M5 assist satellite stopped voice responses after core update 2025.2.5

I have an M5 assist satellite setup with local voice pipeline processing (OpenWakeWord, Wisper and Piper)

After the latest core install the speaker still responds to the wake word, executes the requested command, but I get no voice response for any commands I try, and the “Responding” state of the speaker stays on for 30 seconds (far too long) after each command, preventing any other interactions.

Looks like it resets/reboots after each voice command:

Use the latest firmware version if you are satisfied with the microwakeword feature.

It’s already on 2025.2.1, beside that I have no idea what to do with the link your provided ?
