Add VADUserTurnStopStrategy for VAD-only realtime pipelines

Provides a dedicated stop strategy that triggers on VADUserStoppedSpeakingFrame
without requiring a turn analyzer or transcriptions. Complements the existing
VADTurnAnalyzerUserTurnStopStrategy and matches the one-per-modality convention
already used in user_start/.

 #### 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
+- **`_process_context(self, context: LLMContext)`** — The main method that processes an LLM context and generates a response. Each LLM service overrides `process_frame` to extract context from `LLMContextFrame` and calls `_process_context`.
 
-- **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
+- **`adapter_class`** — Class attribute pointing to a `BaseLLMAdapter` subclass. Defaults to `OpenAILLMAdapter`. Non-OpenAI services must implement their own adapter (see `src/pipecat/adapters/base_llm_adapter.py`) with methods:
+  - `get_llm_invocation_params(context)` — Extract provider-specific params from universal context
+  - `to_provider_tools_format(tools_schema)` — Convert standard tools to provider format
+  - `get_messages_for_logging(context)` — Format messages for logging
+  - Reference adapters: `src/pipecat/adapters/services/` (anthropic, gemini, bedrock, etc.)
+
+- **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
+
+- **Thought frames (reasoning models):** If the model supports extended thinking / chain-of-thought, emit thought frames alongside the response:
+  - `LLMThoughtStartFrame` — Signals the start of a thought
+  - `LLMThoughtTextFrame` — Contains thought content, streamed as tokens
+  - `LLMThoughtEndFrame` — Signals the end of a thought
+
+- **Context aggregation** is handled by the framework via `LLMContext` + `LLMContextAggregatorPair`. The LLM service just processes context it receives — no need to implement aggregators.

-## Notes
+## How It Works
 
-- 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
+- `conf.py` runs `sphinx-apidoc` during Sphinx's `setup()` phase to generate `.rst` files from Python source
+- Sphinx autodoc imports each module to extract docstrings
+- Modules with unavailable dependencies are listed in `autodoc_mock_imports` in `conf.py`
+- Napoleon extension converts Google-style docstrings to reStructuredText
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-If you encounter missing service modules:
+**Module not appearing in docs:**
 
-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
+1. Check the build output for `autodoc: failed to import` warnings
+2. If the module has an unresolvable import dependency, add it to `autodoc_mock_imports` in `conf.py`
+3. Verify the module is importable: `uv run python -c "import pipecat.module.name"`
 
-For dependency conflicts:
+**Duplicate object warnings:**
 
-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
+These come from re-export modules or Sphinx discovering the same class through multiple import paths. Usually cosmetic.
 
-For more information:
+**Docstring formatting warnings:**
 
-- [ReadTheDocs Configuration](.readthedocs.yaml)
-- [Sphinx Documentation](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/)
+Docstrings use reStructuredText, not Markdown. Common issues:
+- Use `Example::` with indented code blocks, not `` ```python ``
+- Ensure blank lines between directive content and subsequent sections
+- Use `Parameters:` (not `Attributes:`) for dataclass field documentation to avoid duplicate entries

 # Pipecat Examples
 
-This directory contains examples to help you learn how to build with Pipecat.
+This directory contains examples showing how to build voice and multimodal agents with Pipecat.
 
-## Getting Started
+## Setup
 
-New to Pipecat? Start here:
+1. Follow the [README](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/README.md#%EF%B8%8F-contributing-to-the-framework) steps to get your local environment configured.
 
-- **[Quickstart](quickstart/)** - Get your first voice AI bot running in 5 minutes _(coming soon)_
-- **[Client/Server Web](client-server-web/)** - Learn to build web applications with Pipecat's client SDKs _(coming soon)_
-- **[Phone Bot with Twilio](phone-bot-twilio/)** - Connect your bot to a phone number _(coming soon)_
+   > **Run from root directory**: Make sure you are running the steps from the root directory.
 
-## Foundational Examples
+   > **Using local audio?**: The `LocalAudioTransport` requires a system dependency for `portaudio`. Install the dependency to use the transport.
 
-Single-file examples that introduce core Pipecat concepts one at a time. These examples:
+2. Copy the [`env.example`](../env.example) file and add API keys for services you plan to use:
 
-- Build on each other progressively
-- Focus on specific features or integrations
-- Are used for testing with every Pipecat release
+   ```bash
+   cp env.example .env
+   # Edit .env with your API keys
+   ```
 
-See the **[Foundational Examples README](foundational/)** for the complete list.
+3. Run any example:
 
-## More Advanced Examples
+   ```bash
+   uv run python getting-started/01-say-one-thing.py
+   ```
 
-Ready to explore complex use cases? Visit **[pipecat-examples](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat-examples)** for:
+4. Open the web interface at http://localhost:7860/client/ and click "Connect"
 
-- Production-ready applications
-- Multi-platform client implementations
-- Telephony integrations
-- Multimodal and creative applications
-- Deployment and monitoring examples
+## Running examples with other transports
+
+Most examples support running with other transports, like Twilio or Daily.
+
+### Daily
+
+You need to create a Daily account at https://dashboard.daily.co/u/signup. Once signed up, you can create your own room from the dashboard and set the environment variables `DAILY_ROOM_URL` and `DAILY_API_KEY`. Alternatively, you can let the example create a room for you (still needs `DAILY_API_KEY` environment variable). Then, start any example with `-t daily`:
+
+```bash
+uv run getting-started/06-voice-agent.py -t daily
+```
+
+### Twilio
+
+It is also possible to run the example through a Twilio phone number. You will need to setup a few things:
+
+1. Install and run [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/download).
+
+```bash
+ngrok http 7860
+```
+
+2. Configure your Twilio phone number. One way is to setup a TwiML app and set the request URL to the ngrok URL from step (1). Then, set your phone number to use the new TwiML app.
+
+Then, run the example with:
+
+```bash
+uv run getting-started/06-voice-agent.py -t twilio -x NGROK_HOST_NAME
+```

+### Customizing Network Settings
+
+```bash
+uv run python <example-name> --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- **No audio/video**: Check browser permissions for microphone and camera
+- **Connection errors**: Verify API keys in `.env` file
+- **Port conflicts**: Use `--port` to change the port

-# Pipecat Foundational Examples
-
-This directory contains examples showing how to build voice and multimodal agents with Pipecat. Each example demonstrates specific features, progressing from basic to advanced concepts.
-
-## Setup
-
-1. Follow the [README](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/README.md#%EF%B8%8F-contributing-to-the-framework) steps to get your local environment configured.
-
-   > **Run from root directory**: Make sure you are running the steps from the root directory.
-
-   > **Using local audio?**: The `LocalAudioTransport` requires a system dependency for `portaudio`. Install the dependency to use the transport.
-
-2. Copy the [`env.example`](../../env.example) file and add API keys for services you plan to use:
-
-   ```bash
-   cp env.example .env
-   # Edit .env with your API keys
-   ```
-
-3. Navigate to the examples directory if you aren't already there:
-
-   ```bash
-   cd examples/foundational
-   ```
-
-4. Run any example:
-
-   ```bash
-   uv run python 01-say-one-thing.py
-   ```
-
-5. Open the web interface at http://localhost:7860/client/ and click "Connect"
-
-## Running examples with other transports
-
-Most examples support running with other transports, like Twilio or Daily.
-
-### Daily
-
-You need to create a Daily account at https://dashboard.daily.co/u/signup. Once signed up, you can create your own room from the dashboard and set the environment variables `DAILY_ROOM_URL` and `DAILY_API_KEY`. Alternatively, you can let the example create a room for you (still needs `DAILY_API_KEY` environment variable). Then, start any example with `-t daily`:
-
-```bash
-uv run 07-interruptible.py -t daily
-```
-
-### Twilio
-
-It is also possible to run the example through a Twilio phone number. You will need to setup a few things:
-
-1. Install and run [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/download).
-
-```bash
-ngrok http 7860
-```
-
-2. Configure your Twilio phone number. One way is to setup a TwiML app and set the request URL to the ngrok URL from step (1). Then, set your phone number to use the new TwiML app.
-
-Then, run the example with:
-
-```bash
-uv run 07-interruptible.py -t twilio -x NGROK_HOST_NAME
-```
-
-## Examples by Feature
-
-### Basics
-
