_xfade_chain positioned every transition using _audio_dur, which probes
format=duration, which is max(video, audio). A clip's audio outlasts its
video by about a frame, so the offset accumulator crept ahead of the real
picture timeline. Once the creep exceeded the transition width, xfade
emitted the transition and silently discarded the second input and every
clip downstream, exiting 0 with nothing on stderr. That is the whole of
the shipped chapter's 436.39s of video over 363.67s of audio.
Offsets now come from min(video, audio). Every input is floored to a
whole frame count and trimmed on both streams, so the accumulator tracks
the real timeline instead of estimating it. _check_assembled verifies
each encode against the predicted length and against its own audio,
because both assembly branches drop stream time without failing.
Verified over the 49 real clips of chapter 7c944dd4: the round that
turned 359s of video into 100s now loses 0.85s, and the chapter comes out
358.76s video against 358.76s audio.
The single-item passthrough was not the cause. Two round-0 groups of 8
fresh clips collapse without one, recorded void in decisions/.

Implements every P0 from AUDIT.md plus four P1s, across both halves of the
pipeline. Verified by CPU-only self-checks and the orchestrator test suite.
No GPU work ran and no pipeline ran.
workpc:
- worker_scene: read speaker_ref, not the rewritten speaker field. Every line
narrated as "Someone" before this. Emit `actions` for the verifier.
- worker_script: declare beat + verifier_feedback (pydantic dropped both, so
the retry was blind) and render them as a repair prompt.
- worker_vision: gate face->identity pairing on containment, assign globally
shortest-first, map an out-of-range resolver index to `unresolved` instead
of minting a character, parse JSON with raw_decode.
- session_manager: tear down a server whose lease vanished mid-load, and spawn
the supervisor respawn unlocked.
orchestrator (edited in place, NOT committed there):
- tracklets: canonicalize gender, add co-presence cannot-links, block
transitive bridges across a hard constraint.
- correctness: stop failing valid narration on sentence-initial capitals and
short quotes; read action evidence from the singular key.
- db: stop orphan flags leaking into every chapter; resolve by flag id.
- service: TTS returns instead of raising under GATES, auto-resolves under
autonomous mode; job admission control; registry names on dialogue resume.
- session_proxy: queue on 409 instead of stealing the lease; run heartbeats.
Docs restructured per the repo-structure layout: CLAUDE.md is a pointer table,
NEXT.md replaces HANDOFF.md, plus ROADMAP.md, JOURNAL.md, decisions/ and
caveats/. AUDIT.md now points at those instead of restating them.

Working tree (including .git) was lost to an rm. Rebuilt by replaying Write/Edit/
Read/attachment events from 25 Claude sessions and 22 successful codex apply_patch
blocks into one timestamp-ordered timeline.
Verified against ground truth recorded in the transcripts: wc -l on 10 files and
ls -l on 5 files at 2026-07-18T13:13:44Z both match exactly; 18 files are
byte-identical to their newest ~/.claude/file-history blob.
See HANDOFF.md for sources, gaps, and how to rebuild .venv.
