- If you use an STT service that emits finalized transcripts (Speechmatics, Soniox, Deepgram Flux, AssemblyAI) with `SpeechTimeoutUserTurnStopStrategy`, user turns now end as soon as `user_speech_timeout` elapses after VAD stop. Previously the strategy also waited for the STT P99 latency (`ttfs_p99_latency`) even when the transcript was already marked final. `user_speech_timeout` is still honored as a floor — STT finalization never shortens it.
