Environment

Notes

• Defaults to scribe_v2 (the Speech-to-Text model) and uses a filesystem lock to avoid parallel requests.
• Requires curl and jq.
• For async workflows, use --webhook with optional --webhook-id and --webhook-metadata.
• Realtime streaming is available via scripts/realtime.sh (requires ffmpeg + websocat) and uses the scribe_v2_realtime model.
• Live listener mode is available via scripts/live_listen.sh with toggle/always-on modes and optional TTS response.
