vapi.send with 'add-message' interrupts assistant response

[naveengovind]

When using vapi.send with type: 'add-message' to send system messages about user activity while the assistant is speaking, it interrupts the assistant's response and triggers a new response.

vapi.send({
  type: 'add-message',
  message: {
    role: 'system',
    content: 'The user moved to the second page.',
  },
});

This behavior seems to conflict with the documentation for Background Messaging which states it should be "Non-intrusive user experience enhancements through additional information provision."

Is this the intended behavior for background messaging, or is there a different approach to send system messages non-intrusively while the assistant is responding?
