b859dfab16 fix: address voice mode review feedback
1. Fully lazy imports: sounddevice, numpy, elevenlabs, edge_tts, and
   openai are never imported at module level. Each is imported only when
   the feature is explicitly activated, preventing crashes in headless
   environments (SSH, Docker, WSL, no PortAudio).

2. No core agent loop changes: streaming TTS path extracted from
   _interruptible_api_call() into separate _streaming_api_call() method.
   The original method is restored to its upstream form.

3. Configurable key binding: push-to-talk key changed from Ctrl+R
   (conflicts with readline reverse-search) to Ctrl+B by default.
   Configurable via voice.push_to_talk_key in config.yaml.

4. Environment detection: new detect_audio_environment() function checks
   for SSH, Docker, WSL, and missing audio devices before enabling voice
   mode. Auto-disables with clear warnings in incompatible environments.

5. Graceful degradation: every audio touchpoint (sd.play, sd.InputStream,
   sd.OutputStream) wrapped in try/except with ImportError/OSError
   handling. Failures produce warnings, not crashes.

dad865e920 fix: fix silence detection bugs and add Phase 4 voice mode features
Fix 3 critical bugs in silence detection:
- Micro-pause tolerance now tracks dip duration (not time since speech start)
- Peak RMS check in stop() prevents discarding recordings with real speech
- Reduced min_speech_duration from 0.5s to 0.3s for reliable speech confirmation

Phase 4 features: configurable silence params, visual audio level indicator,
voice system prompt, tool call audio cues, TTS interrupt, continuous mode
auto-restart, interruptable playback via Popen tracking.

32b033c11c feat: add silence filter, hallucination guard, and continuous mode control
- Skip silent recordings before STT call (RMS check in AudioRecorder.stop)
- Filter known Whisper hallucinations ("Thank you.", "Bye." etc.)
- Continuous mode: Ctrl+R starts loop, Ctrl+R during recording exits it
- Wait for TTS to finish before auto-restart to avoid recording speaker
- Silence timeout increased to 3s for natural pauses
- Tests: hallucination filter, silent recording skip, real speech passthrough

bfd9c97705 feat: add Phase 4 low-latency features for voice mode
- Audio cues: beep on record start (880Hz), double beep on stop (660Hz)
- Silence detection: auto-stop recording after 3s of silence (RMS-based)
- Continuous mode: auto-restart recording after agent responds
  - Ctrl+R starts continuous mode, Ctrl+R during recording exits it
  - Waits for TTS to finish before restarting to avoid recording speaker
- Tests: 7 new tests for beep generation and silence detection

a69bd55b5a fix: isolate GROQ_API_KEY in test_missing_stt_key test
The test was failing because GROQ_API_KEY leaked from the environment.
Now both VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY and GROQ_API_KEY are removed to
properly test the "no STT key" scenario.

1a6fbef8a9 feat: add voice mode with push-to-talk and TTS output for CLI
Implements Issue #314 Phase 2 & 3:
- /voice command to toggle voice mode (on/off/tts/status)
- Ctrl+Space push-to-talk recording via sounddevice
- Whisper STT transcription via existing transcription_tools
- Optional TTS response playback via existing tts_tool
- Visual indicators in prompt (recording/transcribing/voice)
- 21 unit tests, all mocked (no real mic/API)
- Optional deps: sounddevice, numpy (pip install hermes-agent[voice])
