feat: acoustic shush detection for instant TTS interruption#151
Conversation
Add a spectral fricative detector that runs directly on raw audio frames during TTS playback, enabling sub-300ms "shhh" detection without waiting for Whisper transcription. The detector analyses each 20ms frame's frequency profile — a shush has high energy in 2–8 kHz with little below 500 Hz. Sustained detection across 15 consecutive frames (300ms) triggers an immediate TTS interrupt, avoiding false positives from brief sibilants in speech.
