The rebuild after 1457556 came out byte-identical to the broken file,
which proved the xfade fix never runs for this chapter. An all-cut chapter
goes down the concat demuxer with -c copy, which writes the output in the
FIRST input's time_base and reinterprets every later packet in it. 14 of
49 clips are 30/1 at 1/15360 against 35 at 25/1 at 1/12800, so those 14
play 15360/12800 = 1.2 too long with their audio untouched. collage_cmd
hardcoded -r 30 and yesterday's FPS sweep missed it.
collage_cmd now emits -r FPS, and assemble probes r_frame_rate across the
clips and routes mixed rates through the re-encoding tree. Rebuilt
chapter.mp4 is 364.120s video against 364.122s audio at 25/1, from
436.392 over 363.675.
Also settle the bbox coordinate space, measured over all 113 detections:
47 boxes have x2 past the 900px panel width, none has y2 past 1000 on
panels up to 2307px tall, and the range is exactly [0, 1000]. It is
gemma's normalized grid, not pixels, whatever the prompt asks for.
/vision converts before returning, which fixes identity's crop, the gated
face pairing that was comparing pixel face boxes against grid boxes, the
set-of-mark boxes and the review UI at once. Checked by eye on panel 7:
five of six boxes now land on their subject, including the foreground
character who had no identity.
The registry still holds boxes and embeddings enrolled from the wrong
space. vision and identity have to re-run, which is GPU work and was not
started.

_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/.

Somebody watched chapter.mp4 for the first time. Two failures came out of it
that no stage counter could see.
chapter.mp4 is video 436.39s over audio 363.67s, so narration finishes 72.7s
before the picture. The 49 clips are clean: all 25fps, video and audio agree
to 0.03s, summing to 363.6s. A per-round probe puts the loss in the final
round of _assemble_batched, which turns 359s of video into 100s while the
audio survives. Round 0 is correct. Round 1 differs by holding a 7th input,
the leftover clip that skips encoding, so the tree mixes concat output, xfade
output and a raw clip. Not fixed.
worker_render.py gains an FPS constant, fps normalization in the xfade branch
to match concat, _stream_dur, and a self-check that compares video against
audio instead of asserting the file is non-empty. That old check is how a 20%
sync failure shipped. The fps inconsistency is real but not proven to be the
shipped cause. Pinning -r on the output was tried and reverted: it drops
frames to force CFR, which the concat branch comment already warned about.
Panel 7 checked against the art has zero correct identity bindings out of two,
and Seonho, the one character who matters, is unbound. bbox values are
consumed as absolute pixels; on a 900x1650 panel that puts all six boxes in
the top third, two inside a speech balloon. Identity therefore embeds crops of
balloon edges and window frames, which is how confidence 0.9 lands on the
wrong person. The colleague has no name in the story and was labelled Choi
Haeseon; that row holds 25 of 26 assignments, so it is the label the pipeline
stamps on any unnamed woman.
Four caveats added. Two earlier claims are withdrawn in place: rescaling bbox
by 1000 does not make the boxes correct, and the constraint is not 16 nameless
rows needing names. Cast profiles already exist, since all 53 rows populate
ref_image_uris and embedding_uri, but they are enrolled from the wrong crops.
worker_render.py self-check passes. No pipeline ran.

The run completed: chapter.mp4 at 50MiB from 49 clips. layers reported
completed 116/116 with an empty bucket, so nothing has parallax, and the completed
job still carries the error string from a failure three resumes earlier. Both
recorded as caveats, neither fixed.

Adds decision entries for the unpaired set-of-mark label, the interjection
verifier false positive, and the vision-blob clearing bug, plus the per-run
speaker audit script used to measure the chapter.

_annotate_speaker_methods stamped `tail`, the highest-trust provenance, on any
line whose speaker matched a present local_id, at gemma's confidence of 1.0. No
balloon was read. Three of three sampled two-character panels had the speakers
swapped, so a multi-character guess is now dropped to unknown, and a solo-panel
guess is kept as model_solo at 0.7.

The baseline run died in `script` at 87/116. Every lost beat cites
`unsupported-proper-noun: ['Choi', 'Haeseon']`, because verify_script puts the
full name in the allowed set and then tests single capitalized tokens against
it. No fix applied.

Panels, wavs, layers, clips, and the chapter mp4 leave the `manga` bucket for
`panels`, `audio`, `layers`, and `video`. The key under the bucket is unchanged,
so every reader that derives the bucket from the first path segment keeps
working. The orchestrator half moves in the same commit, per invariant 7.
The 2026-08-11 chapter run proves the split for `raw` and `panels` and produced
the first quality read on speaker attribution, which is wrong in every sampled
multi-character panel.

#117 done: stowage was dead on an arm64 digest pin, not a MinIO fault.
#116 staged: rustfs runs on 9010/9011, buckets not mirrored, no cutover.
Also logs the ISP port 80/443 interception that made three external
reachability measurements worthless, so the next session does not repeat them.

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.
