Live mode still has a kill switch

This demo shows Relay switching from quiet queueing to live playback, then using mute as the safety override.

# Relay live mode demo

Live mode is for moments when I want agent updates as they happen. Mute is still one command away, so I can stop playback without losing the queue.
