(feat) configurable timestamp options for audio-to-text

[eliteprox]

What does this pull request do? Explain your changes. (required)

This change adds the return_timestamps parameter to the audio-to-text pipeline, allowing end-users to configure the inference job to return timestamps at word-level, sentence-level or no timestamps at all.

Supported values for return_timestamps are false and word. The pipeline defaults to existing behavior of sentence-level timestamp transcription to avoid breaking changes with existing applications.

Specific updates (required)

• This change only updates the go.mod references for ai-worker. See (feat) add return_timestamps as configurable in request ai-worker#228

How did you test each of these updates (required)

sentence-level timestamps

• Sent request without return_timestamps parameter to verify inference job still defaults to sentence-level timestamps
  sentence-timestamps.json

curl -X POST "https://<GATEWAY_IP>/audio-to-text" \
    -F model_id=openai/whisper-large-v3 \
    -F audio=@<PATH_TO_FILE> \

word-level timestamps

• Sent request with return_timestamps=word to validate timestamps are returned at word-level
  word-timestamps.json

curl -X POST "https://<GATEWAY_IP>/audio-to-text" \
    -F model_id=openai/whisper-large-v3 \
    -F audio=@<PATH_TO_FILE> \
    -F return_timestamps="word"

no timestamps

• Sent request with return_timestamps=false to validate timestamps are excluded
  no-timestamps.json

curl -X POST "https://<GATEWAY_IP>/audio-to-text" \
    -F model_id=openai/whisper-large-v3 \
    -F audio=@<PATH_TO_FILE> \
    -F return_timestamps="false"
