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


Thanks — I’m responding about your override of `stt_node` and whether calling `Agent.default.stt` multiple times there is correct.

You should call the default STT implementation once per audio stream. The supported pattern is to override `stt_node`, optionally preprocess the audio stream, call `Agent.default.stt_node(...)` a single time to produce speech events, then optionally postprocess those events. Calling `Agent.default.stt_node` multiple times risks reprocessing the same stream or violating stream-consumption assumptions and is not recommended.

If you’d like, share the relevant code snippet (the `stt_node` override) and I’ll review it and suggest how to refactor to a single `Agent.default.stt_node` call.
