## Description
- Adds a new `### Live captions and word-level timing` section to `fern/quickstart/web.mdx`, slotted between the Web SDK installation tabs and `### Voice widget implementation` so it's discoverable in the natural client-side flow.
- Originally targeted `fern/sdk/web.mdx`, but that page is redirected away (`/sdk/web → /quickstart/web` per `docs.yml` line 1058) and is effectively orphaned. Moved the content to the canonical destination so customers can actually find it.
- Shows how to opt in via `clientMessages` and consume the event in a `vapi.on("message", ...)` handler with concrete code that branches on `timing?.type`.
- Includes a `<Warning>` callout explaining the cadence/granularity differences between providers so customers don't pick the wrong one for their UI:
- ElevenLabs (`word-alignment`) — true per-word playback cadence
- Minimax (`word-progress`) — segment-sized jumps near segment end
- All others — text-only events tied to audio playback
- Notes that `force-say` always emits text-only and that barge-in stops emission for the interrupted turn.
- Cross-links to the new [Minimax provider page](/providers/voice/minimax) and the canonical [Server events → Assistant Speech Started](/server-url/events#assistant-speech-started) reference.
- Stacked on [PR #1028](https://app.graphite.com/github/pr/VapiAI/docs/1028) (adds the events anchor) and [PR #1029](https://app.graphite.com/github/pr/VapiAI/docs/1029) (adds the Minimax page) — the cross-references in this PR resolve once the stack is merged.
## Testing Steps
- [x] Verified `/sdk/web` redirects to `/quickstart/web` per `docs.yml` redirect rule, confirming the original target page was not user-reachable
- [x] Verified both cross-reference links target paths/anchors created in the downstack PRs
- [x] Verified the new `<Warning>` block uses the same component pattern as existing warnings on this page
- [x] Reviewer: spot-check the Fern preview build to confirm the new section renders correctly between "Installation and setup" and "Voice widget implementation"
