what is the reason for this
livekit.agents - initialization timed out, killing process
error?

Thanks for reaching out, Mohammed. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.



The error message "initialization timed out, killing process" occurs when the process fails to respond to an initialization request within the configured timeout period. This typically happens during the initialization phase where the system sends an `InitializeRequest` and waits for an `InitializeResponse`. If the response is not received within the timeout, the system logs the error and terminates the process as a safety measure.
