Until now every utterance near the microphone became a turn. SurfaceVoice caps
acts at L0, which made that safe rather than expensive, but L0 does not cap
reading: the room could still hear his facts read back.
The gate sits at dispatch, not at the VAD. The keyword opens a window, the VAD
closes the utterance when he stops, and dispatch asks whether the window was
open. That ordering is what lets him say "Мэйвен" and then a sentence: the
window has to outlive the word by the length of what follows it.
One keyword buys one turn. A window that renewed itself on every reply would
leave the microphone open for as long as he kept talking, which is the state
this exists to end.
Her own voice cannot wake her. Every path above the gate returns while the
player is running, so no frame of her reply is ever scored, and the streaming
state is cleared when playback ends.
Nil is a working value. Without -wake-model the gate is open and this is
yesterday's mavwaked, which is what an operator with a missing file should get
rather than a daemon that refuses to listen.
