CRITICAL: continuum-core memory leak — 3.2GB RSS, OOM crash on refresh

[joelteply]

Problem

Rust worker (continuum-core-server) leaks memory until OOM crash. After ~30 minutes of use, RSS hits 3.2GB+. Browser refresh triggers additional allocations that kill the process. All IPC operations fail after crash.

Evidence

[MEMLEAK] RSS=3263MB
Top leakers: ai/generate:+25GB, data/query:+22GB, data/create:+17GB, data/read:+7GB

Impact

• Browser refresh kills the system
• Long sessions eventually crash
• All data operations fail when Rust worker dies
• Live mode STT dies with it

Likely Causes

• ai/generate responses not being freed after completion
• data/query results accumulating without cleanup
• voice/speak-in-call audio buffers not released (+3.8GB leaked)

• Live mode: no speech-to-text subtitles from human mic #599 (STT issues — partially caused by this)
