Found by comparing the first real one-hour transcript against pianissimo:
whisper.cpp wraps at ~60 chars and can wrap INSIDE a word. The continuation
segment has no leading space, the text field joins segments with newlines, and
a segment can be a lone '.'. Measured 2026-10-01: 7% of segments (96/1332) in a
synthetic hour, 42/1302 lines in the real one. My earlier tests used short
sentences and could not see it. berget's segments are whole sentences with no
leading space, so the two backends need different joins.
Red: Text still joins by newline.

The httptest fake proves only what we THINK the gateway accepts. Skipped
unless TAPIR_LIVE_WAV and TAPIR_LIVE_GATEWAY_URL are set. Run once on
2026-10-01 with 11 min of synthetic Swedish (21 MB, above the 8-10 MB ingress
cap, via the NodePort): both iguana/kb-whisper (52.8 s) and berget/kb-whisper
(35.4 s) accepted the streamed, computed-Content-Length body and returned
usable verbose_json. Synthetic audio only; this repo is public.

Streams the WAV from disk with a computed Content-Length (no buffering, no
chunking), posts verbose_json with field `file` and language=sv, clamps the
final segment to the audio duration, and treats an empty transcript as a
failure. The chain falls back on ANY primary error, records the serving
endpoint, and never falls back once the context is cancelled.
gateway.go and chain.go are one commit: the chain's tests use the gateway's
StatusError and ErrEmptyTranscript, so neither compiles alone.
Mutation-checked: field name, clamp, cancel-fallback, content length and the
recorded endpoint each turn a test red.

Gateway: field is `file`, no Expect header, a computed Content-Length (not
chunked, not buffered -- a 90 min WAV is ~170 MB), verbose_json normalised
with the last segment clamped to the audio duration, errors independent of
the body, an empty transcript is a failure. Chain: ANY primary failure falls
back and the row records the fallback endpoint; a cancelled job never falls
back to the cloud.
Red: package transcribe does not exist.
