what are the values for agent_state and user_state

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


Thanks — regarding the values for `agent_state` and `user_state`:

• *agent_state*
    ◦ `initializing` — session is setting up; no audio/video processing yet
    ◦ `listening` — agent is listening for user input
    ◦ `thinking` — agent is processing input and generating a response
    ◦ `speaking` — agent is speaking; audio being generated
    ◦ `idle` — agent is ready but not currently processing input
• *user_state*
    ◦ `speaking` — user has started speaking
    ◦ `listening` — user has stopped speaking
    ◦ `away` — user is not present (disconnected or inactive); triggered after `user_away_timeout` (default 15.0s)
If you want, I can point you to the docs for these fields or show where `user_away_timeout` is configured.
