"""OpenAI Realtime with locally-driven turn detection.

By default OpenAI Realtime drives the conversation with its own server-side
VAD (see `realtime-openai.py`). This variant disables server-side turn
detection (``turn_detection=False``) and instead drives turn boundaries
locally with ``SileroVADAnalyzer`` wired into the user aggregator. This is
the path to take if you want a turn analyzer like ``LocalSmartTurnV3`` to
decide when the user is done speaking, or if you need ``UserStartedSpeakingFrame``
/ ``UserStoppedSpeakingFrame`` to fire from the same source as
``InterruptionFrame``.

Caveat: locally-generated turn boundaries are a heuristic and may not match
the provider's actual server-side turn decisions. With OpenAI Realtime,
server-side turn detection is generally what the service expects to drive
the conversation, and disabling it puts the responsibility on you. Prefer
server-emitted turn frames (i.e. the base `realtime-openai.py` example)
unless you have a specific reason to drive turn detection locally.
