The inactivity timeout is hardcoded. It's better to make this value configurable via an environment variable. This allows for easier adjustments in different environments (development, staging, production) or for future tuning without requiring a code change and redeployment. This is consistent with how other timeouts and configuration values are handled in the codebase (e.g., in backend/utils/other/timeout.py).

Suggested change
inactivity_timeout_seconds = 90
inactivity_timeout_seconds = int(os.getenv("STT_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS", 90))

last_audio_received_time = None
