pipecat/changelog/4374.changed.md

• Daily rooms created by the development runner (pipecat.runner.run) now expire after 4 hours with eject_at_room_exp=True, mirroring Pipecat Cloud's max session limit. Previously, runner-created rooms inherited a 2-hour expiration on the default code paths and had no expiration at all when callers posted partial dailyRoomProperties (e.g. {"start_video_off": true}) to /start, causing rooms to accumulate indefinitely. Explicit exp and eject_at_room_exp values in dailyRoomProperties are still respected.
