Live voice hands Hermes a new request while earlier work runs - #217
Merged

Conversation
Both live voice providers' instructions now say that Hermes runs each delegated request on its own, side by side: delegate a new request as soon as it is complete, without waiting for earlier work, and keep talking in between. The app runs each request at once (bighelp's live voice no longer queues them). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
In live voice, the voice model gives a task to Hermes. Then, while Hermes works, it does not give a new request to Hermes. It holds the request or says that it must wait. A call must feel like a conversation in which the agent does many tasks at the same time.
Change
Both live voice providers' instructions (
DEFAULT_INSTRUCTIONSandPublicLiveProvider.default_instructions) now say:The bighelp app now starts each request at once. When the chat is free, the request becomes a turn of the chat. Otherwise it runs as a Hermes background task.
