//! `SttService<P>` — the one `FrameHandler` every STT provider runs on.
//!
//! Owns the WebSocket session, the [`TurnGate`], the [`AudioFrontend`] and the
//! billing hook. A [`SttProvider`] contributes only its wire protocol.
//!
//! Frames consumed:
//!   - `StartFrame`             → connects WebSocket, resets gate
//!   - `InputAudioRaw`          → front-end → gate (send now / pre-roll buffer)
//!   - `VADUserStartedSpeaking` → drops any pending stop (barge-in), bumps
//!     epoch, forwards frame, sends pre-roll
//!   - `VADUserStoppedSpeaking` → CONSUMED: stashed in the gate; front-end
//!     tail + finalize sent; release timeout armed
//!   - `EndFrame` / `CancelFrame` → resets gate, disconnects, forwards
//!
//! Frames produced:
//!   - `TranscriptionFrame` (downstream) for mid-turn and interim transcripts
//!   - `VADUserStoppedSpeaking` (downstream, transcript bundled on) when the
//!     gate releases it
//!   - `ErrorFrame` (upstream) on connection / provider errors
