These changes improve the flexibility and usability of the translation system, allowing for better configuration and user interaction.

- Added an `enabled` parameter to the `DebouncedTranslator` class to toggle debounce functionality.
- Implemented an `update_enabled` method to manage debounce state and cancel pending tasks when disabled.
- Updated `DeepgramTranslationAgent` to accept a `debounce_enabled` parameter for configuration.
- Enhanced the `SplitViewDisplay` component to include a debounce toggle in the UI, allowing users to enable or disable debounce in real-time.
- Introduced fade-in animations for text changes to improve user experience during translation updates.

These changes improve the flexibility of the translation system and enhance the user interface for better interaction.

- Replaced `TranslationDisplay` and `SplitViewDisplay` components with `TranslationAlternate` and `TranslationSplit` for improved functionality.
- Introduced a configuration panel in the session view for selecting source and target languages, adjusting debounce settings, and enabling/disabling debounce.
- Implemented a tab navigation system for switching between 'alternate' and 'split' display modes, enhancing user experience.
- Removed deprecated components to streamline the codebase and improve maintainability.

These changes enhance the translation interface, providing users with more control over their settings and improving the overall usability of the application.

…inability

- Replaced direct RPC handling in `TranslationAlternate` and `TranslationSplit` with a custom hook `useTranslationRPC` for better separation of concerns.
- Introduced a new `ConversationBubble` component to standardize the display of conversation items, enhancing code reusability and readability.
- Streamlined state management for original and translated texts, improving performance and reducing complexity.
- Implemented automatic scrolling behavior using `useAutoScroll` for a smoother user experience during translation updates.

These changes enhance the overall structure and usability of the translation interface, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

- Enhanced `DeepgramTranslationAgent` to support incremental updates by calculating deltas between original and translated texts, improving real-time rendering accuracy.
- Updated the `TranslationData` structure to include `full_text` and `delta` fields for both original and translated texts, facilitating smoother UI updates.
- Modified frontend components (`TranslationAlternate` and `TranslationSplit`) to utilize the new data structure, allowing for animated text changes and better user experience during interim translations.
- Improved `ConversationBubble` component to handle incremental rendering, ensuring users see both real-time updates and final results without accumulated errors.

These changes significantly enhance the translation interface, providing a more responsive and accurate user experience.

- Added timing measurement in `DebouncedTranslator` to log translation duration, improving performance insights.
- Updated logging format to include elapsed time for translations, enhancing debugging capabilities.
- Modified `DeepgramTranslationAgent` to send original and translated texts together after translation completion, improving user experience.
- Adjusted frontend component `TranslationAlternate` to clarify the display of interim translations, ensuring users are informed when translations are in progress.

These changes improve the overall functionality and user experience of the translation system, providing better performance tracking and clearer communication during translations.

- Updated logic in the `TranslationAlternate` component to ensure that interim translations are only updated when new translations are available, maintaining the current value when no new translation is provided.
- Removed unnecessary state updates for interim translations when the payload does not contain a new translation, improving performance and clarity in translation updates.

These changes enhance the efficiency of the translation process by reducing unnecessary state changes and improving user experience during interim translations.

…d MediaTiles components

- Deleted the `AppLayout` component to streamline the application structure.
- Updated padding and margin styles in the `SessionView` component for improved layout consistency.
- Adjusted the height of the background div in `SessionView` and modified the gradient height for better visual alignment.
- Refined positioning of elements in the `MediaTiles` component to enhance the overall user interface.

These changes simplify the layout and improve the visual presentation of the application.

…nt and SessionView

- Removed debounce configuration parameters from the `update_config` method in `DeepgramTranslationAgent`, with a note that debounce settings are now controlled via backend environment variables.
- Updated the `SessionView` component to eliminate local state management for debounce settings, simplifying the configuration process.
- Added clarifications in comments regarding the handling of debounce settings, enhancing code readability and maintainability.

These changes streamline the translation configuration process and improve the overall clarity of the codebase.

…ect component

- Implemented a useEffect hook to automatically select the first available non-BlackHole media device if the currently active device is identified as BlackHole.
- This enhancement improves user experience by ensuring that users are not stuck with a non-functional audio/video device during sessions.

These changes streamline device management in the application, enhancing overall functionality.
