Continue, Adapt, or Yield: In-Turn Adaptation to Overlapping Speech in Full-Duplex Agents

That binary cannot express a third response humans use routinely: continuing to speak while incorporating what the listener just contributed. The contribution may be a missing word, a correction or a clarification. We introduce Duplex Cue, an evaluation of this \emph{in-turn adaptation} in full-duplex voice agents. Duplex Cue separates listener intent (backchannel, co
