 | `feedVideo(jpeg)`           | Push an externally-captured JPEG frame (requires `enableVideo: false`). Accepts a `Blob`, `ArrayBuffer`, or view. |

 `warmupComplete` fires once the server model has warmed up and is producing real predictions; use it to drop any loading UI. `prediction.responding` is `true` while your app is mid-response (see `markResponding`), and `interjection` fires when the agent should volunteer after humans go quiet.
