"""R1 probe — Deepgram Nova-3 streaming ASR first-partial-transcript latency.
Per PLAN.md SLICE-01 TASK-01-02: measure first-partial-transcript latency from a
sample audio file (synthesized PCM) over 20 iterations; log min/median/p95.
Exit code 0 in all cases:
- If DEEPGRAM_API_KEY is missing, print a clear KEY_MISSING banner and exit 0
(the probe infrastructure is the deliverable; live numbers come when keys
are provisioned).
- If the key is present, run the live probe and print a latency table.
Usage:
python scripts/probe_deepgram.py [--iterations N] [--model nova-3]
