New Features
- Added `BOT_TTS_MODEL` setting for OpenAI TTS configuration.
- Integrated Deepgram Aura TTS as default in `pipecat-bot-py`.
Improvements
- Reduced time-to-first-audio from 0.94s to 0.52s.
- Improved PSTN call latency from 1.95s to 1.01s.
- Added performance benchmarks for OpenAI TTS comparison.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed pause-mode barge-in dropping bot audio after resolution.
