Benow.Conversation.Core

The shared conversation engine (Conversation V2): voice pipeline (VAD with pre-roll, segment dispatch, progressive TTS pacing), AI provider clients (STT / chat / TTS), the extractor-speaker LLM strategy, capture and playback primitives, persona bundles, and the conversation engine that ties them together.

Consumed by the Conversation desktop app and by NASTV (plan §4.5). Dependency ceiling: only Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions — no ASP.NET, no DB drivers — so the assembly stays loadable inside a NASTV plugin (deps.json-free probing).

Key types: ConversationEngine, ConversationFactory, VoiceVAD, SpeechQueue, TtsChunkPacer, TurnTimeline, PersonaStore/PersonaBinding, ConfigStore.
