These two configurations handle different stages in the pipeline: - onPunctuationSeconds is part of the endpointing logic, used to finalize the customer's speech. - waitSeconds kicks in after endpointing has decided the customer is done, adding a further pause before the assistant speaks. They do not directly add on top of each other but function in sequence as part of the process. If endpointing concludes the customer's speech early (e.g., using a punctuation timeout), the assistant will still respect the minimum waitSeconds before responding.
