Summary
Add context-aware interruption handling that distinguishes between filler words and commands during agent speech.

Behavior

  • Filler words (yeah, ok, hmm) are IGNORED when agent is speaking - agent continues seamlessly
  • Command words (stop, wait, no) always INTERRUPT the agent immediately
  • Mixed input (yeah but wait) triggers INTERRUPT due to command word
  • When agent is silent, all input is processed normally

Changes

  • agent_activity.py: Added InterruptionFilter class with should_interrupt() logic
  • voice/init.py & agents/init.py: Export new classes
  • intelligent_interrupt_agent.py: Example agent with custom configuration
  • test_interruption_filter.py: 25 unit tests (all passing)
  • README.md: Updated documentation
  • basic_agent.py: Clean implementation with framework settings

Configuration
resume_false_interruption=True
false_interruption_timeout=1.0

Testing

  • 25 unit tests passing
  • Agent tested with LiveKit playground
