[Limitless Pendant] Backlog-synced conversations split into chunks, ignoring Conversation Timeout setting

[omi-discord-vector]

Summary

When the Limitless Pendant reconnects after a disconnect, backlog audio is batch-synced in discrete chunks (often 1–3 min each). These chunks are saved as separate conversations even when separated by only seconds — ignoring the Conversation Timeout setting (e.g. 10 minutes).

This does not occur when the pendant stays connected throughout a conversation.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use Omi with a Limitless Pendant
2. Allow the pendant to disconnect (drops happen often per the reporter)
3. Reconnect — pendant uploads a backlog of audio
4. Observe: multiple short conversations appear, each a few seconds apart, instead of being merged

Expected Behavior

Chunks separated by less than the configured Conversation Timeout should be automatically merged into a single conversation, whether synced live or in batch.

Actual Behavior

Each audio chunk becomes a separate conversation entry, regardless of the timeout setting.

Impact

• Cluttered Conversations list
• Users must manually merge conversations (wastes user time)
• Manual merge triggers reprocessing (wastes server compute)

Classification

Both a bug (timeout setting not respected for batch sync) and a feature gap (no auto-merge for backlogged audio).

Environment

• App: Omi AI 1.0.531 (812)
• Device: iPhone
• OS: iOS 26.4
• Third-party device: Limitless Pendant
