add logged frame

[tzookb]

Summary

This PR addresses two critical issues in the Pipecat DailyTransport:

1. Original Issue: Logged Frame on Failed (Initial commit)

When frames fail to send, we now log which specific frame failed, making debugging easier.

2. New Fix: Race Condition in DailyTransport.send_message()

The transport had a race condition where send_message() and send_prebuilt_chat_message() would immediately reject messages if the join operation hadn't completed yet, causing production failures under load.

Changes Made

Core Fixes (src/pipecat/transports/daily/transport.py)

1. Updated send_message() method (lines 559-592)

   • Added wait with 10-second timeout for _joined_event instead of immediate rejection
   • Returns descriptive timeout error if join takes too long
   • Includes safety check after wait to ensure transport is still connected

2. Updated send_prebuilt_chat_message() method (lines 1050-1077)

   • Applied the same wait-with-timeout pattern as send_message()
   • Prevents race condition during concurrent join operations

3. Fixed join() error path (lines 777-783)

   • Sets _joined_event even on join failure
   • Prevents infinite hangs for callers waiting on the event

Test Coverage (tests/test_daily_transport_service.py)

Added comprehensive unit tests:

• test_send_message_waits_for_join: Verifies messages wait for join to complete
• test_send_message_already_joined: Confirms immediate send when already joined
• test_send_message_disconnects_during_wait: Tests error handling on disconnect
• test_send_message_timeout_if_join_slow: Validates timeout behavior (10s test)

All tests pass successfully.

How It Works

Before: Messages were rejected immediately if not joined

Pipeline starts → send_message() called → Error: "Unable to send messages before joining"

After: Messages wait for join to complete with timeout

Pipeline starts → send_message() called → Wait for _joined_event (up to 10s) → Send succeeds

Edge Cases Handled

Scenario	Behavior
Already joined	Returns immediately (no wait)
Join in progress	Waits up to 10 seconds
Join fails	Timeout + descriptive error
Transport leaves during wait	Caught by post-wait check

Impact

• ✅ Eliminates race condition errors in production
• ✅ Graceful handling of slow joins
• ✅ Prevents infinite hangs on join failures
• ✅ No API changes - fully backward compatible
• ✅ Minimal performance impact (async wait logic)
