 - This fork is from https://github.com/OHF-Voice/linux-voice-assistant Release v1.0.0 which introduces the ability to use both MicroWakeWord and OpenWakeWord detections models.

 - **Core Refactor (Nov 2025):** Major architectural cleanup moving audio logic to a dedicated engine.
+- **Changed Alarm to include a Duration Setting:** Added a MQTT control to make the alarm duration adjustable.
