[parallel-arch][Task 2] Implement Silence Detection Service #369

Description

@wysRocket

📋 Taskmaster Task 2

Description: Develop a SilenceDetector module to monitor audio input, detect configurable silence thresholds, and emit events to trigger conversation responses.

🔧 Implementation Details

Create src/services/audio/silence-detector.ts using the Web Audio API (AudioContext, AnalyserNode) for real-time volume analysis. Implement a rolling buffer to track audio levels, configurable silenceThreshold (default 1200ms), volumeThreshold (default 0.01), and debounceMs (default 200ms). Use requestAnimationFrame for low-latency polling. Expose an event emitter interface for integration. Ensure feature toggle and runtime configuration. Research shows this approach is robust and cross-browser compatible as of 2025.

🧪 Test Strategy

Unit test with synthetic audio streams (silence, speech, rapid transitions). Validate detection accuracy, debounce logic, and configuration options. Test with real microphone input in browser.
