Add a `semantic_vad` turn-detection mode to the realtime API that feeds the transcription model live and decides "the user finished speaking" from the `<EOU>` end-of-utterance token rather than from silence alone. When EOU fires the turn commits immediately (~0.3s); otherwise it falls back to an eagerness-scaled silence threshold (low/med/high = 8/4/2s). Plumbing, bottom to top: - proto: `AudioTranscriptionLive` bidirectional RPC (config-first oneof, mono float PCM @16k, ready-ack / Unimplemented degrade signal) plus `TranscriptResult.eou` for the unary retranscribe gate. - pkg/grpc: client/server/base/embed scaffolding for the bidi stream, modeled on AudioTransformStream; release stream conns on terminal Recv. - parakeet-cpp: live transcription RPC with per-C-call engine locking (one live stream per turn, finalize+free at commit); bump parakeet.cpp to ABI v5 — incremental StreamingMel (no more quadratic per-feed mel recompute that delayed EOU on long turns) and the <EOU>/<EOB> split; strip the literal <EOU>/<EOB> from offline text and set Eou. - core/backend: LiveTranscriptionSession wrapper + pipeline `turn_detection:` config block (type/eagerness/retranscribe). - realtime: semantic_vad integration — live input captions streamed as transcription deltas while the user speaks, EOU-immediate commit with eagerness fallback, optional retranscribe gate (batch re-decode must also end in <EOU> to confirm), clause synthesis off the LLM token callback, and per-turn live-transcription / model_load telemetry. - UI: show the realtime pipeline components as a vertical list. Docs and tests included; opt-in via the pipeline YAML or per-session `session.update`. Non-streaming STT backends degrade to silence-only.
