very base class. `BaseObject` has support for events. Events can run in the background in an async task (default) or synchronously (`sync=True`) if we want immediate action. Synchronous event handlers need to exectue fast.
+
+### Key Directories
+
+| Directory                 | Purpose                                            |
+|---------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
+| `src/pipecat/frames/`     | Frame definitions (100+ types)                     |
+| `src/pipecat/processors/` | FrameProcessor base + aggregators, filters, audio  |
+| `src/pipecat/pipeline/`   | Pipeline orchestration                             |
+| `src/pipecat/services/`   | AI service integrations (60+ providers)            |
+| `src/pipecat/transports/` | Transport layer (Daily, LiveKit, WebSocket, Local) |
+| `src/pipecat/serializers/`| Frame serialization for WebSocket protocols        |
+| `src/pipecat/audio/`      | VAD, filters, mixers, turn detection, DTMF         |
+| `src/pipecat/turns/`      | User turn management                               |
+
+## Code Style
+
+- **Docstrings**: Google-style. Classes describe purpose; `__init__` has `Args:` section; dataclasses use `Parameters:` section.
+- **Linting**: Ruff (line length 100). Pre-commit hooks enforce formatting.
+- **Type hints**: Required for complex async code.
+
+### Docstring Example
+
+```python
+class MyService(LLMService):
+    """Description of what the service does.
+
+    More detailed description.
+
+    Event handlers available:
+
+    - on_connected: Called when we are connected
+
+    Example::
+
+        @service.event_handler("on_connected")
+        async def on_connected(service, frame):
+            ...
+    """
+
+    def __init__(self, param1: str, **kwargs):
+        """Initialize the service.
+
+        Args:
+            param1: Description of param1.
+            **kwargs: Additional arguments passed to parent.
+        """
+        super().__init__(**kwargs)
+```
+
+## Service Implementation
+
+When adding a new service:
+
+1. Extend the appropriate base class (`STTService`, `TTSService`, `LLMService`, etc.)
+2. Implement required abstract methods
+3. Handle necessary frames
+4. By default, all frames should be pushed in the direction they came
+5. Push `ErrorFrame` on failures
+6. Add metrics tracking via `MetricsData` if relevant
+7. Follow the pattern of existing services in `src/pipecat/services/`
+

+# Community Integrations Guide
+
+Pipecat welcomes community-maintained integrations! As our ecosystem grows, we've established a process for any developer to create and maintain their own service integrations while ensuring discoverability for the Pipecat community.
+
+## Overview
+
+**What we support:** Community-maintained integrations that live in separate repositories and are maintained by their authors.
+
+**What we don't do:** The Pipecat team does not code review, test, or maintain community integrations. We provide guidance and list approved integrations for discoverability.
+
+**Why this approach:** This allows the community to move quickly while keeping the Pipecat core team focused on maintaining the framework itself.
+
+## Submitting your Integration
+
+To be listed as an official community integration, follow these steps:
+
+### Step 1: Build Your Integration
+
+Create your integration following the patterns and examples shown in the "Integration Patterns and Examples" section below.
+
+### Step 2: Set Up Your Repository
+
+Your repository must contain these components:
+
+- **Source code** - Complete implementation following Pipecat patterns
+- **Foundational example** - Single file example showing basic usage (see [Pipecat examples](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/tree/main/examples/foundational))
+- **README.md** - Must include:
+
+  - Introduction and explanation of your integration
+  - Installation instructions
+  - Usage instructions with Pipecat Pipeline
+  - How to run your example
+  - Pipecat version compatibility (e.g., "Tested with Pipecat v0.0.86")
+  - Company attribution: If you work for the company providing the service, please mention this in your README. This helps build confidence that the integration will be actively maintained.
+
+- **LICENSE** - Permissive license (BSD-2 like Pipecat, or equivalent open source terms)
+- **Code documentation** - Source code with docstrings (we recommend following [Pipecat's docstring conventions](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#docstring-conventions))
+- **Changelog** - Maintain a changelog for version updates
+
+### Step 3: Join Discord
+
+Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/pipecat
+
+### Step 4: Submit for Listing
+
+Submit a pull request to add your integration to our [Community Integrations documentation page](https://docs.pipecat.ai/server/services/community-integrations).
+
+**To submit:**
+
+1. Fork the [Pipecat docs repository](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/docs)
+2. Edit the file `server/services/community-integrations.mdx`
+3. Add your integration to the appropriate service category table with:
+   - Service name
+   - Link to your repository
+   - Maintainer GitHub username(s)
+4. Include a link to your demo video (approx 30-60 seconds) in your PR description showing:
+   - Core functionality of your integration
+   - Handling of an interruption (if applicable to service type)
+5. Submit your pull request
+
+Once your PR is submitted, post in the `#community-integrations` Discord channel to let us know.
+
+## Integration Patterns and Examples
+
+### STT (Speech-to-Text) Services
+
+#### Websocket-based Services
+
+**Base class:** `STTService`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [DeepgramSTTService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/deepgram/stt.py)
+- [SpeechmaticsSTTService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/speechmatics/stt.py)
+
+#### File-based Services
+
+**Base class:** `SegmentedSTTService`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [NvidiaSTTService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/nvidia/stt.py)
+- [FalSTTService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/fal/stt.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- STT services should push `InterimTranscriptionFrames` and `TranscriptionFrames`
+- If confidence values are available, filter for values >50% confidence
+
+### LLM (Large Language Model) Services
+
+#### OpenAI-Compatible Services
+
+**Base class:** `OpenAILLMService`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [AzureLLMService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/azure/llm.py)
+- [GrokLLMService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/grok/llm.py) - Shows overriding the base class where needed
+
+#### Non-OpenAI Compatible Services
+
+**Requires:** Full implementation
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [AnthropicLLMService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/anthropic/llm.py)
+- [GoogleLLMService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/google/llm.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- **Frame sequence:** Output must follow this frame sequence pattern:
+
+  - `LLMFullResponseStartFrame` - Signals the start of an LLM response
+  - `LLMTextFrame` - Contains LLM content, typically streamed as tokens
+  - `LLMFullResponseEndFrame` - Signals the end of an LLM response
+
+- **Context aggregation:** Implement context aggregation to collect user and assistant content:
+  - Aggregators come in pairs with a `user()` instance and `assistant()` instance
+  - Context must adhere to the `LLMContext` universal format
+  - Aggregators should handle adding messages, function calls, and images to the context
+
+### TTS (Text-to-Speech) Services
+
+#### AudioContextWordTTSService
+
+**Use for:** Websocket-based services supporting word/timestamp alignment
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [CartesiaTTSService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/cartesia/tts.py)
+
+#### InterruptibleTTSService
+
+**Use for:** Websocket-based services without word/timestamp alignment, requiring disconnection on interruption
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [SarvamTTSService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/sarvam/tts.py)
+
+#### WordTTSService
+
+**Use for:** HTTP-based services supporting word/timestamp alignment
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [ElevenLabsHttpTTSService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/elevenlabs/tts.py)
+
+#### TTSService
+
+**Use for:** HTTP-based services without word/timestamp alignment
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [GoogleHttpTTSService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/google/tts.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- For websocket services, use asyncio WebSocket implementation (required for v13+ support)
+- Handle idle service timeouts with keepalives
+- TTSServices push both audio (`TTSRawAudioFrame`) and text (`TTSTextFrame`) frames
+
+### Telephony Serializers
+
+Pipecat supports telephony provider integration using websocket connections to exchange MediaStreams. These services use a FrameSerializer to serialize and deserialize inputs from the FastAPIWebsocketTransport.
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [Twilio](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/serializers/twilio.py)
+- [Telnyx](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/serializers/telnyx.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- Include hang-up functionality using the provider's native API, ideally using `aiohttp`
+- Support DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) events if the provider supports them:
+  - Deserialize DTMF events from the provider's protocol to `InputDTMFFrame`
+  - Use `KeypadEntry` enum for valid keypad entries (0-9, \*, #, A-D)
+  - Handle invalid DTMF digits gracefully by returning `None`
+
+### Image Generation Services
+
+**Base class:** `ImageGenService`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [FalImageGenService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/fal/image.py)
+- [GoogleImageGenService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/google/image.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- Must implement `run_image_gen` method returning an `AsyncGenerator`
+
+### Vision Services
+
+Vision services process images and provide analysis such as descriptions, object detection, or visual question answering.
+
+**Base class:** `VisionService`
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [MoondreamVisionService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/moondream/vision.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- Must implement `run_vision` method that takes an `LLMContext` and returns an `AsyncGenerator[Frame, None]`
+- The method processes the latest image in the context and yields frames with analysis results
+- Typically yields `TextFrame` objects containing descriptions or answers
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- **STT:** `VendorSTTService`
+- **LLM:** `VendorLLMService`
+- **TTS:**
+  - Websocket: `VendorTTSService`
+  - HTTP: `VendorHttpTTSService`
+- **Image:** `VendorImageGenService`
+- **Vision:** `VendorVisionService`
+- **Telephony:** `VendorFrameSerializer`
+
+### Metrics Support
+
+Enable metrics in your service:
+
+```python
+def can_generate_metrics(self) -> bool:
+    """Check if this service can generate processing metrics.
+
+    Returns:
+        True, as this service supports metrics.
+    """
+    return True
+```
+
+### Dynamic Settings Updates
+
+STT, LLM, and TTS services support `ServiceUpdateSettingsFrame` for dynamic configuration changes. The base STTService has an `_update_settings()` method that handles settings, and the private `_settings` `Dict` is used to store settings and provide access to the subclass.
+
+```python
+async def set_language(self, language: Language):
+    """Set the recognition language and reconnect.
+
+    Args:
+        language: The language to use for speech recognition.
+    """
+    logger.info(f"Switching STT language to: [{language}]")
+    self._settings["language"] = language
+    await self._disconnect()
+    await self._connect()
+```
+
+Note that, in this example, Deepgram requires the websocket connection be disconnected and reconnected to reinitialize the service with the new value. Consider if your service requires reconnection.
+
+### Sample Rate Handling
+
+Sample rates are set via PipelineParams and passed to each frame processor at initialization. The pattern is to _not_ set the sample rate value in the constructor of a given service. Instead, use the `start()` method to initialize sample rates from the frame:
+
+```python
+async def start(self, frame: StartFrame):
+    """Start the service."""
+    await super().start(frame)
+    self._settings["output_format"]["sample_rate"] = self.sample_rate
+    await self._connect()
+```
+
+Note that `self.sample_rate` is a `@property` set in the TTSService base class, which provides access to the private sample rate value obtained from the StartFrame.
+
+### Tracing Decorators
+
+Use Pipecat's tracing decorators:
+
+- **STT:** `@traced_stt` - decorate a function that handles `transcript`, `is_final`, `language` as args
+- **LLM:** `@traced_llm` - decorate the `_process_context()` method
+- **TTS:** `@traced_tts` - decorate the `run_tts()` method
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Packaging and Distribution
+
+- Use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for packaging (encouraged)
+- Consider releasing to PyPI for easier installation
+- Follow semantic versioning principles
+- Maintain a changelog
+
+### HTTP Communication
+
+For REST-based communication, use aiohttp. Pipecat includes this as a required dependency, so using it prevents adding an additional dependency to your integration.
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Wrap API calls in appropriate try/catch blocks
+- Handle rate limits and network failures gracefully
+- Provide meaningful error messages
+- When errors occur, raise exceptions AND push `ErrorFrame`s to notify the pipeline:
+
+```python
+from pipecat.frames.frames import ErrorFrame
+
+try:
+    # Your API call
+    result = await self._make_api_call()
+except Exception as e:
+    # Push error frame to pipeline
+    await self.push_error(ErrorFrame(error=f"{self} error: {e}"))
+    # Raise or handle as appropriate
+    raise
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+- Your foundational example serves as a valuable integration-level test
+- Unit tests are nice to have. As the Pipecat teams provides better guidance, we will encourage unit testing more
+

+   > Important: Describe the changes you've made clearly!
+
+Our maintainers will review your PR, and once everything is good, your contributions will be merged!
+
+## Changelog Entries
+
+Every pull request that makes a user-facing change should include a changelog entry. We use a changelog fragment system to avoid merge conflicts.
+
+### Creating a Changelog Fragment
+
+1. Create a new file in the `changelog/` directory with this naming pattern:
+
+   ```
+   <PR_number>.<type>.md
+   ```
+
+2. Choose the appropriate type:
+
+   - `added.md` - New features
+   - `changed.md` - Changes in existing functionality
+   - `deprecated.md` - Soon-to-be removed features
+   - `removed.md` - Removed features
+   - `fixed.md` - Bug fixes
+   - `security.md` - Security fixes
+   - `other.md` - Other changes (documentation, dependencies, etc.)
+
+3. Write your changelog entry as a Markdown bullet point. Include the `-` at the start:
+
+**Example files:**
+
+`changelog/1234.added.md`:
+
+```markdown
+- Added support for Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet with improved streaming performance.
+```
+
+`changelog/5678.fixed.md`:
+
+```markdown
+- Fixed an issue where audio frames were dropped during high-load scenarios.
+```
+
+**For entries with nested bullets:**
+
+`changelog/1234.changed.md`:
+
+```markdown
+- Updated service configuration:
+
+  - Changed default timeout to 30 seconds
+  - Added retry logic for failed connections
+```
+
+### Multiple Changes in One PR
+
+**Different types of changes:** Create separate fragment files for each type:
+
+```
+changelog/1234.added.md
+changelog/1234.fixed.md
+```
+
+**Multiple changes of the same type:** Create numbered fragment files:
+
+```
+changelog/1234.changed.md
+changelog/1234.changed.2.md
+```
+
+**Related changes:** Use nested bullets in a single fragment:
+
+```markdown
+- Updated service configuration:
+
+  - Changed default timeout to 30 seconds
+  - Added retry logic for failed connections
+```
+
+**Rule of thumb:** One logical change per fragment file. If changes are unrelated, use separate files.
+
+### Preview Your Changes
+
+To see what your changelog entry will look like:
+
+```bash
+towncrier build --draft --version Unreleased
+```
+
+This won't modify any files, just show you a preview.
+
+### When to Skip Changelog Entries
+
+You can skip adding a changelog entry for:
+
+- Documentation-only changes
+- Internal refactoring with no user-facing impact
+- Test-only changes
+- CI/build configuration changes
+
+If you're unsure whether your change needs a changelog entry, ask in your PR!
+
+## Dependency Management
+
+This project uses [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management. The `uv.lock` file is committed to ensure reproducible builds.
+
+### Adding or Updating Dependencies
+
+1. Edit `pyproject.toml` to add/update dependencies
+2. Run `uv lock` to update the lockfile with new dependency resolution
+3. Run `uv sync` to install the updated dependencies locally
+4. Always commit both files together:
+   ```bash
+   git add pyproject.toml uv.lock
+   git commit -m "feat: add new dependency for feature X"
+   ```
+
+**Important:** Never manually edit `uv.lock`. It's auto-generated by `uv lock`.
+
+## Code Style and Documentation
+
+### Python Code Style
+
+We use Ruff for code linting and formatting. Please ensure your code passes all linting checks before submitting a PR.
+
+### Docstring Conventions
+
+We follow Google-style docstrings with these specific conventions:
+
+**Regular Classes:**
+
+- Class docstring describes the class purpose and key functionality
+- `__init__` method has its own docstring with complete `Args:` section documenting all parameters
+- All public methods must have docstrings with `Args:` and `Returns:` sections as appropriate
+
+**Dataclasses:**
+
+- Class docstring describes the purpose and documents all fields in a `Parameters:` section
+- No `__init__` docstring (auto-generated)
+
+**Properties:**
+
+- Must have docstrings with `Returns:` section
+
+**Abstract Methods:**
+
+- Must have docstrings explaining what subclasses should implement
+
+**`__init__.py` Files:**
+
+- **Skip docstrings** for pure import/re-export modules
+- **Add brief docstrings** for top-level packages or those with initialization logic
+
+**Enums:**
+
+- Class docstring describes the enumeration purpose
+- Use `Parameters:` section to document each enum value and its meaning
+- No `__init__` docstring (Enums don't have custom constructors)
+
+**Code Examples in Docstrings:**
+
+- Use `Examples:` as a section header for multiple examples
+- Use descriptive text followed by double colons (`::`) for each example
+- **Always include a blank line after the `::"`**
+- Indent all code consistently within each block
+- Separate multiple examples with blank lines for readability
+
+**Lists and Bullets in Docstrings:**
+
+- Use dashes (`-`) for bullet points, not asterisks (`*`)
+- **Add a blank line before bullet lists** when they follow a colon
+- Use section headers like "Supported features:" or "Behavior:" before lists
+- For complex nested information, consider using paragraph format instead
+
+**Deprecations:**
+
+- Use `warnings.warn()` in code for runtime deprecation warnings
+- Add `.. deprecated::` directive in docstrings for documentation visibility
+- Include version information and describe current status
+- Describe parameters in present tense, use directive to indicate deprecation status
+
+#### Examples:
+
+```python
+# Regular class
+class MyService(BaseService):
+    """Description of what the service does.
+
+    Provides detailed explanation of the service's functionality,
+    key features, and usage patterns.

+
+## ⚡ Getting started
+
+You can get started with Pipecat running on your local machine, then move your agent processes to the cloud when you're ready.
+
+1. Install uv
+
+   ```bash
+   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+   ```
+
+   > **Need help?** Refer to the [uv install documentation](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
+
+2. Install the module
+
+   ```bash
+   # For new projects
+   uv init my-pipecat-app
+   cd my-pipecat-app
+   uv add pipecat-ai
+
+   # Or for existing projects
+   uv add pipecat-ai
+   ```
+
+3. Set up your environment
+
+   ```bash
+   cp env.example .env
+   ```
+
+4. To keep things lightweight, only the core framework is included by default. If you need support for third-party AI services, you can add the necessary dependencies with:
+
+   ```bash
+   uv add "pipecat-ai[option,...]"
+   ```
+
+> **Using pip?** You can still use `pip install pipecat-ai` and `pip install "pipecat-ai[option,...]"` to get set up.

-## Overview
-The Daily AI SDK allows you to build applications that can participate in WebRTC sessions and interact with AI Services. Some examples of what you can build with this:
-* conversational bots that interact 1:1 with a user, using voice recognition and text-to-speech
-* assistant bots that aggregate transcriptions from multiple participants in a meeting and provide realtime summaries or other AI-generated output.
-* image-recognition bots
-* etc
-## Concepts
-### Transport Service
-The SDK provides one “transport service”, which is a wrapper around Daily’s `daily-python` client (tk add link). You can use this service to listen for events related to a WebRTC session, such as “a participant joined the meeting”.
-The transport service also exposes a send queue, and a receive queue. You can use the send queue to send audio and video to the WebRTC session, and you can listen to the receive queue to see audio, video and transcription data from the WebRTC session.
-### AI Services
-The AI Service classes provide wrappers around various AI providers, and allow you to query LLMs, convert text to speech and make images from text. The audio and images can then be placed on the transport service’s send queue, where they’ll be sent to the WebRTC session.
-### Queue Frames
-Communication between the transport service and AI services, and between various AI services, takes place in Queue Frames. These frames contain an indication of the type of data as well as the data itself.
-## Using Transports, AI Services and Frames
-AI Services all define a `.run` method. This method consumes and generates `QueueFrame` frames. The kind of frames that can be consumed and generated depend on the kind of service. For instance, an LLM AI Service consumes `LLM_MESSAGE` frames (which define a history of interaction with an LLM) and emit `TEXT` frames (the response from the LLM).
+Run a specific test suite:
 
-The `.run` method is an `AsyncIterable`, and it takes an `iterable`, `AsyncIterable` or `asyncio.Queue` that produces QueueFrames as a parameter. This makes it easy to chain AI Services, and consume input from the Transport’s `receive_queue` .
-
-AI Services also have a `.run_to_queue` method. This method is not an AsyncIterable, but instead sends processed QueueFrames to a queue. This makes it easy to send the output of an AI Service to the Transport’s `send_queue`.
-
-AI Services also define convenience functions that let you bypass creating QueueFrames for some simple cases (eg. using the TTS service to convert a string to audio output and send that audio to the transport’s `send_queue`). See below for examples.
-## Examples
-### Say Something
-The base TTS AI service exposes a `.say` method. After creating a transport and TTS service, you can use this method like so:
-```
-transport = DailyTransportService(...)
-tts = AzureTTSService()
-await tts.say("hello world", transport.send_queue)
-```
-This will call the TTS service to render the text to audio frames, then put the audio frames on the transport’s send queue. The transport will then send those frames along to the WebRTC session.
-
-### Speak an LLM response
-Given a system prompt contained in a `messages` array, you can emit the LLM’s response as audio with a chain like this:
-```
-transport = DailyTransportService(...) # setup parameters omitted
-tts = AzureTTSService()
-llm = AzureLLMService()
-messages = [...] # system prompt omitted for brevity
-
-await tts.run_to_queue(
-  transport.send_queue,
-  llm.run([QueueFrame.LLM_MESSAGES, messages])
-)
-```
-In this code, the LLM service object sends the messages to Azure’s OpenAI implementation, which streams chunks back asynchronously. Those chunks are aggregated by the TTS Service to ensure the best audio response (TTS works best when it gets complete sentence, so it can inflect correctly), then sent to Azure’s TTS service, converted to audio frames, and sent to the WebRTC session via the Daily transport.
-
-### Pre-cache an LLM response
-Sometimes LLMs can be slower than we’d like for natural-feeling communication. Here’s an example where we take advantage of the time it takes to speak some pre-defined text to get a head start on the LLM response:
-
-(TK link to 04- sample)
-
-In this sample, we set up a buffer queue to receive the audio frames from the LLM response before while we are joining the call and start an asynchronous task to start filling this buffer:
-```
-    buffer_queue = asyncio.Queue()
-    llm_response_task = asyncio.create_task(
-        elevenlabs_tts.run_to_queue(
-            buffer_queue,
-            llm.run([QueueFrame(FrameType.LLM_MESSAGE, messages)]),
-            True,
-        )
-    )
+```bash
+uv run pytest tests/test_name.py
 ```
 
-Then, when we’ve joined the call, we speak the static text:
-```
-        await azure_tts.say("My friend...", transport.send_queue)
-```
+## 🤝 Contributing
 
-As that text is being spoken, the asynchronous LLM task continues in the background. When the text is done, we pull the frames off the buffer queue and put them in the transport’s `send_queue`:
-```
-        async def buffer_to_send_queue():
-            while True:
-                frame = await buffer_queue.get()
-                await transport.send_queue.put(frame)
-                buffer_queue.task_done()
-                if frame.frame_type == FrameType.END_STREAM:
-                    break

+Before submitting a pull request, please check existing issues and PRs to avoid duplicates.
 
-One thing to note here is the last parameter to `run_to_queue` in the first code clause above: this causes the `run_to_queue` method to send an `END_STREAM` frame when it’s done rendering. This lets us know when to stop our `buffer_to_send_queue` task above.
+We aim to review all contributions promptly and provide constructive feedback to help get your changes merged.

+# Pipecat Documentation
+
+This directory contains the source files for auto-generating Pipecat's server API reference documentation.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Install documentation dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+2. Make the build scripts executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x build-docs.sh rtd-test.py
+```
+
+## Building Documentation
+
+From this directory, you can build the documentation in several ways:
+
+### Local Build
+
+```bash
+# Using the build script (automatically opens docs when done)
+./build-docs.sh
+
+# Or directly with sphinx-build
+sphinx-build -b html . _build/html -W --keep-going
+```
+
+### ReadTheDocs Test Build
+
+To test the documentation build process exactly as it would run on ReadTheDocs:
+
+```bash
+./rtd-test.py
+```
+
+This script:
+
+- Creates a fresh virtual environment
+- Installs all dependencies as specified in requirements files
+- Handles conflicting dependencies (like grpcio versions for Riva and PlayHT)
+- Builds the documentation in an isolated environment
+- Provides detailed logging of the build process
+
+Use this script to verify your documentation will build correctly on ReadTheDocs before pushing changes.
+
+## Viewing Documentation
+
+The built documentation will be available at `_build/html/index.html`. To open:
+
+```bash
+# On MacOS
+open _build/html/index.html
+
+# On Linux
+xdg-open _build/html/index.html
+
+# On Windows
+start _build/html/index.html
+```
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+.
+├── api/            # Auto-generated API documentation
+├── _build/         # Built documentation
+├── _static/        # Static files (images, css, etc.)
+├── conf.py         # Sphinx configuration
+├── index.rst       # Main documentation entry point
+├── requirements-base.txt    # Base documentation dependencies
+├── requirements-riva.txt    # Riva-specific dependencies
+├── requirements-playht.txt  # PlayHT-specific dependencies
+├── build-docs.sh   # Local build script
+└── rtd-test.py     # ReadTheDocs test build script
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Documentation is auto-generated from Python docstrings
+- Service modules are automatically detected and included
+- The build process matches our ReadTheDocs configuration
+- Warnings are treated as errors (-W flag) to maintain consistency
+- The --keep-going flag ensures all errors are reported
+- Dependencies are split into multiple requirements files to handle version conflicts
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter missing service modules:
+
+1. Verify the service is installed with its extras: `pip install pipecat-ai[service-name]`
+2. Check the build logs for import errors
+3. Ensure the service module is properly initialized in the package
+4. Run `./rtd-test.py` to test in an isolated environment matching ReadTheDocs
+
+For dependency conflicts:
+
+1. Check the requirements files for version specifications
+2. Use `rtd-test.py` to verify dependency resolution
+3. Consider adding service-specific requirements files if needed

+
+    This example demonstrates using Speechmatics Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech services
+    with speaker diarization and intelligent speaker management. Key features:
+
+    1. Speaker Diarization (STT)
+       - Automatically identifies and distinguishes between different speakers
+       - First speaker is identified as 'S1', others get subsequent IDs
+       - Uses `enable_diarization` parameter to manage speaker detection
+
+    2. Smart Speaker Control (STT)
+       - `focus_speakers` parameter lets you target specific speakers (e.g. ["S1"])
+       - Other speakers will be wrapped in PASSIVE tags
+       - Only processes speech from focused speakers
+       - Words from all speakers are wrapped with XML tags for clear speaker identification
+       - Other speakers' speech only sent when focused speaker is active
+
+    3. Voice Activity Detection (STT)
+       - Built-in VAD using `enable_vad` parameter
+       - Remove `vad_analyzer` from `transport` config to use module's VAD
+       - Emits speaker started/stopped events
+
+    4. Text-to-Speech (TTS)
+       - Low latency streaming audio synthesis
+       - Multiple voice options available including `sarah`, `theo`, `megan` and `jack`
+
+    5. Configuration Options
+       - `operating_point` parameter defaults to `ENHANCED` for optimal accuracy
+       - Configurable `end_of_utterance_silence_trigger` (default 0.5s)
+       - Customizable speaker formatting
+       - Additional diarization settings available
+
