maintainer edit: treat arbitrary custom provider names as direct OpenAI-compatible providers, validate their api_type consistently, and avoid Pydantic instance-field warnings in fallback routing.
Add AssemblyAI as a third transcription provider option alongside
OpenAI and Groq. AssemblyAI offers better accuracy for certain
audio types (distant voices, noisy environments) and serves as a
reliable fallback when other providers struggle.
Changes:
- Add AssemblyAITranscriptionProvider class in providers/transcription.py
- Add 'assemblyai' option in base channel's transcribe_audio()
- Per-channel configuration via transcriptionProvider in config
Usage:
Set transcriptionProvider: 'assemblyai' and provide an AssemblyAI
API key via transcriptionApiKey in the channel config.
- Add `ModelPresetConfig` schema for named model presets
- Add `model_presets` dict to `Config` and `model_preset` field to `AgentDefaults`
- Add `resolve_preset()` to return effective model params from preset or defaults
- Add `@model_validator` to reject unknown preset names
- Update `_match_provider()` to use resolved preset model/provider
- Update `make_provider()` and `provider_signature()` to use `resolve_preset()`
- Add `model_preset` property to `AgentLoop` for atomic runtime switching
- Update `AgentLoop.from_config()` to inject a runtime `default` preset
- Wire self-tool to inspect/clear preset state
- Update CLI display strings to show active preset
