Pull request overview
This PR adds tracking support for OpenAI audio transcriptions via a new $ai_transcription event. The implementation follows the existing pattern used for embeddings, treating audio-to-text as a distinct operation from text-to-text transformations.
- Introduces
WrappedAudioandWrappedTranscriptionsclasses for both sync and async OpenAI clients - Captures transcription metadata including model, input file name, output text, latency, and optional properties like language and audio duration
- Supports privacy mode, groups, and custom properties consistent with other AI tracking features

This adds support for tracking transcriptions from OpenAI. It does this via a new event
$ai_transcriptionwhich follows the pattern of embeddings. I figure that audio -> text Is different enough from text-to-text to deserve its own event.Confirmed it worked in my own testing.
