## Summary

Voice simulations can now fail when the assistant responds too slowly. The feature shipped in VapiAI/vapi#21959 (API and worker), VapiAI/vapi#21962 (run results) and VapiAI/vapi#21963 (editor), tracked in TEST-140. The API reference already shows the new `latencyExpectations` and `latencyEvaluations` fields through the nightly spec update; this PR covers the guides.

- **Simulations advanced**: new **Set latency limits** section and card:
  - Dashboard and cURL setup;
  - the `turn`, `model` and `voice` metrics and the four aggregations, including that `p95` equals `max` under 20 turns;
  - required versus optional limits;
  - when limits are skipped (chat mode, GPT-Live assistants under test) and that a voice run with no measured turns fails;
  - reading results in the run details and through `results.latencyEvaluations`;
  - two troubleshooting rows.
- **Simulations overview**: the scenario definition, the "how it works" paragraph and the Evals comparison table now mention latency limits next to structured outputs.
- **Manage simulations**: run results mention latency results and `latencyEvaluations`, "Design evaluations" points to latency limits, and the voice-or-chat table gains a "Gate on response latency" row.
- **GPT-Live testing**: notes that latency limits are skipped when the assistant under test uses GPT-Live.

Every behavior described was checked against the merged code: field names, the default of a required median turn latency of 1,200 ms, the 1 to 60,000 ms range, the 20-limit maximum and the skip rules.

## Not included

A "What's new" changelog entry. The weekly changelog files look curated by one author (e.g. #1280), so I left the entry to the next weekly post. Happy to add it here instead.

## Testing

`fern check` with the pinned CLI 5.112.0 (`node scripts/fern/run.cjs check`): 0 errors. The 14 warnings are pre-existing discriminator warnings in the API spec. The preview link from CI is the place to check rendering.
