From d0d7a16fa713e8cb77dcf75f99d387b76125df44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Devesh36 <142524747+Devesh36@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2025 00:27:30 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] refactor: improve interruption detection word count logic - Remove condition that skipped word count check for empty/undefined STT text - Apply minInterruptionWords filtering uniformly to all speech scenarios - Normalize undefined/null transcripts to empty string for consistent handling - Update onEndOfTurn to use same splitWords logic as onVADInferenceDone - Add comprehensive test suite with 23 test cases covering: * Empty and undefined transcript handling * Word count threshold logic * Punctuation and whitespace handling * Integration scenarios between both methods This ensures consistent interruption behavior regardless of transcript content, preventing unwanted interruptions from silence or very short utterances.
