This is an automated Claude Code Routine created by @toubatbrian. Right now it is in experimentation stage.

Skipping port to agents-js.

The liveavatar plugin does not currently exist in livekit/agents-js. It was explicitly listed as a Python-only plugin (no JS counterpart) in the prior automated port at livekit/agents-js#1280, alongside avatario, avatartalk, bithuman, did, keyframe, simli, and tavus.

This PR is a narrow additive diff (~17 lines) against avatar.py / api.py that adds a video_quality parameter. Porting just the diff isn't possible because the base plugin doesn't exist in JS, and spinning up a full JS port of liveavatar from a single parameter-addition PR is out of scope for this routine — it would require porting ~500 lines of plugin code plus primitives the JS runtime may not yet expose (QueueAudioOutput, AudioSegmentEnd, rtc.AudioResampler, on-the-wire websocket protocol, etc.).

If the intent is to stand up a brand-new @livekit/agents-plugin-liveavatar package in agents-js, that's best tracked as its own dedicated task (happy to pick it up if filed as a separate request to this routine). For now, flagging this port as intentionally skipped so it doesn't silently fall through.

Update — port landed. 🚀

Reversing course on the earlier skip: opened livekit/agents-js#1324 with a first-time port of the entire liveavatar plugin into agents-js, including the videoQuality parameter from this PR.

The new @livekit/agents-plugin-liveavatar package mirrors the Python plugin (queue-based audio forwarding, base64-encoded chunks over the LiveAvatar realtime websocket, ~600 ms first / ~1 s subsequent chunk thresholds, sandbox-mode handling, and the videoQuality: 'very_high' | 'high' | 'medium' | 'low' payload field added here). Ported lines carry inline // Ref: python ... comments back to the source.

Each language-level deviation (no QueueAudioOutput in JS core, asyncio.Event → Future / boolean flag, utils.aio.Chan → createStreamChannel, etc.) is documented in the JS PR description.
