Conversation
When multiple subagents start tasks simultaneously, they all send voice notifications at once, resulting in garbled overlapping audio output. This adds a server-side FIFO message queue that: - Captures sequence numbers before async operations to guarantee ordering - Processes messages one at a time (sequential playback) - Uses insertion sort to maintain order - Includes queue overflow protection (max 100 messages) - Uses try/finally to ensure processing flag is always reset - Exposes queue status in /health endpoint API response now includes queue_position and queue_depth for visibility.

Prevents memory leak by removing stale rate limit entries every 5 minutes. Without this, the requestCounts map grows indefinitely in long-running servers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
When launching multiple subagents simultaneously (a common pattern in PAI workflows), each agent sends a voice notification as it starts. Since these notifications arrive at the VoiceServer nearly simultaneously, multiple
afplayprocesses spawn concurrently, resulting in garbled, overlapping audio output.Solution
This PR adds a server-side FIFO message queue that serializes voice playback:
try/finallyguard ensures processing flag resets even on errorsChanges
QueuedMessageinterface and queue state managementdrainQueueInOrder()andprocessQueue()functions/notifyand/paiendpoints to enqueue instead of play directlyqueue_positionandqueue_depth/healthendpoint shows queue statusTesting
Tested with concurrent curl requests - messages now play sequentially in arrival order.
Thank you for PAI - it's been incredibly useful. Happy to adjust anything based on your feedback.
