### Agents Platform

- **Agent summaries endpoint**: Added `GET /v1/convai/agents/summaries` endpoint for retrieving lightweight summaries of all agents in your workspace. This is useful for building agent selection interfaces without fetching full agent configurations.
- **Delete batch calls**: Added `DELETE /v1/convai/batch-calling/{batch_id}` endpoint for removing batch call jobs that are no longer needed.
- **Branch filtering for conversations**: Added optional `branch_id` query parameter to conversation endpoints including `GET /v1/convai/conversation/get-signed-url`, `GET /v1/convai/conversation/token`, and `GET /v1/convai/conversations` for filtering conversations by agent version branch.
- **Spelling patience configuration**: Added `spelling_patience` setting to turn configuration with values `auto`, `low`, `medium`, and `high`. Controls how long the agent waits before assuming the user has finished spelling something out character by character.
- **Custom SIP headers for transfers**: Added support for custom SIP headers when transferring calls via REFER. Configure `custom_sip_headers` arrays on phone number transfer configurations and workflow phone nodes for advanced telephony integrations.
- **WhatsApp accounts on agents**: Agent responses now include `whatsapp_accounts` array for viewing connected WhatsApp Business accounts.
- **Zendesk integration support**: Added `zendesk_integration` to the `ConversationInitiationSource` enum for conversations initiated through Zendesk.

### Audio Output Formats

- **Expanded format options**: Audio generation endpoints now support additional output formats including WAV family variants, new OPUS bitrate options, `alaw_8000` for telephony, and `ultra_lossless` quality preset. This applies to Text-to-Speech, Text-to-Dialogue, Sound Generation, Music, and Voice Design endpoints.

### Dubbing

- **Expanded status values**: Dubbing project status now includes additional states for more granular tracking of dubbing progress.
- **Source language**: The `source_language` field is now always returned when fetching a dub's metadata.
