When off air, callers hear a message and get disconnected. When on
air, calls route normally. Toggle button added to frontend header
with pulsing red ON AIR indicator.

Warm rustic bar palette (dark wood browns, orange neon accent, cream
text) replacing the previous navy/pink theme. Added ?v=2 to all
cover art URLs to force new image.

Fetches episodes from Castopod RSS feed, renders episode cards with
play buttons, and provides a sticky bottom audio player with progress
bar and seeking. Falls back to CORS proxy if direct fetch fails.

- Replace aggressive sentence-count limiting with ensure_complete_thought()
which only trims if the LLM was actually cut off mid-sentence
- Softer prompt guidance for natural brevity instead of rigid sentence count
- max_tokens at 100 as natural length cap
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- max_tokens back to 150 so LLM can finish thoughts
- New limit_sentences() keeps only first 2 complete sentences
- Never cuts mid-sentence — always ends at punctuation
- Applied to both chat and auto-respond paths

- Log chunk count and peak audio level on recording stop
- Add null check on _recorded_audio in callback
- Small delay after stopping piggybacked recording for callback to finish

- Reduce max_tokens from 100 to 75 for shorter output
- Add truncate_to_complete_sentence() to trim at last punctuation
- Applied to both chat and auto-respond paths
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Much stronger prompt language: "no more than 2 sentences EVER"
- Added "DO NOT ramble" instruction
- Reduced max_tokens back to 100 as hard limit
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Increase max_tokens from 100 to 150 to avoid mid-sentence truncation
- Tighten prompt to 1-2 short sentences with emphasis on completing them

- Mute host mic forwarding while TTS is streaming to prevent interleaving
both audio sources into the same playback buffer
- Replace nearest-neighbor downsampling with box-filter averaging on both
server (host mic) and browser (caller mic) for anti-aliased resampling

TTS audio was sent as a single huge WebSocket frame that overflowed the
browser's 3s ring buffer. Now streams in 60ms chunks at real-time rate.
Also increased browser ring buffer from 3s to 10s as safety net.

The auto-respond function played AI TTS to the local Loopback channel
but didn't send it over WebSocket to the live caller in the browser.

- Replace per-callback async task spawning with persistent queue-based sender
- Buffer host mic to 60ms chunks (was 21ms) to reduce WebSocket frame rate
- Reduce server ring buffer prebuffer from 150ms to 80ms
- Reduce browser playback jitter buffer from 150ms to 100ms

When a live caller is on air, the host stream already has an InputStream
open. Opening a second one for push-to-talk recording causes a conflict.
Now recording piggybacks on the host stream callback instead.

- Reduce capture chunk from 4096 to 640 samples (256ms → 40ms)
- Replace BufferSource scheduling with AudioWorklet playback ring buffer
- Add 80ms jitter buffer with linear interpolation upsampling
- Reduce host mic and live caller stream blocksizes from 4096/2048 to 1024
- Replace librosa.resample with numpy interpolation in send_audio_to_caller
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Use persistent callback-based output stream instead of opening/closing per chunk
- Replace librosa.resample with simple decimation in real-time audio callbacks
- Move host stream initialization to background thread to avoid blocking
- Change live caller channel default to 9
