Summary
AI summaryUpdates Voicebot speech sanitizer, CLI, and Internal across a mixed release.
Full changelog
The voice agent never speaks tool-call syntax again, and call events say what tools actually did. cli-v0.18.0 cut alongside; the SDK is unchanged and stays at hail-sdk==0.13.0.
Voicebot speech sanitizer
- LLM turns that are tool-call syntax (code fences, bare JSON — seen when fast-tier models leak arguments as text during IVR navigation) are no longer spoken or recorded as agent turns; the IVR prompt now names an explicit nothing-to-say reply instead of the impossible "say nothing".
tool_callevents now carry per-call arguments (string values capped at 200 chars);hail tailrenders them assend_dtmf(digits=2).- New
person_detectedcall event marks the machine→person handoff after IVR navigation;hail tailuses it (with the AMD verdict) to label phone-tree speech[machine]even when transcripts arrive after the verdict.
CLI
hail tailno longer prints per-second[wait] .filler lines (shipped in 0.18.0, removed after real-world use: they drowned the transcript).
Internal
- Repo conformed to ruff 0.16 defaults (mechanical fixes plus documented rule ignores for FastAPI and resilience idioms);
.claudeexcluded from lint walks.
