ddidderr d7827d39f5 fix: reconcile speakers automatically by default
The plain transcribe command still used chunk overlap speaker matching,
so users had to discover a model flag or supply a known speaker count to
get the improved voice comparison behavior.

Enable OpenRouter voice comparison with automatic speaker counting for
normal text and SRT invocations. Keep --speakers and --speaker-model as
optional overrides, and let --no-diarization disable both provider labels
and voice comparison. Make the basic command the documentation entry point
and clarify the defaults in CLI help and repository guidance.

Cover bare invocations across one and multiple uploads, default SRT,
optional count constraints, opt-out ordering, and atomic output when the
default comparison fails.

Test Plan:
- python3 -B -m unittest -v: all 85 tests passed.
- bash -n transcribe: passed.
- git diff --cached --check: passed.
- Tests use real audio encoding with fake provider responses. Live voice
  accuracy remains unverified; no live API request was made for this change.

Repository instructions

Automatic commits are mandatory

  • Automatically commit each completed, validated change before finishing a task. Do not wait for the user to ask for a commit or request confirmation.
  • Keep commits focused. Include the implementation, regression tests, and relevant documentation together; commit independent changes separately.
  • Inspect staged and unstaged changes before committing. Stage only files that belong to the task. Do not commit user recordings, generated transcripts, credentials, or unrelated changes.
  • Use Conventional Commit subjects and explain the change and validation in the commit body, including a Test Plan: section.
  • Run the relevant checks, including python3 -B -m unittest -v, bash -n transcribe for shell changes, and git diff --cached --check. Report any validation that could not be completed; never claim a mocked provider test proves live API behavior.
  • After committing, inspect the commit and working tree, and report the commit hash with any remaining work. Do not push unless requested.

Project layout

  • transcribe: CLI options, audio preparation, and transcription requests.
  • chunks.py: upload boundaries and ordered overlap stitching.
  • subtitles.py: timestamp validation and SRT cue formatting.
  • transcript.py: readable text paragraphs and speaker markers.
  • diarization.py: automatic OpenRouter audio sample comparison and speaker ID reconciliation.
  • test_*.py and tests/fake_provider.py: local regression tests without real credentials or provider requests.

Keep the CLI and its four Python helpers together. Preserve transcript order and emit stdout only after all chunks and output conversion succeed. Provider speaker IDs are request-local; reuse transcript IDs across requests only with supporting overlap or explicit shared-audio comparison evidence. Voice comparison must preserve transcription text and timestamps, validate complete sample assignments, and leave uncertain or conflicting identities separate. Keep chunk details out of the final transcript. Progress, processing details, and errors belong on stderr. The normal command detects the speaker count and reconciles voices automatically; --speakers and --speaker-model are optional overrides. --no-diarization disables both provider diarization and the voice comparison request.
