A mute button on both call surfaces (full-screen call and floating
popout) that pauses everything going to the assistant while keeping the
call alive — for stepping away to talk to someone in the room without
ending and restarting the call.
- Mic audio stops reaching Deepgram (user mute OR'd into the existing
thinking/speaking setPaused; KeepAlives keep the socket warm so
unmute is instant)
- Camera/screen frames stop being sampled (new setCapturePaused in
useVideoMode); collectFrames() returns nothing while muted, so typed
messages during a mute carry no frames either
- Devices stay acquired for instant resume; mute resets at call
start/end; assistant output is unaffected (Stop handles that)
- Honest UI: "Muted" status chip replaces the green "Listening" pulse,
muted badge on the user tile, pill's share badge flips to "Sharing
paused"; new toggle-mic popout action + micMuted in popout state
