Render transcript-wide speaker numbers instead of exposing upload chunks in
reader-facing headers. Reconcile adjacent requests using at least two
unambiguous word-and-time matches in their shared audio, including when
provider speaker IDs change between requests. Reject conflicting mappings
and never treat matching numeric provider IDs as identity evidence.
Assign fresh IDs where continuity cannot be established and report that
uncertainty on stderr. Number only speakers retained after overlap trimming.
Document that overlap matching cannot identify a returning speaker who was
absent from the overlap, and add the reader-facing boundary to AGENTS.md.
Test Plan:
- python3 -B -m unittest -v: all 46 tests passed, including swapped IDs,
ambiguous evidence, continuity across three requests, and plain headers.
- git diff --cached --check: passed.
- Tests use synthetic speaker labels; live diarization accuracy was not
verified because provider credentials are unavailable in this environment.
Sending entire recordings in one request can exceed provider limits.
Decode audio once to a shared PCM sample clock and split uploads at a
configurable maximum of 1 to 30 minutes, defaulting to 30 minutes.
Prefer nearby pauses and include six seconds of overlap to protect words
at audio cuts while keeping each encoded MP3 within the duration cap.
Request word timestamps for chunked text and SRT output. Match overlapping
words and times to retain each passage once, warn when a join falls back
to timestamps, and generate SRT cues on the original recording timeline.
Reuse subtitle timestamp validation without reordering regressing words.
Only emit output after every request and conversion succeeds.
Document the Python dependency, temporary storage, boundary limitations,
and lack of automatic retry or resume. Keep single-request text formatting.
Test Plan:
- python3 -B -m unittest -v: all 29 tests passed, including mocked provider
failures, native MP3 payload checks, boundary stitching, and SRT timing.
- bash -n transcribe and shellcheck transcribe: passed.
- git diff --cached --check: passed.
- Locally decoded and encoded the supplied 74-minute WebM into three MP3
chunks; ffprobe confirmed each duration was below 30 minutes.
- Live transcription was not verified: the configured 1Password credential
was unavailable.
