Full Release Notes

### Patch Changes

-   Release a TTS's pooled provider connections once nothing uses it any more. Every activity and session that uses a TTS instance counts as a user; when the last one closes, or `Agent.updateOptions` swaps the instance out, its idle connections close and any in-flight synthesis closes its connection when it finishes instead of returning it to the pool. Pooled websockets of a handed-off agent otherwise idled until the process exited. Instances shared between agents or sessions keep their connections until the last user is done, and a session's own TTS stays warm across every handoff. Adds `TTS.releaseIdleConnections()` and `ConnectionPool.releaseIdle()`, implemented by the inference TTS and the Cartesia, Deepgram, Fish Audio, Rime and xAI plugins. The Inworld stream now keeps one pool object for its whole lifetime, so an API key update mid-synthesis no longer strands its listener. - [#2567](https://github.com/livekit/agents-js/pull/2567) ([@davidzhao](https://github.com/davidzhao))

-   Add Rime WebSocket v1 streaming with binary and JSON support through the published - [#2450](https://github.com/livekit/agents-js/pull/2450) ([@naszzz](https://github.com/naszzz))
    protocol package. Support sentence input, cancellation, connection reuse, and all
    six audio formats. Keep HTTP and WS3 support, use consistent sample rates, and
    remove provider and transport details from errors.

    Handle terminal Rime HTTP TTS errors through the existing error event without leaving
    an unhandled background rejection.
    Keep Rime stream metrics tied to their fixed options. Handle tokenizer failures
    while input remains open.
    Retry Rime v1 requests that complete without audio for nonempty input.
