Microphone modes: open mic vs push-to-talk

Choose between open mic and push-to-talk during a roleplay session.

During a roleplay session, the learner opens device settings (the gear/settings control in the session UI) and picks the microphone mode: open mic (default — the character hears continuously) or push-to-talk (hold to speak; gives unlimited thinking time). The choice is remembered per user in that browser. Admins can make push-to-talk the default for a scenario from the roleplay editor's settings.
