+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. First, check what commits are on the current branch compared to main:
+   ```
+   git log main..HEAD --oneline
+   ```
+
+2. For each significant change, create a changelog file in the `changelog/` folder using the format:
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.added.md` - for new features
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.added.2.md`, `{PR_NUMBER}.added.3.md` - for additional new features
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.changed.md` - for changes to existing functionality
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.fixed.md` - for bug fixes
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.deprecated.md` - for deprecations
+
+3. Each changelog file should at least contain a main single line starting with `- ` followed by a clear description of the change.
+
+4. If the change is complicated, changelog files can have indented lines after the main line with additional details or code samples.
+
+5. 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.
+"""
+```
+
+## Checklist
+
+Before finishing, verify:
+
+- [ ] Module has a docstring at the top (after copyright header and imports)
+- [ ] All public classes have docstrings
+- [ ] All `__init__` methods document their parameters

+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

+# 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
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+Community integrations are community-maintained and not officially supported by the Pipecat team. Users should evaluate these integrations independently. The Pipecat team reserves the right to remove listings that become unmaintained or problematic.
+
+## Staying Up to Date
+
+Pipecat evolves rapidly to support the latest AI technologies and patterns. While we strive to minimize breaking changes, they do occur as the framework matures.
+
+**We strongly recommend:**
+
+- Join our Discord at https://discord.gg/pipecat and monitor the `#announcements` channel for release notifications
+- Follow our changelog: https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
+- Test your integration against new Pipecat releases promptly
+- Update your README with the last tested Pipecat version
+
+This helps ensure your integration remains compatible and your users have clear expectations about version support.

+## 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:

+  - 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.

+- Fixed an issue where if you were using `OpenRouterLLMService` with a Gemini model, it wouldn't handle multiple `"system"` messages as expected (and as we do in `GoogleLLMService`), which is to convert subsequent ones into `"user"` messages. Instead, the latest `"system"` message would overwrite the previous ones.

+- Improved the STT TTFB (Time To First Byte) measurement, reporting the delay between when the user stops speaking and when the final transcription is received. Note: Unlike traditional TTFB which measures from a discrete request, STT services receive continuous audio input—so we measure from speech end to final transcript, which captures the latency that matters for voice AI applications.

-    2. Smart Speaker Control
+    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

-    4. Configuration Options
+    4. Text-to-Speech (TTS)
+       - Low latency streaming audio synthesis
+       - Multiple voice options available including `sarah`, `theo`, `megan` and `jack`
+
