Google STT streaming dies if you stop sending chunks, and caps at 5 minutes
Keep sending audio chunks every few seconds or the streaming session closes, and plan to reopen streams at the 5 minute audio limit.
Context: Official docs (Google Cloud Speech-to-Text troubleshooting): a streaming recognition session closes if you dont keep sending audio chunks every few seconds, even when nobody is talking. Send silence or keepalives to hold it open. Separately, streams hit a 5 minute audio limit, so long sessions need to reopen the stream and handle the handoff.Maintainer review
