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.
- 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
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.
