-Fixes applied:
-─────────────
-1. MODEL ROUTING — USE_GEMINI / USE_OLLAMA / USE_LOCAL_FALLBACK flags.
-   Exactly one must be True; startup raises if misconfigured.
-
-2. UNIQUE VOICE USER IDs — Each WebSocket connection receives its own
-   user_id (f"voice_{uuid4().hex[:12]}"). Browser may override via
-   {"type": "init", "user_id": "..."} as first text frame.
-
-3. STABLE WS LIFECYCLE — All blocking I/O is delegated to workers via
-   asyncio.Queue. The receive loop never blocks; handlers run as Tasks.
-
-4. TASK ISOLATION — STT, LLM, and TTS are distinct async tasks per turn,
-   cleanly cancelled on barge-in or disconnect.
-
-5. CHAT WS — reconnect-safe; send is guarded by readyState helper.

- ROUTING CONFIG — mirrors tts.py; must stay in sync
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- USE_ELEVENLABS = True   → ElevenLabs streaming TTS
- USE_ELEVENLABS = False  → Edge-TTS (free, no API key needed)

- change it in ONE place (tts.py). streaming.py re-exports it for clarity.
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-Changelog (vs previous streaming.py):
-──────────────────────────────────────
-1. DUAL BACKEND ROUTING — _synthesise() dispatches to either
-   _edge_tts_stream() or _elevenlabs_stream() via the shared
-   text_to_speech_stream() unified API in tts.py.
-
-2. VOICE OVERRIDE PER INSTANCE — ParallelTTSStreamer.__init__ accepts
-   an optional `voice` param. For Edge-TTS pass a voice name string;
-   for ElevenLabs pass a voice ID. None uses the tts.py defaults.
-
-3. ELEVENLABS LATENCY TUNING — When ElevenLabs is active, flush
-   thresholds are slightly tighter (FIRST_FLUSH_BOUNDARY_MIN = 8 chars,
-   FIRST_FLUSH_HARD = 35 chars) because ElevenLabs has higher per-request
-   latency than Edge-TTS and benefits from being called with slightly
-   larger chunks rather than many tiny requests.
-
-4. ALL PREVIOUS FIXES RETAINED:
-   • FIRST_FLUSH_BOUNDARY_MIN 15→10 (Edge-TTS) / 10→8 (ElevenLabs)
-   • '॥' (double danda) in SENTENCE_BOUNDARIES
-   • cancel() sets _cancelled BEFORE task.cancel() (race fix)
-   • asyncio.Event-based slot wake (no spin polling)
-   • MIN_CHARS = 3 (was 4)

-services/stt.py — Production-grade Faster-Whisper STT
-
-Changes from original:
-──────────────────────
-1. LANGLA INITIAL PROMPT — A short Bangla seed sentence primes the decoder
-   to stay in Bengali Unicode (U+0980–U+09FF) space. Without this, Whisper
-   occasionally outputs romanised Bangla or Hindi for short/ambiguous clips.
-
-2. TIGHTER THRESHOLDS:
-   - log_prob_threshold: -1.0 → -0.5
-     Original accepted EVERY segment regardless of model confidence. -0.5
-     rejects low-confidence hallucinations before the repetition guard runs,
-     saving GPU time and reducing bad outputs.
-   - no_speech_threshold: 0.5 → 0.6
-     Slightly stricter — avoids transcribing breath noises as text.
-   - compression_ratio_threshold: explicit 2.4 (same as default, but now
-     we can tune it easily).
-
-3. BETTER FFMPEG PIPELINE — Replaced `loudnorm` (EBU R128, designed for
-   broadcast audio) with a lightweight chain:
-     highpass f=80 → afftdn nf=-25 → aresample=resampler=swr
-   This removes low-frequency rumble, light background noise, and resamples
-   cleanly to 16 kHz without the over-compression artefacts loudnorm
-   introduces on short (1–5 s) speech clips.
-
-4. AUDIO SIZE CAP — Added MAX_INPUT_BYTES (5 MB). Prevents runaway memory
-   usage if a browser bug sends a huge blob.
-
-5. MODEL SELECTION VIA ENV — STT_MODEL env var allows switching to
-   large-v3-turbo (4× faster, similar Bangla accuracy) without code changes.
-   Defaults to large-v3 for maximum quality.
-
-6. All other logic (background preload, singleton, semaphore, hallucination
-   guard, script validation) is preserved unchanged.
+services/stt.py — GPU-Batched Faster-Whisper STT Pipeline
+
+Architecture:
+─────────────
+• Single shared WhisperModel instance (loaded once, never reloaded)
+• asyncio.Queue-based request intake — fully non-blocking
+• Micro-batching worker: accumulates requests over BATCH_WINDOW_MS,
+  then runs a single GPU forward pass for the entire batch
+• Each caller awaits its own asyncio.Future — zero polling overhead
+• ffmpeg audio conversion runs in a ThreadPoolExecutor (I/O bound)
+• GPU inference runs in a dedicated single-thread Executor (serialize GPU)
+• Bangla-optimised decode parameters preserved from original
+
+Latency profile:
+  ffmpeg (parallel)     ~30–80 ms
+  batch wait window     ~50 ms
+  GPU inference         ~80–150 ms per batch (amortised across requests)
+  Total perceived       < 200 ms at moderate load
