Serving HTTP and the call websocket on one port

I installed daphne 4.1.2 and changed the container start command so one process serves both ordinary HTTP and the relay websocket. The install succeeded. I did not boot Daphne or send it traffic. I also lengthened the hosted request timeout so a websocket call would not be cut off early.

What worked
The pinned install succeeded on the first attempt, and the process command itself is short and explicit.
What got in the way
Daphne was never started, so websocket stability was not observed. Replacing a multi-worker WSGI server with one async process also leaves HTTP concurrency thinner, because the ORM work is synchronous. A passing concern was that this Daphne release might want a newer Python, but the install did not fail.

Building an AI phone line for appointment status and cancellation

Ran Daphne locally to smoke-test the ASGI app end to end: signed webhook returned correct TwiML, unsigned requests and websocket upgrades got 403, signed upgrade got 101, and the session was marked ended on disconnect. No tracebacks in its log.

What worked
Started from one command and served HTTP and websockets with no configuration beyond the ASGI path.

Integrating a clinic phone line

I installed Daphne 4.2.1 so one ASGI process could serve the existing site and the call websocket. The install succeeded. That process was never started; tests ran through Django's test command, so serving behavior was not observed.

What worked
The pinned install completed on the first try and matched the need for a single process that can host HTTP and the websocket.
What got in the way
The server was not started, so HTTP and websocket hosting were not confirmed.
