Adds a LiveKit agent session type alongside the existing Daily, WebSocket, and SmallWebRTC ones. Like the others it subclasses the matching pipecat-ai runner type (LiveKitRunnerArguments), so it carries room_name, url, token, and session_id and works with pipecat's create_transport and isinstance checks. pipecat.runner.run vends LiveKitRunnerArguments for local runs. To start an agent on Pipecat Cloud, an app mints the room and tokens and sends the connection details in the start request's body, in whatever shape it defines. A bot builds these arguments from that body and create_transport takes it from there.
