-## 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!

-- Introducing user turn strategies. User turn strategies indicate when the user turn starts or stops. In conversational agents, these are often referred to as start/stop speaking or turn-taking plans or policies.
-
-  User turn start strategies indicate when the user starts speaking (e.g. using VAD events or when a user says one or more words).
-
-  User turn stop strategies indicate when the user stops speaking (e.g. using an end-of-turn detection model or by observing incoming transcriptions).
-
-  A list of strategies can be specified for both strategies; strategies are evaluated in order until one evaluates to true.
-
-  Available user turn start strategies:
-    - VADUserTurnStartStrategy
-    - TranscriptionUserTurnStartStrategy
-    - MinWordsUserTurnStartStrategy
-    - ExternalUserTurnStartStrategy
-
-  Available user turn stop strategies:
-    - TranscriptionUserTurnStopStrategy
-    - TurnAnalyzerUserTurnStopStrategy
-    - ExternalUserTurnStopStrategy
-
-  The default strategies are:
-
-    - start: [VADUserTurnStartStrategy, TranscriptionUserTurnStartStrategy]
-    - stop: [TranscriptionUserTurnStopStrategy]
-
-  Turn strategies are configured when setting up `LLMContextAggregatorPair`. For example:
-
-  ```python
-  context_aggregator = LLMContextAggregatorPair(
-      context,
-      user_params=LLMUserAggregatorParams(

-              ],
-          )
-      ),
-  )
-  ```
-
-  In order to use the user turn strategies you must update to the new universal `LLMContext` and `LLMContextAggregatorPair`.

-- Introducing user mute strategies. User mute strategies indicate when user input should be muted based on the current system state.
-
-  In conversational agents, user mute strategies are used to prevent user input from interrupting bot speech, tool execution, or other critical system operations.
-
-  A list of strategies can be specified; all strategies are evaluated for every frame so that each strategy can maintain its internal state. A user frame is muted if any of the configured strategies indicates it should be muted.
-
-  Available user mute strategies:
-
-  * `FirstSpeechUserMuteStrategy`
-  * `MuteUntilFirstBotCompleteUserMuteStrategy`
-  * `AlwaysUserMuteStrategy`
-  * `FunctionCallUserMuteStrategy`

-  User mute strategies replace the legacy `STTMuteFilter` and provide a more flexible and composable approach to muting user input.

In this example, the bot is not interruptible: as the user continues speaking, English transcriptions are queued, and the bot continuously translates and speaks each queued sentence in Spanish without being interrupted by new user speech.

-    1. Speaker Diarization (STT)
+    1. Speaker Diarization
        - 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)
+    2. Smart Speaker Control
        - `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)
+    3. Voice Activity Detection
        - 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
+    4. 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

-    - Diarization to identify and distinguish between different speakers
-    - Words spoken by each speaker are wrapped with XML tags for LLM processing
-    - System context instructions help the LLM understand multi-party conversations
-    - ENHANCED operating point by default for optimal accuracy
+    By default, this example will use our ENHANCED operating point, which is optimized for
