Spoken when a pipeline turn's LLM stream fails, so a provider outage is a
recoverable moment in the conversation instead of a dead line.
Without it the caller hears nothing at all: a failed turn produces no text,

browser surfaces silently. Observed against the AssemblyAI LLM Gateway

conversation back. "" disables it.
