Summary

Removed realtime startup prewarm to reduce overhead and added hands‑free live conversation mode.

Full changelog

Hands-free realtime conversation mode, and a leaner on-demand realtime
connection path.

  • Live conversation mode for the realtime assistant. Tapping the
    assistant hotkey now opens a hands-free, back-and-forth spoken
    conversation: talk, listen to the reply, and just keep talking — no
    key press between turns, all over one session. The on-screen overlay
    shows whose turn it is and animates to the live audio — green while
    you speak, blue while the assistant does. The conversation ends on its
    own after a short silence or when you say you're done (or instantly on
    a second tap / Escape), so it never sits there running up cost. Holding
    the hotkey still works exactly as before: hold to talk, release to hear
    the full reply. (Talking over the assistant to interrupt it needs
    system echo cancellation and is coming next — see the roadmap.)
  • Removed the realtime startup prewarm. The Gemini Live startup
    pre-connect shipped in 0.11.0 only warmed transient DNS/TCP/TLS/
    WebSocket caches that go stale within minutes, so it delivered no
    reliable latency gain once the daemon had been idle for a while — the
    common case — while leaving dead code on the realtime path. It has
    been removed; realtime sessions connect strictly on demand at first
    use. Push-to-talk behaviour is unchanged.
