Merge pull request 'v0.32.0: per-recording delete and nav link, cloud-served note, tracker hardening, bounded LLM reads (#37 #51 #52 #53)' (#58) from sprint/v032 into main

Skipping 'by', 'reconciled' and '+' as words everywhere let an alias with one of those
names pass as local. The two-engine shape is now split on its own separators and each alias
judged whole; a reconciler that is not local is pinned too. Hardening suggested by the third
PR #58 review.

+# Build an OCI image with buildctl and push it to the local registry.
+#
+# CANONICAL COPY: mathias/infra ci-templates/build-image.sh (infra#309).
+# Every repo carries a byte-identical copy at .gitea/build-image.sh, written by
+# `task ci:sync` and held in place by the drift gate. DO NOT EDIT THE COPIES --
+# edit here, re-sync, and the gate will tell you which repos still disagree.
+#
+# Why this exists: this step was hand-copied into a dozen repos, so migrating it
+# off rootless buildah (infra#241) meant eleven near-identical commits, eleven
+# verifications, and three separate rediscoveries of the same fix in the two
+# repo templates and the gitea-ci skill. The differences between the copies were
+# incidental -- a label here, a build-arg there -- never intentional. Those are
+# inputs now, not forks of the implementation.
+#
+# Why buildctl and not buildah: the gitea-runner pod runs with
+# `capabilities: drop [ALL]` and `allowPrivilegeEscalation: false`, which
+# unconditionally blocks the setuid-root exec that rootless buildah's uid/gid
+# remapping needs, and the pod has no OCI runtime at all. buildctl is a thin
+# client -- it hands the build to the host's buildkitd over a socket, so the
+# privileged layer work happens on the host and this pod's securityContext is
+# not in the picture. buildah is absent from the runner image as of baked-v14
+# and its absence is asserted at pod start (infra#308).

+#   VERSION_TAG      optional extra tag, e.g. v1.2.3 on a tag build
+#   PUSH_LATEST      default 1; set 0 to skip the :latest tag
+#   CONTEXT          default . -- build context directory
+#   DOCKERFILE_DIR   default $CONTEXT -- directory holding the Dockerfile
+#   DOCKERFILE_NAME  optional, when the file is not named `Dockerfile`
+#   TARGET           optional, multi-stage build target (--opt target=)

-  Primary→Fallback per ADR-004), `store` (Postgres, golang-migrate migrations 001–006),

+  parse-failure-aware, ADR-004 + ADR-022), `store` (Postgres, golang-migrate migrations 001–019),
   `secrets` (file-backed `SecretStore`). The brain HTTP sink (ADR-005) is the remaining
   optional sink.
 - Stage 1 is open (ADR-012): multi-user with **DB-enforced** isolation — Postgres RLS `FORCE`d
   on all user-owned tables (migration 003), two-user isolation test in
   `internal/adapters/store/rls_test.go`. Registration gate, per-user YouTube web connect, and
   account management (disconnect / delete, ADR-013) all shipped.
+- Transcript persistence (ADR-021, migration 015): transcripts are a **shared, non-RLS** store
+  keyed by `(provider, provider_video_id)` — the single exception to the isolation boundary
+  (`TestTranscriptsTableIsSharedNotRLS`). The engine reads stored transcripts before any caption
+  fetch (`usecase.resolveTranscript`), so re-analysis — re-summarize, paste-a-URL, onboarding
+  burst — never re-touches YouTube. Per-user summaries/videos stay RLS-scoped.
+- Audio upload (ADR-033, migration 017): `internal/uploads` (validation by **probing**, intake,
+  one-at-a-time in-process worker), `internal/adapters/audio` (ffprobe/ffmpeg), and
+  `internal/adapters/transcribe` (gateway client + iguana→berget chain). Transcripts are private
+  in `uploaded_transcripts`; the audio is never retained; chat reuses `chat.Service`. The
+  isolation test pins the **exact set** of non-RLS tables (`TestRowSecurityOffTablesAreExactlyTheKnownSet`).
+  The runtime image does not yet contain ffmpeg — that is a pending decision recorded in ADR-033.
+  Two-engine reconciliation (ADR-034, migration 019, off unless `TAPIR_RECONCILE_BASE_MODEL`):
+  `internal/reconcile` (word diff, disputes, a local-model adjudicator) and
+  `transcribe.Ensemble`; every model must be a local alias, enforced at start-up.
+  Progress and logging (ADR-035, migration 020): `internal/progress.Tracker` is the ONE writer of a
+  job's phases (saved to the row for the page, logged by the same call); engines and the reconciler
+  report through `progress.From(ctx)`, so `uploads.Transcriber` is unchanged, and a transcriber may
+  implement `uploads.Planner` to declare its own phases. The page tells running / quiet / lost from
+  two timestamps (`alive_at` heartbeat vs `progress_at`) and never shows a percentage that does not
+  come from real counts. **Nothing logged may carry transcript text, words from it, or the spool path.**
+  Errors reach a log, a row or a page as `errkind.Of(err)` (a kind such as `timeout` or `http_502`),
+  never `err.Error()`: error text can hold a provider's response body, the spool path or transcript
+  words (ADR-035 decision 8). Local-only for anything that carries transcript text: `config.IsLocalModel`.
+  `TAPIR_SHOT_DIR=… go test -run TestRenderUploadProgressStatesForReview ./internal/web` renders every
+  state for a screenshot review.
+  **Lint caveat:** `task check` does not fail on lint (#41: the Taskfile `|| echo` swallows
+  findings) — run `golangci-lint run ./...` yourself until that is fixed.
 - `cmd/tapir` subcommands: `list`, `show`, `auth` (interactive host-side OAuth), `run` (batch
   watch→summarize), `serve` (the HTMX+Templ web reader/writer under `internal/web`, a new
   transport over the unchanged engine/ports — ADR-003). `tapir env` prints config.

+  organic or prompted by a nudge is not captured by any data Tapir holds (it's context only
+  the maintainer has). Rather than waive the standard, we name the gap: *unprompted* return
+  is the signal we genuinely want; *returns* (prompted or not) is what the data can show. A
+  return that needed a nudge is a weaker signal than one that didn't, and the result is read
+  with that in mind. If distinguishing them ever matters enough, the maintainer tracks nudges
+  manually or a future build records prompt events — neither is in scope now.
 - **Why "me OR a friend".** This replaces the original "useful to *me*, specifically" gate
   (2026-06-03 decision, recorded in DECISIONS.md ADR-016). Getting signal from friendly
   users is valuable enough to count — but the bar stays behavioural so it can't be cleared
   by a polite reaction. (Ties to the 2026-07-01 check-in.)
+- **How it's measured.** Return usage is read from two sources: `summary_actions` (timestamped
+  watch/skip/save per user) answers "acted in ≥2 distinct weeks"; an append-only login-events
+  table (see infra/Tapir build) answers "returned/read in ≥2 distinct weeks" even without an
+  action click — the honest signal for a *reading* product. Login events accrue only from their
+  deploy date onward, so the gate window's data begins then.
+- **Gate-clock reset (ADR-018).** The 3–4 week window starts when in-process scheduled discovery
+  + auto-summarize ship — before that, unprompted use was impossible, so the prior window
+  measured nothing (this is starting the clock when the experiment can actually run, not a reset
+  to dodge a failing gate). The 2026-07-01 check-in referenced above moves accordingly to ~3–4
+  weeks after this deploys. See DECISIONS.md ADR-018.
 - **This is the gate.** Hardening (Stage 1) and any SaaS ambition stay deferred until this
   behavioural signal exists. Note: multi-user machinery was deliberately built *ahead* of

+
+`cmdServe` launches a background goroutine when `TAPIR_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL > 0`. On each tick
+it calls `store.ListAllUsers` (un-RLS'd admin query), builds a per-user `runner.Runner`, and
+calls `RunOnce` for each registered user in sequence.

+
+**Single-replica constraint (load-bearing).** The scheduler lives in the web process;
+`replicas: 1` in the k3s deployment manifest is not cosmetic — running `tapir serve` at
+>1 replica makes every replica run the full discovery loop, causing every registered user
+to be fetched in parallel from the same egress IP (429s + duplicate work). Do not scale
+`serve` past 1 replica without first moving discovery to a k8s CronJob or adding leader
+election. The process logs a `Warn` at startup when scheduled discovery is enabled as a
+reminder.
+
+---
+
+## Process-wide timedtext rate gate
+
+**`internal/adapters/youtube/gate.go`** (ADR-014 item 2): a single `rate.Limiter`
+(`golang.org/x/time/rate`) shared across **all** Adapter instances. Every `httpDo` call for
+a caption fetch passes through `WaitFetchGate(ctx)` before hitting YouTube. This serialises
+the scheduler loop AND the web click-path through the same per-egress-IP budget. Configured
+via `TAPIR_FETCH_RATE` (Go duration, default `2s`). Setting it to `0` disables the gate
+(dev/tests only).
+
+This is the precondition that makes scheduled auto-summarize safe: without the gate, a
+multi-user scheduler pass could fire many concurrent timedtext requests from the same IP
+within seconds, triggering 429s for all users.
+
+### Two-path summarisation model
+
+Both paths share `globalFetchGate` — rate limiting is **respected in both**, not routed around.

+| **Foreground** | User clicks "Summarize" on any non-summarized card (`POST /v/{id}/retry-now` for rate-limited; `POST /v/{id}/summarize` for pending) | Single chosen video | On-demand value: user picks a specific video to read now — bypasses the recency bound |
+| **Background batch** | Scheduled discovery pass every `TAPIR_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL` | **Newest-first across all channels** (see below), **bounded to the recency window** (ADR-020) | Onboarding prioritisation within bounded load: recent videos auto-fill; the older back-catalogue stays on-demand |
+
+The rationale for both paths is **onboarding prioritisation under an honest, bounded load** — a
+new user gets summaries of their most recent videos automatically, while the older back-catalogue
+is listed but summarised only on demand, so it never re-drives the shared rate gate every cycle.
+
+### Newest-first batch ordering (ADR-018)
+
+Within each scheduled pass, `RunOnce` uses a three-phase structure:
+
+1. **Discover + persist**: walk all channels, `UpsertVideo` every candidate (so it appears in
+   the list), apply pre-filters (seen/manual/backoff/**recency**), collect surviving candidates.
+   The recency pre-filter (ADR-020) drops auto-mode videos published before
+   `now - TAPIR_AUTO_SUMMARIZE_WINDOW` unless they are explicitly requested; an undated video is
+   never aged out. They remain persisted/listed — only auto-summarisation is skipped.
+2. **Sort**: order candidates `published_at DESC, NULLS LAST, discovery_pos ASC`. Videos with
+   no publish date (schema 001: nullable) sort after all dated content. The sort is in-memory
+   (`slices.SortStableFunc`) — at current scale this is fine.
+3. **Process**: feed candidates to the engine in sorted order through `globalFetchGate`.
+
+Before (per-channel inline): `[chanA-old, chanA-mid, chanB-new, chanB-null]`
+After  (newest-first):       `[chanB-new, chanA-mid, chanA-old, chanB-null]`
+
+The set of *processed* videos now also excludes auto-mode back-catalogue beyond the recency
+window (those stay listed, summarised on demand); within the processed set, only order changes.
+
+### Connect-time onboarding burst (ADR-018 → ADR-028)
+
+On a successful YouTube connect, `ConnectHandler` enqueues a connect-triggered discovery pass;
+the `discoveryTrigger` runs that pass and then fires the **onboarding burst** — a third entry path
+that summarises up to `TAPIR_ONBOARD_SUMMARIZE_COUNT` (default 3, hard-capped) of the new user's
+videos so the first session is not empty. The burst still flows through `globalFetchGate` (it is
+not a throughput change); ADR-028 sharpened *which* videos and *which model*:
+
+- **Selection** is `OnboardBurstVideoIDs`, not pure newest-first. It keeps newest-first order but
+  excludes a video whose **known** duration is outside `[TAPIR_MIN_VIDEO_SECONDS,
+  TAPIR_ONBOARD_MAX_VIDEO_SECONDS]` (drops Shorts and multi-hour livestream VODs). An unknown
+  (NULL) duration is degrade-open — kept, but ranked after known-good rows. The connect-triggered
+  discovery pass runs *before* the burst, and ADR-023's `videos.list` enrichment now **persists**
+  `duration_s` (instead of discarding it after the Shorts filter), so a fresh user's candidates
+  carry a duration in time for selection.
+- **Model**: the burst runs through a dedicated summarizer chain led by
+  `TAPIR_ONBOARD_SUMMARIZER_MODEL` (default `iguana/gemma4-26b`, the stronger local model), with
+  the standard ADR-022 chain following as fallback. This is a wiring choice — a second
+  `engineProcessor` over the same store / transcript cache / sink; the engine and ports are
+  unchanged. Empty / equal-to-primary collapses it back onto the shared processor.
+
+`has-captions` is deliberately **not** a selection signal — it is only knowable after a gate fetch
+(or a ~0-probability cache hit at pilot scale), so the burst can avoid known-junk but cannot
+promise captions. Cached-transcript-first selection was investigated and rejected (ADR-028:
+~3% cross-user overlap).

+  rate gate** (ADR-014 item 2). Every caption fetch — scheduler runners *and* the web "Summarize"
+  click-path — serialises through this one limiter so the pod cannot collectively trip 429s. `0`

+- `TAPIR_FETCH_BACKOFF=4h` — per-video rate-limit retry window; default `1h`. A video that
+  returns HTTP 429 on a caption fetch is skipped for this duration before being retried. The
+  scheduler checks `NOW() - rate_limited_at > TAPIR_FETCH_BACKOFF` before attempting to fetch
+  a video marked `transcript_status = rate_limited`. Longer values reduce 429 pressure at the
+  cost of slower recovery after a throttling episode.
+- **SINGLE-REPLICA WARNING (load-bearing).** The scheduler lives in the web process, so
+  `replicas: 1` in the deployment manifest is load-bearing: running `tapir serve` at >1 replica
+  makes **every** replica run the discovery loop → every user fetched in parallel from the same
+  egress IP (429s + duplicate work). Do **not** scale `serve` past 1 replica without first moving
+  discovery to a k8s CronJob or adding leader election. The process logs a `Warn` at startup when
+  scheduled discovery is enabled, as a reminder.

+# kb-whisper vs pianissimo on one real hour of Swedish speech (tapir#33, 2026-10-01)
+
+One recording, one speaker: a 63.7-minute Teams session of the maintainer dictating project
+notes (domain-heavy, English loanwords and product names mixed into Swedish). **No transcript
+text and no domain terms are recorded here**: this repo is public and the content is private.
+Only aggregate numbers.
+
+Backends, both through the LiteLLM gateway and Tapir's own adapter, unchanged:
+`iguana/kb-whisper` (whisper.cpp, KB's Swedish fine-tune) and `iguana/pianissimo` (KlangAI
+Swedish Parakeet/FastConformer-TDT, MLX 8-bit, served by a small FastAPI shell on iguana:8102).
+
+## Result: a near tie on accuracy, a large difference in speed
+
+| | kb-whisper | pianissimo |
+|---|---|---|
+| Wall time for 63.7 min | 4m08s (~15x realtime) | **40 s (~95x realtime)** |
+| Segments | 1,302 (timed pieces, wrapped at ~60 chars) | 434 (sentences) |
+| Words (normalised) | 6,606 | 6,510 |
+| Punctuation | light, every segment ends in a full stop | heavier (138 vs 82 commas) |
+| Repetition loops | none | none |
+
+Word-level agreement between them: **92.4%** as first computed, **93.1%** after the segment
+rejoin fix below. 380 aligned disagreement spans, median one word each.
+
+**Blind A/B by the speaker** (the only ground truth available), on the 30 spans a model
+(Claude Opus 5.5) had picked as changing meaning, shuffled and unlabelled: **pianissimo 17,
+kb-whisper 13**, no "neither", no "can't tell".
+
+| Category of the 30 | pianissimo | kb-whisper |
+|---|---|---|
+| Technical term / English loanword | 8 | 4 |
+| Number / date / unit | 4 | 1 |
+| Name / proper noun | 3 | 3 |
+| Function word / small word | 1 | 2 |
+| Other (everyday words) | 1 | 3 |
+
+The reading: pianissimo is better on terminology and numbers, kb-whisper on ordinary Swedish
+words; names are even. Their errors differ in kind: kb-whisper's tend to be garbled words, a
+couple were wrong numbers; pianissimo's tend to be fluent substitutions that read as plausible
+(a wrong institution, an invented person, a dropped sign), which a reader or an LLM is less
+likely to catch.
+
+Opus's own lean agreed with the speaker's blind answer on **30 of 30**. That is not a measure
+of Opus over all 380 spans: it chose spans it could decide, and every one of the 30 carried a
+lean. Its full classification of the 380 (counts only): function/small word 81, filler or
+false start 65, technical term 58, compound split/join 46, other 39, name 28, casing or
+punctuation residue 26, inflection 23, number/date/unit 10, content omission or insertion
+(>= 3 words) 4.
+
+## A bug this comparison found in Tapir (fixed)
+
+kb-whisper's output is wrapped at ~60 characters and **a wrap can fall inside a word**; the
+continuation segment has no leading space, the response's `text` field joins segments with
+newlines, and a segment can be a lone `.`. Tapir stored that joined text, so chat received
+broken words. Measured on real gateway output: 7% of segments (96/1,332) in a synthetic hour,
+42/1,302 lines in the real one. berget's segments are whole sentences with no leading space, so
+the two need different joins. `transcribe.joinSegments` now rebuilds the text from the segments.
+Checked against the real transcript with pianissimo's vocabulary as an independent yardstick:
+36 spans changed, 31 now entirely known words, words unknown to pianissimo 224 -> 177.
+Five rejoined spans still contain an unknown word (a name or an unlucky glue): small residual
+risk. Earlier tests used short sentences and could not see this.
+
+## What this does not show
+
+- **One recording, one speaker, one domain.** No claim about other voices, accents, crosstalk,
+  or room noise. 17 vs 13 is not a significant difference.
+- **The other ~350 spans** were not judged by the speaker. They are mostly spelling, compounds,
+  fillers and small words; Opus's counts there are a model's judgement, not ground truth.
+- Errors **both** models share in text they agree on are invisible to this method.
+- Speed was measured once each, on an otherwise idle iguana; pianissimo's 40 s includes the
+  gateway hop and a 122 MB WAV upload.
+- Whether pianissimo survives the infra#273 Metal-OOM contention the way whisper does not was
+  not tested; both run on iguana.
+
+## What it suggests for Tapir (not decided, filed as an issue)
+
+Pianissimo is a **second local backend on the same host, through the same adapter**. That
+makes it a natural middle tier ahead of the cloud fallback (kb-whisper -> pianissimo ->
+berget), so a wedged whisper no longer sends private audio off the homelab. At 40 s an hour it
+is also cheap enough to run **both** on every upload and give chat both texts, or flag where
+they disagree; the maintainer's blind answers show they err in different places.

+# Audio length ceiling — measured before designing chunking (tapir#33, 2026-10-01)
+
+Question (#33, "the main technical risk"): at what recording length does Swedish
+transcription through the LiteLLM gateway first fail, and with what failure mode?
+Measured **before** any chunking design, with iguana not holding a large ollama model,
+so the result is the ceiling and not the Metal OOM of infra#273.
+
+## Answer
+
+**No transcription ceiling was found at or below 90 minutes.** A single request carrying
+90 minutes of 16 kHz mono PCM (174 MB) transcribed in one pass in 440 s. The first thing
+that actually fails is **not whisper**: it is the public gateway ingress, which rejects the
+upload with `413` at roughly 5.5 minutes of WAV.
+
+| Route | First failure | Failure mode |
+|---|---|---|
+| `https://llm-api.d-ma.be` (openresty ingress) | between 8.0 MB and 10.5 MB body (~4–5.5 min of WAV) | `413 Request Entity Too Large`, HTML body from `openresty`, returned instantly |
+| `http://koala:30401` (LiteLLM NodePort) → `iguana/kb-whisper` | **none up to 90 min / 174 MB** | — |
+| `http://koala:30401` → `berget/kb-whisper` | **none up to 22 min / 42 MB** (largest tried) | — |
+
+The ingress limit is the reason the 8:20 / 15 MB recording in #33 "failed repeatedly" and a
+30-second slice succeeded. That failure was attributed to a Metal OOM; at least in the
+size-dependent form described, a body-size cap explains it without one. (The OOM
+mechanism in infra#273 is separately real; this run did not provoke it.)
+
+The exact ingress cap was bracketed (8.0 MB passed, 10.5 MB failed), not read from the
+ingress configuration, which lives in `infra`. "About 10 MB" is an inference.
+
+## Method
+
+- **Audio.** No known-good Swedish recording is available that is safe to use: the only real
+  one is a private recording (#31 custody still open) and was
+  deliberately not touched. Instead: macOS `say -v Alva` (Swedish) on iguana, a 1,171-char
+  five-paragraph meeting script → 82.5 s of 16 kHz mono PCM WAV (`ffmpeg -ar 16000 -ac 1`).
+  Concatenated ×4, ×8, ×16, ×32, ×44, ×66 with Python `wave` (the issue's own recipe).
+  Nothing here is a real transcript; none of it is committed.
+- **Request.** `POST /v1/audio/transcriptions`, multipart `file=`, `model=iguana/kb-whisper`,
+  `response_format=verbose_json`, `-H 'Expect:'` (per #33's traps), master key supplied only
+  through `op run` and never on argv.
+- **Confound control.** `ollama /api/ps` on iguana was read before every step. Resident:
+  nothing, or `nomic-embed-text` (0.37 GB). Never a large model.
+
+## Results (`iguana/kb-whisper`, NodePort)
+
+| Audio | WAV size | HTTP | Wall | Realtime factor | Segments | Chars |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| 0:30 | 0.96 MB | 200 | 2.8 s | 11× | — | — |
+| 2:30 / 3:20 / 4:10 | 4.8 / 6.4 / 8.0 MB | 200 (ingress) | 12.9 / 16.0 / 19.9 s | 12× | — | — |
+| 5:30 (×4) | 10.5 MB | **413 ingress**, 200 NodePort in 27 s | 27 s | 12× | 121 | 4,557 |
+| 11:00 (×8) | 21.1 MB | 200 | 53 s | 12× | 241 | 9,094 |
+| 22:00 (×16) | 42.3 MB | 200 | 105 s | 13× | 482 | 18,201 |
+| 44:01 (×32) | 84.5 MB | 200 | 209 s | 13× | 966 | 36,438 |
+| 60:32 (×44) | 116.2 MB | 200 | 291 s | 12× | 1,332 | 50,145 |
+| 90:48 (×66) | 174.3 MB | 200 | 440 s | 12× | 2,005 | 75,165 |
+
+- Throughput is flat at ~12× realtime. 90 minutes costs ~7.5 minutes of wall time. This is
+  a minutes-long job, not a request/response one (see ADR-033 on ADR-018).
+- Segments per source repetition stay at 30.1–30.4 from ×4 to ×66, and segment times are
+  monotonic with `last_end` within 0.2 s of `duration`. No drift and no repetition-loop
+  hallucination appeared across 90 minutes. This is a weak check — the input is a repeated
+  loop and synthetic voice — not evidence of accuracy.
+- **Only `iguana/kb-whisper`'s `x4` run reported `last_end` 360.0 s against `duration`
+  330.2 s.** Whisper's final segment can end past the audio; clamp to `duration`.
+
+## Findings that change the design
+
+1. **Use the NodePort route, not the public hostname.** Tapir runs in-cluster beside the
+   gateway; `llm-api.d-ma.be` is the external door and has a body cap. #33 said "use the
+   gateway, never the host" and named the public URL; the gateway is right, that URL is not.
+   `TAPIR_GATEWAY_URL` already points at `koala:30401/v1`.
+2. **`response_format=srt` survives the LiteLLM hop, but wrapped.** The response is JSON
+   `{"text": "<the SRT>", "usage": …}`, not a bare SRT body — a client that parses the body
+   as SRT gets a parse error on `{`. #33 question 2 is answered: it passes through, inside
+   an envelope.
+3. **The two backends return different timestamp granularity.** `iguana/kb-whisper`
+   segments are **whole seconds** (`0→1`, `1→4`, `4→7`); `berget/kb-whisper` returns real
+   sub-second times (`0.051→1.192`) and a different `language` token (`swedish` vs `sv`).
+   `verbose_json` and the default JSON were byte-identical on iguana. An adapter that
+   falls back between the two must normalise both, and "which endpoint served this" is
+   a quality fact, not just a log line.
+4. **The existing chat path cannot answer about most of a long recording.** At
+   828 chars/min (this fixture; real speech is plausibly a little denser),
+   `TAPIR_MAX_TRANSCRIPT_CHARS`'s default of **18,000** is ~21.7 minutes. A 60-minute
+   transcript is 50 k chars, a 90-minute one 75 k. `chat.Service` truncates by keeping
+   the head (`internal/adapters/chat/chat.go`), so questions about the last two-thirds of
+   a one-hour meeting get an answer from a transcript that does not contain it. #33 says
+   chat "retrieves rather than generates" and therefore has no ceiling; it **stuffs and
+   truncates**, and its ceiling is the model context. See ADR-033.
+5. **Chunking is not needed for v1 on length.** Nothing failed up to 90 minutes. The
+   chunking-and-stitching recipe in #33 (offset timestamps, renumber cues, strip `\r`) is
+   not built. It stays the answer *if* a longer cap is wanted or the OOM mechanism forces
+   smaller requests — see ADR-033's resolution triggers.
+
+## What this did not measure
+
+- **Metal OOM under contention.** Deliberately avoided. A big resident ollama model
+  during a long transcription is still the known way to wedge iguana permanently.
+- **Real speech.** TTS is clean, single-voice, no crosstalk or room noise. WER and
+  speaker overlap in a Teams export are untested. Speed is probably representative;
+  accuracy is not claimed.
+- **Compressed input.** Only WAV was sent. Whether `m4a`/`mp3`/`opus` can reach whisper
+  without a server-side transcode is not established here (ADR-033 treats it as needing one).
+- **Concurrency.** One request at a time. Two simultaneous 90-minute jobs on iguana were
+  not tried.
+- **`berget/kb-whisper` beyond 22 min / 42 MB.** Enough to know the fallback is not
+  size-capped at meeting length for 22 minutes; not proven at 90.
+- **Time-of-day / other tenants.** One afternoon, one run per length.
+
+Scripts were throwaway shell/Python in a session scratchpad and are not committed; the
+method above reproduces them.

+# Chat over a long transcript — what the offered models really hold (tapir#33, 2026-10-01)
+
+Question: ADR-033 reuses `chat.Service`, which stuffs the transcript into the prompt and
+cuts the tail. #33 assumed chat "retrieves rather than generates" and so has no length
+ceiling. It does not retrieve, so its ceiling is the model's context. What is it, for the
+models chat actually offers?
+
+## Answer
+
+| Model (via the NodePort gateway) | Result | Limit found |
+|---|---|---|
+| `koala/phi4-mini` | correct to 30,000 chars; **HTTP 400 at 50,000** (13,332 tokens vs an 8,192-token context) | ~22,000 chars in production, where the client adds `max_tokens: 1500` |
+| `iguana/gemma4-26b` | correct at 18k, 50k and **90,000 chars** (26.5 k tokens); **at 120,000 chars it silently loses the head** | **90,000 chars** |
+| `berget/mistral-small` | answered "the transcript does not contain it" for a fact **at the end** of an 18,000-char and a 50,000-char transcript | unreliable here, one run each — see caveats |
+
+The dangerous one is gemma at 120,000 chars: **no error, no truncation flag** — the reported
+prompt tokens fell from 26,548 (90 k chars) to 16,387 (120 k chars), and the model answered
+"it does not say who the chair is" about a sentence at the very start of the transcript. The
+serving layer truncated the prompt from the front. `chat.Service` reports `Truncated: false`
+because *it* did not cut anything.
+
+## What this changes
+
+1. **The budget for an uploaded transcript is 90,000 chars, not a round 120,000.** That is the
+   best offered model's measured limit, ~100 minutes of speech at the fixture's density.
+   `TAPIR_MAX_UPLOADED_TRANSCRIPT_CHARS` defaults to it.
+2. **Chat over an upload must not open on the summarizer default.** The offered list is
+   `[SummarizerModel, FallbackModel, CloudFallbackModel]`, so `koala/phi4-mini` is first — and
+   400s on an hour of speech. `TAPIR_UPLOAD_CHAT_MODEL` (default `iguana/gemma4-26b`) is what
+   the upload chat opens with; the switcher still lists every model.
+3. **A per-model budget does not exist yet.** Someone who switches the dropdown to
+   `phi4-mini` on a long recording gets a loud HTTP 400, shown inline as "couldn't answer".
+   That fails honestly but unhelpfully. Filed as a follow-up.
+4. **The "retrieval chat" trigger in ADR-033 is now concrete:** any recording past 90,000 chars
+   (≈100 min) cannot be answered by stuffing, for any offered model.
+
+## Method
+
+`POST /v1/chat/completions` through `http://koala:30401/v1`, `temperature: 0`,
+`max_tokens: 200` (production sends 1500 for chat via the summary token cap), the same system
+framing as `chat.Service`. The transcript is the 60-minute synthetic fixture from
+`audio-length-ceiling-2026-10-01.md` truncated/repeated to N chars, with one unique sentence
+planted either at the **end** ("lagret på Kvarngatan ska tömmas … av Pelle", question: who/when)
+or at the **head** ("kvällens ordförande är Ingrid", question: who chairs). Needle at the
+end alone would have missed the gemma failure — a serving layer that truncates from the front
+keeps the tail, so the end-needle passed at 120,000 chars; only the head-needle exposed it.
+Grounded = the answer contains the planted fact.
+
+## What this did not measure
+
+- **Real speech**: the fixture is a repeated 82-second script, so retrieval "difficulty" is
+  artificially easy except for the planted needle. One question per run, one run per cell.
+- **`berget/mistral-small`'s failure**: it missed an end-needle at 18,000 chars where the
+  others succeeded. One run; could be the model, the prompt framing, or position bias. Not
+  investigated; do not read it as a ranking.
+- **Latency under load**, **concurrent** chat while whisper is transcribing, and in particular
+  the hazard below.
+- **`koala/qwen36-35b-a3b` or any frontier model** — not in the offered list.
+
+## A hazard this surfaces and does not solve
+
+`iguana/gemma4-26b` is a large ollama model on the same host as `iguana/kb-whisper`. infra#273
+is precisely that a large resident ollama model can Metal-OOM whisper-server permanently. Making
+gemma the default *chat* model for uploads means chatting with a transcript can load the model
+that wedges the transcriber. The primary-fails-over-to-berget design limits the blast radius but
+does not remove it. Recorded in ADR-033 and filed.

+# Can a local model adjudicate two ASR transcripts? (tapir#33, 2026-10-01)
+
+Question: when `iguana/kb-whisper` and `iguana/pianissimo` disagree about a word or phrase,
+can a **local** model say which reading is right, well enough to merge the two transcripts?
+Ground truth: the speaker's own blind answers on 30 disagreements of one real recording
+(see `asr-kb-whisper-vs-pianissimo-2026-10-01.md`; no transcript text is recorded here,
+this repo is public). Reference: Claude Opus 5.5 agreed with the speaker on all 30.
+
+## Method
+
+- **Items:** 30 disagreement spans that Opus had picked as changing meaning, the speaker's
+  verdict as truth (pianissimo right 17, kb-whisper right 13).
+- **Prompt:** one fixed English instruction (two transcriptions of Swedish speech differ at
+  ONE marked spot; say which reading the speaker most likely said; reply `ANSWER: 1|2|UNSURE`
+  plus one sentence). Each item was asked in **both reading orders** and in **two contexts**:
+  narrow (+-8 words) and wide (+-100 words). 120 calls per model, temperature 0.
+- **Models:** 11, all local (`koala/*`, `iguana/*`): nothing left the homelab. Run one iguana
+  model at a time, each unloaded afterwards, to avoid the memory pressure behind infra#273;
+  whisper was confirmed healthy afterwards.

+  unparseable <= 10%.
+
+## Results (wide context, 60 calls per model)
+
+| Model | Correct | 95% CI | Same pick when order swapped | Unparseable | s/call | Pass |

+| `iguana/gemma4-26b-think` | 23 = 38% | 27-51% | 100% | 37 | 15.3 | no (unparseable) |
+| `koala/qwen35-9b-fast` | 0 | n/a | n/a | 60 | 7.2 | no (no output) |
+
+Narrow context only (+-8 words) costs 6-12 points for the models that pass: gemma4-31b 92%,
+gemma4-26b 83%, ornith-35b 80%. Context is not decoration: Opus also used evidence from
+elsewhere in the recording (an amount stated earlier, a term that recurs).
+
+Position bias: the passing models pick "Reading 1" 47-51% of the time. `phi4-mini` picks it 15%
+and flips its answer when the order is swapped 76% of the time: it carries almost no signal.

+- **Two models pass:** the gemma4 pair. Both clear the bar and neither shows position bias.
+  26b is ~5x faster; their intervals overlap, so 30 items cannot separate 92% from 97%.
+- **The thinking models were not tested fairly.** `gpt-oss-20b` and `gemma4-26b-think` spend
+  the 600-token budget reasoning and often never reach the answer line. When gemma4-26b-think
+  did answer, it was right 23 of 23; gpt-oss-20b 93% of the answered. A larger budget would
+  make them eligible; at 15 s a call it would not make them practical.
+
+## What this does not show
+
+- **Thirty items, one recording, one speaker, one domain.** The 30 were chosen by Opus as
+  decidable, so they overstate how easy the typical disagreement is; ~350 others are mostly
+  spelling, compounds and fillers, which no ground truth covers.
+- Opus agreeing 30/30 is not a measure of Opus over all 380 disagreements.
+- Accuracy was measured at temperature 0 on one prompt; no prompt tuning was tried.
+- The speaker's answers are the only truth; they are one person's recollection of what they said.
+
+## Why gemma4-31b is slow, and what was ruled out
+
+On iguana (M2 Ultra, 64 GB) the dense 31B runs at **103 tok/s prefill, 7.9 tok/s decode**; the
+26B MoE at 641 and 39.6. Ruled out as the cause: memory pressure (no swap, 45% free, model 100%
+on GPU), context length (32k vs 4k made no difference), and the **inference engine** — MLX 4-bit
+of the same model measured 76 tok/s prefill and 8.6 decode, the same within noise. (Terse
+output saves only ~3.6 s of ~9.3 s because prefill dominates.) Two unrelated engines at the same
+speed points at the machine: ~140 GB/s effective memory bandwidth on a part rated for 800, and
+**iguana had macOS Low Power Mode on** (`pmset` `lowpowermode 1`). A first MLX benchmark was
+wrong because `mlx_lm.server` caches prompts; the figures above are from the corrected run.
+
+**Confirmed 2026-10-02.** The owner turned Low Power Mode off (`lowpowermode 0`, read back over
+ssh) and `gemma4:31b` was re-measured with nothing else resident: **217 tok/s prefill, 22.3
+tok/s decode** (4 runs, spread 22.2-22.6), against 103 and 7.9 with it on, so 2.1x and 2.8x. The
+slowness was the power mode, not the engine or the model. Caveats on the comparison: the new run
+used a different, synthetic Swedish prompt (~700 words, the original items held real transcript
+text and were deleted) and the model answered in 26-43 tokens, not the ~200 of the first run, so
+it is a same-machine before/after, not a controlled A/B. `gemma4:26b` and the MLX figures were
+not re-measured. The 31B's 97% judge accuracy is therefore usable at roughly a third of the
+latency the sweep implied; the 26B-vs-31B choice in ADR-034 was made on the slow numbers and is
+reopened by this.

+# Two-engine reconcile, first check on a real recording (tapir#33, ADR-034, 2026-10-02)
+
+Aggregate numbers only. This repo is public and the recording is private (#31 custody is open), so no
+transcript text, no disputed words and no per-item reading appears here.
+
+## What was run
+
+One real 63.6-minute Teams recording of one speaker dictating project notes (the video track, camera
+off, was discarded). Build: PR #39 head `7f8e367`. Everything local: `iguana/pianissimo` as base,
+`iguana/kb-whisper` as the second engine, `iguana/gemma4-31b` as reconciler (iguana Low Power Mode
+off), cloud fallbacks off, a throwaway Postgres.
+
+| Measure | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Job time, upload to saved | 21 min 49 s for 63.6 min of audio (20.6 min per hour of audio) |
+| Differences between the engines | 362 |
+| Settled automatically (compound splits, up to two filler words) | 80 |
+| Decided by the model | 282 |
+| Of those: alternative reading used / base kept / uncertain | 130 / 151 / 1 |
+| Model call errors | 0 |
+
+20.6 min per hour is inside the 25-minute resolution trigger in ADR-034, so no smaller adjudicator is
+needed on speed grounds. The earlier estimate was about 10 min per hour on gemma4-26b; it was not
+measured and this run used the 31B.
+
+## Blind check
+
+30 spots drawn at random (fixed seed) from the 89 replacement spots that could be placed in the base
+text, across the whole recording (0:44 to 60:57). The two readings were shown as x and y in random
+order, with the key kept apart from the judge. Judge: Claude Opus, text only, no audio, at the
+speaker's request ("I trust Opus"). The speaker did not judge these items themselves.
+
+| Verdict | Items |
+|---|---|
+| The reconciler's reading (the alternative) is right | 21 |
+| The base reading (pianissimo) is right, so the change made it worse | 1 |
+| Neither reading is right | 3 |
+| Cannot tell from text (compound, hyphen and number-format differences) | 5 |
+
+- Right of the items with a verdict: 21 of 22, 95% (95% interval 78% to 99%).
+- Right of all 30, counting "neither" and "cannot tell" as not right: 21 of 30, 70% (52% to 83%).
+- Right of the 25 that were not "cannot tell": 21 of 25, 84% (65% to 94%).
+- Net effect against the base on these 30: 21 better, 1 worse, 8 unchanged in quality.
+
+## Reading the result
+
+ADR-034's bar was "right at least 85% of the time". It did not say how ties count, and that was a
+flaw in the bar, not in the data. The literal reading (all 30) gives 70% and **does not meet** the bar;
+counting only decided items gives 95% and meets it. Neither is a hidden pass or a hidden failure; both
+are reported. What is not in doubt: on a random sample the reconciler improved the text far more often
+than it harmed it (21 to 1), and the 8 unchanged cases are mostly spellings the text cannot settle.
+
+## What this did not measure
+
+- **Better single engine.** The second ADR-034 condition, "no worse than the better single engine", is
+  **not answered**. Only changed spots are stored, not the 151 where the model kept pianissimo, so the
+  reconciler cannot be compared with kb-whisper alone. The 21-to-1 result is against pianissimo.
+- **The speaker as judge.** Opus judged from text. It cannot hear the audio, so it can be wrong where
+  the right word is audible but not inferable (items such as a mis-heard number or a name). Earlier,
+  Opus and the speaker agreed 30 of 30, but on items chosen as decidable; that does not transfer to a
+  random sample.
+- **Insertions and deletions.** 42 of the 131 stored spots were not sampled: 39 are an added or
+  removed word, which cannot be placed in the base text, and 3 are the uncertain spot or could not be
+  located. The 39 are mostly small words ("och", "det"), so this sample says little about them.
+- **One recording, one speaker, 30 items.** Wide intervals, and neighbouring spots (three pairs within
+  seconds of each other) are not independent.
+- **Segments keep the base text.** The saved timed segments hold pianissimo's wording, not the merged
+  text; only the stored full text is merged. Found while building this sample; not yet an issue.

+A per-video chat letting the user ask questions against a video's **already-stored** transcript,
+entered from the summary view. Born from observed demand: the maintainer read real summaries and
+some made him want to dig deeper — this gives that "I want more" reaction somewhere to go, without
+watching the video.
+
+## HARD CONSTRAINT — stored-transcript-only (the safety property)
+Chat is available **ONLY** for videos that already have a stored transcript (ADR-021). It must
+**never** trigger a caption fetch, never touch the rate gate, never reach YouTube. Entry being
+"from a summarized video" guarantees the transcript exists. If somehow invoked on a video with no
+stored transcript → show "transcript not available for chat", NO fetch. This is what makes the
+feature safe by construction; do not add an on-demand-fetch path (explicitly deferred).
+
+## 1. Entry point
+- A "Dig deeper" / "Ask about this" affordance on the **summary view** of a summarized video
+  (not the list cards — the detail/summary page). Quiet, consistent with the existing card-state
+  styling.
+- Opens a chat panel/view scoped to that one video, with its stored transcript as context.
+
+## 2. The chat
+- Read the stored transcript for the video (via the ADR-021 `TranscriptStore`, keyed by
+  `(provider, provider_video_id)`). No fetch.
+- Send transcript + the user's question + minimal system framing to the chosen model via the
+  **existing LiteLLM gateway** (the same client the summarizer uses — a chat is a different
+  call, not a new integration).
+- Stream or return the answer; render in the chat panel. HTMX/no-JS ethos — match the existing
+  app (the summarize status uses HTMX polling; chat can use a simple POST-and-render or HTMX
+  streaming if clean).
+- **Transcript truncation:** reuse/respect `TAPIR_MAX_TRANSCRIPT_CHARS` (ADR-022) so a long
+  transcript fits the model context. If truncated, the chat should be honest that it's working
+  from a bounded portion (a quiet note), since answers about the tail of a long video may be
+  incomplete.
+
+## 3. Model selection (the instrumentation win)
+- **Default model = the model that produced this video's summary.** (Store/lookup which chain
+  model summarized it — if not already recorded, this is a small addition; if recording it is
+  non-trivial, default to the chain primary and note the gap.)
+- **User can switch** among the ADR-022 chain models (`phi4-mini`, `gemma4-26b`,
+  `mistral-small` to start) via a simple selector in the chat panel. Switching re-runs against
+  the same transcript — this is deliberate model-comparison instrumentation.
+- Respect the local-first / NDA posture: if `TAPIR_CLOUD_FALLBACK_MODEL=""` (cloud disabled),
+  the external model is NOT offered in the switcher — only local models. Chat must honor the same
+  "content stays local" guarantee as ADR-022.
+
+## 4. Ephemeral (v1)
+- No persisted chat history. Conversation lives for the session/page. No new table, no migration.
+- (Multi-turn within a session is fine — keep the running messages in the request/page state —
+  but nothing is written to the DB.)
+
+## 5. Isolation
+- The transcript is shared/non-RLS (ADR-021) — fine, it's public content. But the chat is invoked
+  by a user about a video **in their feed**; confirm the entry path is reachable only for the
+  requesting user's own videos (the summary view is already RLS-scoped). Chat adds no new
+  user-data surface (ephemeral), so there's nothing new to RLS — but the test should confirm a
+  user can only open chat from their own summary view, not arbitrary video ids.
+
+## Tests
+- Chat on a video with a stored transcript → answer returned; assert NO caption-fetch / no
+  YouTube call occurs (the safety property — this is the key assertion).
+- Chat invoked on a video with no stored transcript → honest "not available", NO fetch.
+- Model switch → re-runs against the same transcript with the selected model; cloud model absent
+  from the switcher when `TAPIR_CLOUD_FALLBACK_MODEL=""`.
+- Truncation honored for a long transcript; the bounded-context note shows.
+- Entry is reachable only from the user's own summary view (isolation).
+
+## Out of scope / deferred (record, don't build)
+- **Persisted chat history** (per-user, RLS-scoped) — deferred until evidence anyone revisits a
+  conversation.
+- **Show-source / transcript-verification UI** — the natural v2 (ADR-027 records it); v1 is
+  chat-only/trust-the-model. ADR-021's stored transcript makes v2 cheap when wanted.
+- **On-demand fetch** for un-stored videos — would reintroduce the caption-fetch surface the
+  stored-only constraint removes. Not now.
+- Anything that nudges the user to return (ADR-020 — gate contamination).
+
+## Boundaries
+Stored-transcript-only (HARD). No rate-gate/fetch surface. No auth changes. No new persisted
+state in v1. Reuse the existing gateway client + truncation config; don't build a new model
+integration.

+# Spec — Newest-first batch ordering + honest "Try now" / prioritisation docs
+
+> **Extended by ADR-020 (2026-06-08).** This spec covers the *batch processing* order within a
+> pass. ADR-020 adds (a) a recency pre-filter — auto mode skips videos published before
+> `TAPIR_AUTO_SUMMARIZE_WINDOW`, listed but summarised on demand — and (b) the same
+> `published_at DESC NULLS LAST` ordering on the **list read** (`ListVideos`), which previously
+> sorted by `seen_at`. See `DECISIONS.md` ADR-020.
+
+**Repo:** tapir · **Size:** small · **Solo session.**
+
+**Why.** Product intent (maintainer, 2026-06-06): a new user should get summaries of their
+**newest** videos quickly, while the older back-catalogue fills in behind — all within the one
+shared rate gate. Today the foreground path ("Try now" button) lets a user hand-pick a video,
+but the **background batch processes in subscription/channel order, not newest-first** — so a new
+user with a large candidate set sees the batch summarise whatever channel is first in their
+subscription list, not their newest videos. This slice makes the batch agree with the intent, and
+fixes the docs to describe the real rationale (onboarding prioritisation), not the
+traffic-disguising framing a prior session wrote.
+
+Read `CLAUDE.md` + `DECISIONS.md` (ADR-014, ADR-018) first. TBD, conventional commits,
+`task check` green per commit, `templ generate` if views change.
+
+## 1. Newest-first batch ordering (the build)
+In `internal/runner/runner.go` `RunOnce`: today the loop processes each video inline while
+walking subscriptions channel-by-channel (`for sub → NewVideos → for v → process`). Change so
+that, within a pass, **candidates are processed newest-first across ALL channels**:
+- Collect the candidate videos across channels first (after dedup/seen/manual/rate-limit
+  filtering as today), then **sort by `published_at` descending before processing**, then process
+  in that order through the engine + shared `globalFetchGate`.
+- **`published_at` is nullable** (schema 001). Sort **NULLS LAST** — videos with no publish date
+  must not jump ahead of dated newest videos. Decide a stable tiebreak (e.g. `seen_at DESC`) for
+  equal/again-null dates.
+- Keep all existing behaviour: per-item failure isolation, the rate-limit backoff skip, manual
+  mode, channel-unavailable handling, stats. Ordering is the only change — not what gets
+  processed, just the order.
+- At 868 candidates a collect-then-sort in memory is fine; do **not** build a streaming/external
+  sort. Keep it simple.
+- The shared rate gate (`globalFetchGate`) is unchanged and still governs fetch pacing — ordering
+  does not bypass or weaken it.
+
+**Optional (only if cheap and clearly correct):** a soft cap so the *first* pass for a brand-new
+user summarises the newest N (e.g. 20) quickly and defers the long tail to subsequent passes — so
+onboarding value lands fast without waiting for the whole sorted set. If this adds real
+complexity, SKIP it and just do the newest-first ordering; the ordering alone delivers the intent.
+
+## 2. Tests
+- Given candidates across multiple channels with mixed `published_at` (incl. some NULL), assert
+  the processing order is newest-first, NULLS LAST, with the chosen tiebreak. Use the existing
+  fake VideoStore/Processor pattern in `runner_test.go`.
+- Assert ordering does not change *which* videos are processed vs. today (same set, new order).
+- Rate-gate / backoff / manual-mode behaviour unchanged (existing tests stay green).
+
+## 3. Docs — describe the REAL rationale (replace prior framing)
+The "Try now" button and the discovery batch together implement **onboarding prioritisation**:
+foreground (user-clicked "Try now") summarises a specific video on demand; background batch
+summarises newest-first; both honour the shared rate gate. **Update the docs to state this intent
+— and explicitly REMOVE/replace any framing that describes "Try now" as making traffic "look
+organic to YouTube" or evading rate limits.** That is not the rationale. The rationale is: *get
+the user a few summaries of their newest, most relevant videos fast; process the back-catalogue in
+the background; always within the honest shared rate limit.* Rate limiting is **respected**, not
+evaded.
+- `docs/ui-spec.md`: "Try now" = on-demand foreground summarisation of a chosen (typically newer)
+  video; rationale = fast onboarding value, not traffic shaping.
+- `docs/architecture/architecture.md`: document the two-path model — foreground on-demand vs.
+  background newest-first batch, both through `globalFetchGate` — and the newest-first ordering.
+- Any requirements/use-case doc mentioning discovery order: state newest-first.
+- If a brain note or `wiki` entry captured the "looks organic" rationale, correct it there too.
+
+## Boundaries
+- Do NOT increase fetch rate or weaken the rate gate. Account-safety constraint stands: the
+  caption endpoint is unofficial (ADR-010) and must be treated with honest backoff, never evasion.
+- Do NOT touch RLS, credentials, or the Dex surface.
+- Ordering change is within a pass only — no persisted priority queue, no new table.
+
+## Out of scope
+Per-user configurable ordering; priority weighting beyond newest-first; the soft-cap if it proves
+non-trivial.

+# Spec — Onboarding "wow" burst: better picks, stronger model
+
+**Repo:** tapir · **Size:** medium · **Solo session** (not a swarm).
+
+> **Status: built (v0.25.0, ADR-028).** This supersedes the original investigate-first brief
+> (committed as the prior version of this file): Phase 1 was run against the live pilot DB and its
+> findings are folded into "Why this exists" below; Phase 2 was built as described here. The one
+> brief lever NOT built — the honest "the rest fill in over the coming days" framing copy — is
+> listed under *Explicitly NOT in this slice*.
+
+**Why this exists.** A new user's first session decides whether they return (the Stage-0 gate,
+VISION.md). On connect, Tapir fires a capped burst (≤`TAPIR_ONBOARD_SUMMARIZE_COUNT`, default 3)
+that summarizes the user's newest unsummarized videos so the feed isn't empty (the burst itself
+works — wired in `cmd/tapir/discovery.go` → `cmd/tapir/main.go` `onboard`). A Phase-1
+investigation of the live pilot DB found the burst *fires* but delivers a **weak first
+impression** for two concrete reasons, and ruled out a third idea:
+
+1. **Picks are junk.** Selection is pure newest-first (`videos.NewestUnsummarizedVideoIDs`,
+   `ORDER BY published_at DESC`) with **zero quality signal**. Pilot user "Jonte"'s live burst-3
+   were a stock-ticker **livestream** + two regional news clips — the newest, not the best.
+2. **Weakest model on the first impression.** All of Jonte's summaries ran on
+   `koala/phi4-mini` (the documented weak link — ADR-022 was born from its failures). The
+   stronger, brain-validated `iguana/gemma4-26b` was never used for the burst.
+3. **Cached-first is empty at pilot scale — REJECTED.** The idea (summarize already-cached
+   transcripts instantly, zero fetch) dies on the numbers: only **11 videos** overlap between the
+   two pilot users (~3% of each library), **0** cached-and-unsummarized, and a new user's
+   newest-20 unsummarized are **20/20 NOT cached** — newest-first and cached-first are
+   structurally incompatible (fresh uploads are exactly what nobody has fetched yet). Not built.
+
+This is a **curation/latency problem for ~3 videos, NOT a throughput/429 problem** — fetching 3
+captions is nowhere near the rate limit. Nothing here fetches harder or pressures the rate gate;
+it picks the right few videos and runs a better model on them.
+
+Read `CLAUDE.md`, `DECISIONS.md` (esp. ADR-014, ADR-018, ADR-020, ADR-021, ADR-022, ADR-023,
+and the new **ADR-028**), and `VISION.md` (the Stage-0 gate) first. TBD — commit directly to
+`main`, one logical change per commit, conventional commits, `task check` green before each
+commit, `templ generate` if any view changes (none expected).
+
+## Decisions already made (do not reopen)
+- **Not a throughput change.** The caption rate gate (ADR-014) is untouched — same pacing, same
+  priority lane (ADR-026). This slice changes *which* ≤3 videos the burst spends its fetches on
+  and *which model* summarizes them, never how fast or how many.
+- **Cached-first is dropped** (ADR-028, the 3% overlap). The engine's existing read-stored-first
+  (ADR-021, `resolveTranscript`) stays — it already gives a free instant summary on the rare
+  cache hit, transparently. We do not *select* for cache hits.
+- **has-captions is not a pre-fetch signal.** It is only knowable after a gate fetch (or a cache
+  hit, ~0 for new videos). Selection can only *avoid known-junk* (Shorts/live/over-long) — it
+  cannot *guarantee* captions. The spec is honest about this: better odds, not a promise.
+- **No credentialed caption fetch** (ADR-010/ADR-026 dead end). **No client extension.**
+
+## 1. Persist `duration_s` at discovery (the enabling change)
+The `videos.duration_s` column exists (migration 001) but is **never written** — ADR-023's
+`filterLowValue` (`internal/adapters/youtube/youtube.go`) already fetches each candidate's
+duration via the cheap quota `videos.list` call, uses it to drop Shorts/live, then **discards
+it**. Stop discarding:
+- Add `DurationSeconds int` to `domain.Video`.
+- In `filterLowValue`, set `DurationSeconds` on each kept video from the `videos.list` `meta`.
+- `UpsertVideo` writes `duration_s`, **COALESCE-preserving** a known value (never overwrite a
+  real duration with 0/unknown), mirroring the `channel_title` backfill stance (migration 014).
+- No new migration — the column is already there.
+
+Consequence: a fresh user's connect-triggered discovery pass runs **before** the onboard burst
+(`Enqueue`: `run()` then `onboard()`), so duration is populated for the burst's candidates at
+connect. Existing rows backfill on their next discovery pass; until then their `duration_s` is
+NULL and treated as "unknown" (§2).
+
+## 2. Junk-avoiding burst selection
+New store method, RLS-scoped via `withUser`:
+
+```
+OnboardBurstVideoIDs(ctx, userID string, limit, minSeconds, maxSeconds int) ([]string, error)
+```
+
+- Same base as the old `NewestUnsummarizedVideoIDs`: the user's videos with no summary yet,
+  `ORDER BY published_at DESC NULLS LAST, seen_at DESC`, `LIMIT limit`.
+- **Exclude known-junk**: a row is dropped only when `duration_s IS NOT NULL` **and**
+  (`duration_s < minSeconds` OR `duration_s > maxSeconds`). A NULL duration is **unknown** — kept
+  (degrade-open: never starve the burst because metadata is missing), but ordered *after* rows
+  with a known-good duration so a freshly-enriched good pick wins when both exist.
+- `minSeconds` reuses `TAPIR_MIN_VIDEO_SECONDS` (default 60 — the Shorts floor, ADR-023).
+  `maxSeconds` is new: `TAPIR_ONBOARD_MAX_VIDEO_SECONDS` (default 14400 = 4h) — drops the
+  multi-hour livestream VODs that pass the live filter once ended.
+- `minSeconds<=0` and `maxSeconds<=0` each disable that bound (so `0/0` == the old
+  newest-first behaviour, the reversibility lever).
+- The burst switches to this method; `NewestUnsummarizedVideoIDs` is removed (fully superseded —
+  `OnboardBurstVideoIDs(., 0, 0)` is identical pure-newest behaviour).
+
+## 3. Stronger model for the burst
+The burst summarizes only ≤3 videos, so a slower, stronger model is affordable exactly here.
+- New config `TAPIR_ONBOARD_SUMMARIZER_MODEL` (default `iguana/gemma4-26b` — the brain-validated
+  homelab general-purpose model, already the ADR-022 fallback).
+- Build a **burst-specific summarizer chain** that puts the onboard model **first**, then the
+  standard chain (primary → local fallback → cloud) as resilience, deduped. Wrap it in a
+  burst-specific `engineProcessor` reusing the same store/transcript-cache/sink — a pure wiring
+  choice, engine and ports unchanged (Clean Architecture, ADR-003).
+- The `onboard` closure uses the burst processor instead of `app.Processor`.
+- **Collapse cleanly**: when `OnboardSummarizerModel` is empty or equals `SummarizerModel`, the
+  onboard path reuses `app.Processor` (no separate chain) — the reversibility lever.
+- Local-first preserved: the onboard model is a local alias; the cloud endpoint stays last in the
+  chain, so a client/NDA deployment with `TAPIR_CLOUD_FALLBACK_MODEL=""` keeps burst content
+  local too.
+
+## 4. Behaviour spec + docs
+- Add scenarios to `docs/use-cases/connect_account.feature` (the connect → burst flow): burst
+  skips a too-long/live video in favour of a reasonable-length one; burst summarizes with the
+  stronger model first. Map them in `scenarioCoverage` so `TestScenarioCoverage` stays green.
+- Update `docs/architecture/architecture.md` (the onboarding-burst section) to describe the
+  junk-avoiding selection + the burst model override.
+- ADR-028 in `DECISIONS.md` records the rationale (incl. the rejected cached-first lever).
+
+## Success criteria
+- `task check` green (fmt, vet, lint, `go test -p 1 ./...`).
+- A unit test proves `OnboardBurstVideoIDs` drops a known too-long / sub-min video and keeps a
+  good one, newest-first, RLS-scoped, unsummarized-only.
+- A test proves discovery persists `duration_s` and does not clobber it on re-upsert.
+- A test proves the burst chain leads with the onboard model (then the standard chain).
+- Config defaults + bounds tested (`OnboardMaxVideoSeconds`, `OnboardSummarizerModel`).
+- No change to the rate gate, fetch pacing, or burst cap. `0/0` + empty model == prior behaviour.
+
+## Explicitly NOT in this slice
+- Cached-first selection (rejected, ADR-028).
+- Any caption-availability *guarantee* (impossible pre-fetch).
+- **Honest "taster" framing copy** ("summaries of a few of your videos to get you started — the
+  rest fill in over the coming days"). A good lever from the original brief, but it's a UI/copy
+  change with no backend dependency; deferred to a UI pass, tracked as an issue.
+- Backfilling `duration_s` for existing rows via a migration (it backfills lazily on discovery).
+- Return-nudges / digests (ADR-020: poisons the unprompted-return signal).
+- Raising fetch throughput, multi-IP, or Whisper (out of scope; the gate is deliberate).

+# Spec — In-process scheduled discovery + auto-summarize + rate-gate finish
+
+> **Extended by ADR-020 (2026-06-08).** Auto-summarize is no longer "every unseen video": the
+> scheduler now skips videos published before `TAPIR_AUTO_SUMMARIZE_WINDOW` (default ~7d) unless
+> explicitly requested, so a back-catalogue does not re-drive the rate gate every cycle. See
+> `DECISIONS.md` ADR-020.
+
+**Repo:** tapir · **Size:** medium · **Solo session** (not a swarm).
+
+**Why this exists.** The Stage-0 gate ("me or a friend returns and reads/acts in ≥2 separate
+weeks") cannot be met because the system is not usable *unprompted*: discovery (`tapir run`) is
+host-side manual, so a newly onboarded user sees an empty list and never comes back. This slice
+makes Tapir watch on its own — the thing that makes the gate experiment actually runnable.
+
+Read `CLAUDE.md` + `DECISIONS.md` (esp. ADR-012, ADR-014, and the new ADR-018) first. TBD —
+commit directly to `main`, one logical change per commit, conventional commits, `task check`
+green before each commit. `templ generate` if any view changes.
+
+## Decisions already made (do not reopen)
+- **In-process scheduler**, NOT a k8s CronJob (maintainer's call: simpler deploy, acceptable
+  coupling at 3 users). The known cost — discovery shares the web process's lifetime and egress
+  — is accepted and recorded in ADR-018.
+- **Auto-summarize ON** for the maintainer + onboarded friends (zero-friction: the list fills
+  and summarizes itself).
+- **Gate clock resets** to when this ships (ADR-018) — until unprompted use is possible, the
+  prior window measured nothing.
+
+## 1. In-process scheduled discovery (core)
+- In `tapir serve` startup, launch a background goroutine that runs discovery for ALL users on
+  an interval: env `TAPIR_DISCOVERY_INTERVAL` (Go duration, e.g. `2h`). **Unset or 0 = disabled**
+  (so dev/tests never auto-fetch).
+- **Reuse the existing `runner.Runner` + `Loop`/`RunOnce`. Do NOT write a new scheduler.** The
+  per-user Runner already exists; the new work is **iterating users** and running one pass each
+  per tick. Enumerate users from the un-RLS'd `user_identities` (the same enumerate-then-act
+  pattern the login_events gate query established), then run each user's pass **inside that
+  user's RLS scope** (`withUser`).
+- **Stateless timing:** run-once-on-startup, then every interval — exactly the existing `Loop`
+  shape. Do NOT persist schedule state; a pod restart just restarts the cycle. Acceptable at this
+  scale. Do not build cron-in-Go.
+- **Graceful shutdown:** the goroutine respects `ctx` cancellation so a pod term doesn't wedge.
+- **Failure isolation in the loop:** one user's pass failing (or one channel/video) must not
+  abort the other users or crash `serve` — log and continue. (RunOnce already collects per-item
+  errors; preserve that at the per-user level too.)
+
+## 2. Auto-summarize default ON for Future-B users
+- New registrations default `auto_summarize = true` (so onboarded friends get zero-friction);
+  keep the account-page toggle so a user can switch to manual. One-off update existing user rows
+  to `true` as well (maintainer + any current users).
+- Consequence (intended): scheduled discovery both discovers AND summarizes new videos — which
+  is the point, and is why §3 is mandatory in the same slice.
+
+## 3. Finish/confirm the ADR-014 shared per-egress-IP rate gate (NOW load-bearing)
+- In-process scheduling + auto-summarize + multiple users = all caption fetches leave the **one
+  web pod's egress IP**, concurrently with any live "Summarize" button clicks. The timedtext
+  endpoint rate-limits per IP (ADR-010/014). Without a shared gate this self-inflicts 429s every
+  cycle.
+- **Confirm in code whether ADR-014 item 2 (a single PROCESS-WIDE rate gate) exists.**
+  Reconciliation flagged it as possibly built only as per-*video* backoff. If it is not a
+  process-wide gate, **build it now**: ONE shared limiter (token-bucket / min-interval) that
+  every timedtext/caption fetch passes through — scheduler loop AND click-path alike. Per-process,
+  not per-user, not per-video.
+- Keep the existing per-video 429 backoff (`rate_limited_at` + retry window) — complementary: the
+  gate prevents tripping 429; the backoff handles it if one still happens.
+- Honest UX (ADR-014 item 3) still applies: a fetch waiting on the gate shows "queued/waiting",
+  never a stuck spinner.
+
+## 4. Gate-clock reset — already recorded in ADR-018; verify VISION reflects it
+- ADR-018 (committed) resets the Stage-0 3–4 week window to start when this ships, and revises the
+  check-in date. VISION Stage 0 carries a pointer to it. The build doesn't re-decide this; just
+  ensure nothing in docs still implies the clock started earlier.
+
+## Tests
+- **Scheduler:** fake clock + fake Runner → N users each get one pass per tick; one user's failure
+  doesn't stop the others; `ctx` cancel stops the loop; interval=0 disables it entirely.
+- **Rate gate:** concurrent fetches (scheduler + simulated click) are serialized/limited through
+  the ONE gate — assert max-in-flight / min-interval honored regardless of caller.
+- **Auto-summarize default:** new registration → `auto_summarize = true`; account-page toggle
+  still flips it.
+
+## Out of scope / known constraints
+- No CronJob / k8s objects (in-process chosen).
+- **SINGLE-REPLICA ASSUMPTION (load-bearing).** In-process scheduling means if `tapir serve` ever
+  runs >1 replica, every replica runs the discovery loop → every user fetched in parallel (429s +
+  duplicate work). At 3 users this is single-replica, fine — but the build MUST note this
+  constraint in ADR-018 / deploy docs so a future scale-up doesn't silently double-run.
+- No persisted schedules, no multi-pod coordination.
+
+## Fallback if the session runs short
+Ship the scheduler with **auto-summarize OFF** (discovery only; manual Summarize button) until the
+process-wide rate gate (§3) is confirmed/built. NEVER ship auto-summarize-on-a-schedule without the
+gate — that combination self-inflicts 429s for every user every cycle. Auto-summarize ON is gated
+on §3 being done.

+# Spec — Stage 0 usage measurement (login events)
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-03
+**Status:** Ready to build · **Repo:** tapir · **Size:** small (one migration + middleware + query)
+**Why:** The Stage 0 gate (VISION, ADR-016) is *return usage in ≥2 separate weeks*. `summary_actions`
+captures *acts* (watch/skip/save) but not *reads* — a friend who logs in weekly and reads summaries
+without clicking anything is invisible. For a **reading** product that is the most important signal.
+This adds the missing data so the gate is measurable as written. Solo session, not a swarm.
+
+Read `CLAUDE.md` + ADR-016 first. TBD, conventional commits, `task check` green before each commit.
+
+## Scope (resist sprawl — this is NOT analytics)
+
+A lightweight, append-only record of *when each user was active*, enough to answer
+"returned/read in ≥N distinct weeks". Not page-level events, not click tracking, not a funnel.
+
+### 1. Migration — `login_events` (append-only)
+```
+login_events (
+  id        UUID PK default gen_random_uuid(),
+  user_id   UUID NOT NULL,          -- per-user; RLS like every user-owned table
+  seen_at   TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL default NOW()
+)
+INDEX (user_id, seen_at)
+```
+- **RLS:** `FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY`, same policy/pattern as the other user-owned tables (the
+  `tapir.current_user_id` GUC via the `withUser` seam — match migration 003). A reporting query that
+  needs cross-user counts runs as the owner/maintainer outside the per-user scope, or via a dedicated
+  read — decide consistently with how existing admin-ish reads are done.
+- Append-only: no updates, no deletes except the user-delete cascade. **Add to the delete-account
+  cascade** (ADR-013) — `login_events` has no FK (mirrors `summary_actions`), so `DeleteUser` needs an
+  explicit delete for it, and the delete test must assert it's covered. *Do not forget this* — it's the
+  exact footgun the last delete work caught.
+
+### 2. Middleware — throttled stamp
+- In the authenticated request path (after `CurrentUserID` resolves, inside the registration-gated
+  app — NOT on `/welcome`/`/healthz`/`/auth`), record one `login_events` row **per user per day**
+  (throttle: skip if a row exists for this user with `seen_at` ≥ start-of-today). One insert per active
+  day, not per request — keeps the table small and the signal clean.
+- Throttle check must itself be RLS-scoped (`withUser`). Keep it cheap (indexed lookup).
+
+### 3. Query — the gate report
+Provide a query (and optionally a tiny `tapir report` CLI subcommand or an admin page — your call,
+CLI is fine) answering, per user:
+```sql
+-- distinct active weeks from reads (login_events) AND acts (summary_actions), unioned
+WITH weeks AS (
+  SELECT user_id, date_trunc('week', seen_at) AS wk FROM login_events
+  UNION
+  SELECT user_id, date_trunc('week', acted_at) FROM summary_actions
+)
+SELECT user_id, COUNT(DISTINCT wk) AS active_weeks
+FROM weeks GROUP BY user_id
+ORDER BY active_weeks DESC;
+```
+Gate passes when any user_id (maintainer or friend) reaches `active_weeks >= 2` within the window.
+
+## Honesty caveats to carry (from VISION/ADR-016)
+- **"Unprompted" is not measurable here.** login_events records *that* a user returned, not *why*. A
+  nudged return looks identical to an organic one. This build does not close that gap and must not
+  claim to — the VISION measurement note stands: count returns, read a nudged return as weaker signal.
+  (If prompt-tracking is ever wanted, that's a separate decision, not this build.)
+- **Data accrues from deploy onward.** The gate window's read-data starts when this ships — so ship
+  soon (maintainer's call) rather than batching with the infra tooling session.
+- **`date_trunc('week')` is ISO/timezone-sensitive** and noisy at low volume (N=3). Two visits days
+  apart can fall in the same or different weeks. Acceptable, but don't over-read a single-week-margin
+  pass/fail.
+
+## Out of scope
+Page/event analytics; prompt-vs-organic tracking; dashboards beyond the one gate query; anything
+touching the engine or sinks (this is web/store only — ADR-003 holds).
+
+## Tests
+- Migration up/down; RLS on `login_events` (extend the two-user isolation test to cover it).
+- Throttle: N requests same day → 1 row; next day → 2nd row.
+- `DeleteUser` removes the user's `login_events` and leaves others' intact (extend the delete test).
+- The gate query returns correct distinct-week counts across a seeded reads+acts fixture.

+# Spec — Unify video-card states: one "Summarize now" verb, honest no-captions state
+
+> **Superseded in part by ADR-020 (2026-06-08).** The five card states still hold, but the copy
+> changed: the nudge verb is now **"Summarize"** (not "Summarize now"), the rate-limited state
+> reads **"In queue"** (not "Fetching soon…"), and the queued state reads **"summarizing
+> shortly"** (not "waiting for the next run"). The list also now collapses older un-summarized
+> and caption-less videos. See `DECISIONS.md` ADR-020 and `views.templ` (`VideoCard`) for the
+> current copy; this doc is kept as the original design record.
+
+**Repo:** tapir · **Size:** small, **view-layer only** (`views.templ` + a little CSS in
+`view.go`; regenerate `views_templ.go`). No handler, store, or DB change. The two existing
+handlers (`/summarize`, `/retry-now`) stay exactly as they are — only what the card *shows*
+changes.
+
+**Why.** The video card today presents two different verbs — "Try now" (`.btn-retry`, on
+rate-limited videos) and "Summarize" (`.btn-secondary`, on pending videos) — for what the user
+experiences as one intent: *"summarize this video now."* The user doesn't know or care about the
+internal pipeline state (rate-limited vs. manual-queue); two differently-labelled, differently-
+styled buttons leak that state machine into the UI as a choice. Also: a **no-captions video
+(`TranscriptStatus == "none"`) currently falls into the `else` branch and wrongly shows a
+"Summarize" button** that, if clicked, tries and fails — there are no captions to fetch. That's
+the confusing dead-end to remove.
+
+In normal use the maintainer is in **auto mode**, so these buttons are *exceptions*, not the main
+path — videos summarize themselves. So the card should be **status-first**: the state is what the
+user reads constantly; the manual nudge is a small, quiet affordance for impatience, not a
+prominent call-to-action.
+
+## The honest per-state card model (footer of `VideoCard`)
+
+Restructure the footer branch in `VideoCard` (in `internal/web/views.templ`) to these states.
+The branch ORDER matters (summarized first, then terminal/no-action states, then actionable):
+
+1. **Summarized** — preview + provider chip + fallback badge + actions. **No button.** (unchanged)
+2. **No captions** (`r.TranscriptStatus == "none"`) — **NEW branch.** Quiet status text, e.g.
+   `No transcript available` (use a muted `.card-state`/`.chip-retry`-style treatment, NOT a
+   button). This is a terminal honest dead-end — the user can do nothing, so offer nothing.
+3. **Queued / requested** (`r.SummarizeRequested`) — "Queued · waiting for the next run". **No
+   button.** (unchanged)
+4. **Rate-limited** (`r.TranscriptStatus == "rate_limited"`) — quiet status (keep the
+   "fetching soon" sense) + a **quiet "Summarize now"** button POSTing to `retryNowURL` (clears
+   backoff then processes). Same quiet style as state 5.
+5. **Pending** (else — discovered, not yet attempted) — quiet "Not summarized" + a **quiet
+   "Summarize now"** button POSTing to `summarizeURL` (flips the queue flag then processes).
+
+## Unify the verb and the style
+- **One label everywhere a manual nudge is offered: "Summarize now"** (states 4 and 5). Drop the
+  "Try now" wording entirely.
+- **One quiet style** for both: use the understated `.btn-retry` pattern (small, pill, outline,
+  transparent bg) — NOT `.btn-secondary`/`.btn` (heavier). Rename the CSS class to something
+  state-neutral (e.g. `.btn-quiet` or `.btn-summarize-now`) so it no longer reads as
+  "retry"-specific; keep the same visual. The point: the nudge is subtle, status is primary.
+- Keep both `<form>`s posting to their respective existing handler URLs
+  (`retryNowURL` for rate-limited, `summarizeURL` for pending) with the existing HTMX
+  attributes (`hx-post`, `hx-target=#video-{id}`, `hx-swap=outerHTML`) — only the button
+  label/class change. The backend side-effect difference (clear-backoff vs. set-flag) stays
+  invisible to the user, which is correct.
+- Drop the engineer-facing `title="Fetch transcript now through the shared rate gate"` tooltip;
+  if a hint is wanted, make it user-facing ("Summarize this one now").
+
+## Quietness check (the design intent)
+The summary content and the per-state *status* are the card's primary information. The "Summarize
+now" button is a minor affordance. Do not make it a prominent solid-accent CTA — it must read as
+"you can nudge this if you're impatient", not "action required". Status text uses muted styling;
+the button uses the quiet outline style.
+
+## Tests
+- `videocard_internal_test.go` (exists): assert each of the 5 states renders the expected
+  footer — summarized (no button), no-captions (status, NO button, no `summarize`/`retry-now`
+  URL present), queued (no button), rate-limited ("Summarize now" → retry-now URL), pending
+  ("Summarize now" → summarize URL). The key new assertion: **a `none`-status video renders no
+  action button and no POST URL.**
+- Assert the label string "Try now" no longer appears anywhere in rendered output.
+
+## Out of scope
+Handler/DB changes; the detail-page action buttons (watched/skipped/saved — unrelated); the
+pipeline stats bar wording; auto/manual mode behaviour. Verb/label/style/no-captions-state only.

+# Sprint: audio upload follow-ups (Sweep Sprint, 2026-10)
+
+Method: Sweep Sprint (phase 1 parallel read-only research per issue: **done**; phase 2 sequential
+execution, one issue per commit: **not started, waits for the owner's go**). Closing oath below.
+
+Milestones: [v0.31.1 - security and robustness](https://git.d-ma.be/mathias/tapir/milestone/10),
+[v0.32.0 - audio upload follow-ups](https://git.d-ma.be/mathias/tapir/milestone/11).
+
+Context: v0.31.0 shipped audio upload (ADR-033/034/035) and is live in production behind auth at
+`/uploads`, with the Berget cloud fallback on for audio (infra#522). A real 63.7 min upload
+transcribed in 2m53s with no errors. The phase-1 investigation found two pre-existing or new
+weaknesses an authenticated user can reach, so the first release is a hotfix.
+
+## Oath (closing gates, every clause must hold; blocked = descoped and tracked, never "done")
+
+| # | Clause | Evidence |
+|---|--------|----------|
+| SG1 | Every issue in the sprint is closed with a linked commit, or moved out with a stated reason | issue list of both milestones |
+| SG2 | Each fix has a test that was seen red on main first, named after the mechanism it observes | red/green output in the issue |
+| SG3 | `task check` AND `golangci-lint run ./...` exit 0 (checked by `$?`, not by grep); `task check` does not gate lint until #41 | gate output |
+| SG4 | Control code (#48, #49, the upload cap in #47) has a recorded adversarial review verified by execution, verdict in the issue | gatekeeper verdict comment |
+| SG5 | Docs current in the same commit: ADR-033/035 text, feature file, use-case coverage test | diff |
+| SG6 | Each release tagged (v0.31.1, v0.32.0), pushed, deployed, and observed live (pod running the new image, no restart loop, a real upload still works) | `kubectl`/log + one upload |
+| SG7 | Learnings written to the brain; deferred work filed as issues; decisions that are the owner's recorded as DECISION NEEDED | brain ids + issue numbers |
+
+## Work order
+
+### v0.31.1 (security and robustness; hotfix, do first)
+
+1. **#41 lint gate.** `task check` swallows lint findings (`|| echo`). Make the gate fail on findings,
+   fix what it surfaces. First, so every later gate means something. (Decision D1.)
+2. **#48 cross-origin POST protection.** `http.NewCrossOriginProtection()` around `Router()`.
+   Red: foreign-origin POST to `/account/delete`, `/uploads`, `/uploads/{id}/chat` is refused.
+3. **#49 ffprobe/ffmpeg limits.** `-max_streams 32` + narrower probe output; probe stdout cap;
+   probe deadline. Three commits.
+4. **#47 concurrent-upload cap (remaining item).** Bound the spool: reservation per accepted upload
+   against the 6Gi emptyDir so concurrent uploads cannot evict the pod.
+5. **#50 SIGTERM interim.** Handle SIGTERM; record the interrupted job at once; fix the false
+   comment. Full drain recorded as a limitation. (Decision D2.)
+
+Release v0.31.1: one adversarial review round over 2-5, then tag, push, observe.
+
+### v0.32.0 (follow-ups)
+
+6. **#52** label a cloud-served transcript in plain words; document the empty-transcript trigger.
+7. **#53** bound the LLM client's response body read.
+8. **#51** tracker: save timeout, then app-clock heartbeat.
+9. **#37** nav link to uploads and per-recording delete (queued/transcribing: refuse until it
+   ends). (Decision D3.)
+10. **#36** chat default model after measurement. (Decision D4.)
+11. **#38** measurements (Berget length limit, large models on production iguana). (D5, D6.)
+12. **#46** remainder of the hardening list after the items above are split out.
+13. **#45** evaluate Berget as the reconciler: a question, not work. (D8.)
+
+## DECISION NEEDED (owner's call; recommendation first)
+
+| # | Question | Recommendation | Blocks |
+|---|----------|----------------|--------|
+| D1 | #41: should any linter be allowed to opt out of the gate? | No opt-out; fix findings | #41 |
+| D2 | #50: full SIGTERM drain, or record as a limitation and ship the interim fix? | Limitation + interim; a drain costs 4-6 h and downtime on every deploy at current volume | #50 |
+| D3 | #37: delete of a queued/transcribing recording | Refuse until it ends | #37 |
+| D4 | #36: make a 31B model the chat default? | Only after measurement, conditional | #36 |
+| D5 | #38: Berget length measurement needs a throwaway key | Yes, throwaway key | #38 |
+| D6 | #38: load large models on production iguana | Yes, in a quiet window with the owner present | #38 |
+| D7 | #46: where the ffmpeg tarball lives | Do nothing now; file an issue | none |
+| D8 | #45: evaluate Berget as the reconciler | No; stay local-only | #45 |
+| D9 | Who judges ADR-034's second blind check | The owner; do not reuse the one-off Opus authorisation | ADR-034 |
+| D10 | When to enable reconcile in production | Needs `iguana/pianissimo` in the key pin and env vars; owner present | ADR-034 |
+
+## Dropped or reduced, with reasons
+
+- **#46 item 1 (`alis`/`dref` external reference):** checked, not a problem. Under the application's
+  flags ffmpeg skips the external track and writes a 78-byte WAV.
+- **#46 item 2 / #47 item 2:** merged into #49.
+- **#47 item 3 (full drain):** reduced to #50 plus a recorded limitation.
+- **#46 `Beat` taking the tracker mutex:** incorrect in #46; only `logStill` does. Corrected in #51.
+
+## Human-present items (do not run unattended)
+
+- Production iguana model loads (#38, D6).
+- Enabling reconcile in production (D10).
+- Any key change or `apply` in infra (infra#523, infra#524 are open and not part of this sprint).
+
+## Release plan
+
+SemVer: v0.31.1 patch (fixes, no new behaviour); v0.32.0 minor (nav link, delete, cloud labelling).
+Every push to tapir main redeploys the pod and fails any job in flight: push when no upload is
+running (check the pod log first).

An init script in `<head>` applies the stored choice before paint (no flash). Charm touches: monospace meta lines, accent uppercase section dividers with a trailing rule, pill buttons, a lifted/accent-edged expanded card. Error/danger shades became `--err-*` tokens so they follow the theme without per-block dark overrides.

List order is now `summarized-first, published_at DESC NULLS LAST`. Copy reframed for honest scarcity: pipeline bar reads "N ready · M in queue · K no captions" (no "fetching soon"); a gradual-fill note explains the rate limit; the nudge verb is "Summarize" (not "Summarize now"); the queued card says "summarizing shortly"; the empty-connected state drops the impossible `tapir run` instruction. Detail leads with Takeaways. Filters slimmed (no date pickers; hidden when empty); watched/skipped segmented; back link on detail; empty terms checkbox removed. | Make the sparse reality legible and honest instead of implying abundance/imminence; bound auto load so the back-catalogue doesn't re-drive the caption gate.

+
+  Scenario: The upload form states the limits up front
+    When I open the upload page
+    Then I see the size limit and the length limit before I choose a file
+
+  Scenario: An accepted recording is queued and I am taken to its page
+    When I upload an audio file within the limits
+    Then it is recorded as queued for me
+    And I am redirected to its page
+
+  Scenario: A recording with no title is named after its file
+    When I upload an audio file and give no title
+    Then its title is the filename without its extension
+
+  Scenario: A file with a video track is accepted and I am told the video was ignored
+    When I upload a recording that also has a video track
+    Then it is accepted and queued like any other
+    And its page says only its audio was used and the video was discarded
+    And it says so while queued, while transcribing, when done and when failed
+
+  Scenario: A video file with no audio is rejected for having no audio
+    When I upload a video that has no audio track
+    Then it is rejected with a message that it has no audio
+    And nothing is recorded
+
+  Scenario: A recording over the length limit is rejected with both lengths
+    When I upload a recording longer than the limit
+    Then it is rejected stating the recording's length and the limit
+    And nothing is recorded
+
+  Scenario: A file over the size limit is rejected as too large
+    When I upload a file larger than the size limit
+    Then it is rejected with 413 and a message about the limit
+    And nothing is recorded
+
+  Scenario: Cover art on an audio file is not a video track
+    When I upload an mp3 whose only video stream is attached cover art
+    Then it is treated as audio and no video notice is shown
+
+  Scenario: A file that is not media is rejected as unreadable
+    When I upload a file ffprobe cannot read
+    Then it is rejected as the file's fault
+
+  Scenario: A broken ffprobe is reported as our fault, not as a bad file
+    When the prober itself fails
+    Then the upload is an error rather than a rejection of my file
+
+  Scenario: A recording becomes a transcript and the audio is deleted
+    Given I have uploaded a recording
+    When it has been transcribed
+    Then the transcript is stored privately for me
+    And the audio is deleted
+
+  Scenario: The endpoint that served a transcript is recorded and shown
+    Given a recording was transcribed by the fallback endpoint
+    When I view its page
+    Then it names the fallback endpoint, because that means the audio left the homelab
+
+  Scenario: The local endpoint is tried first and the fallback only on failure
+    When the primary transcription endpoint fails for any reason
+    Then the fallback endpoint transcribes it
+    But when the primary succeeds the fallback is never contacted
+
+  Scenario: A failed transcription ends in a message, never a spinner
+    When every transcription endpoint fails
+    Then the upload is failed with a typed reason
+    And its page shows that reason and stops polling
+
+  Scenario: A restart fails the jobs it interrupted
+    Given the service restarted while a recording was queued or transcribing
+    When it starts again
+    Then those uploads are failed as interrupted
+    And any audio left in the spool is deleted
+
+  Scenario: Only one recording is transcribed at a time
+    When several recordings are queued
+    Then they are transcribed one after another
+
+  Scenario: My uploads are invisible to other users
+    Given another user has uploaded a recording
+    When I ask for it by its id
+    Then I get 404 and no part of its title or text
+    And the chat for it calls no model
+
+  Scenario: I can ask about my recording and get a grounded answer
+    Given my recording has been transcribed
+    When I ask a question about it
+    Then the answer comes from my transcript through the same chat as a video's
+
+  Scenario: A long recording is not cut to its first third
+    Given my recording's transcript is longer than the caption default
+    When I ask a question about it
+    Then the transcript is sent with the upload budget, not the 18,000-character caption default
+
+  # ADR-034, two engines and a local reconciler (off unless TAPIR_RECONCILE_BASE_MODEL is set)
+
+  Scenario: Two engines transcribe the audio and their disagreements are reconciled
+    Given two-engine transcription is enabled
+    When a recording is transcribed
+    Then both engines run on the same audio, the fast one first
+    And a local model chooses between their disagreements
+    And the endpoint names every engine and the model that took part
+
+  Scenario: Trivial disagreements never reach the model
+    When the engines differ only by a compound written as one word or two, or by a filler word
+    Then the base reading is kept without a model call
+
+  Scenario: Differences close together are one decision
+    When two differences are separated by a single shared word
+    Then they are asked about as one dispute
+
+  Scenario: An unsure or changed reading is flagged for me
+    When the model changes a reading or cannot decide
+    Then the page lists the spot with a minute mark, both readings and which was used
+    And an unsure spot keeps the base reading and is marked uncertain
+
+  Scenario: The model cannot be a cloud model
+    When the reconciliation model or base engine is not a koala/ or iguana/ alias
+    Then the service refuses to start
+    And a cloud alias that merely contains a local host name is refused too
+
+  Scenario: One engine failing does not fail the upload
+    When one of the two engines fails
+    Then the other engine's transcript is used
+    And the page says only one engine produced it and why
+    And the cloud fallback is not used
+
+  Scenario: Only when both local engines fail does the cloud fallback run
+    When both local engines fail and a fallback is configured
+    Then the fallback transcribes it and the row records that it did
+
+  Scenario: A model that is down gives an unreconciled transcript, not a failed job
+    When the reconciliation model fails three times in a row
+    Then the base transcript is kept unreconciled with the reason
+    And the page says it could not be reconciled
+
+  Scenario: A cancelled job never reaches the cloud
+    When the job is cancelled during either engine
+    Then neither the second engine nor the cloud fallback is called
+
+  Scenario: A single-engine transcript claims no second opinion
+    When only one engine was configured
+    Then the page does not mention reconciliation
+
+  # ADR-035: progress, the log, and the judged spots
+
+  Scenario: I can see which phase my upload is in
+    Given a recording is being transcribed
+    When I open its page
+    Then it lists every phase in order, the finished ones with how long each took
+    And the running phase is marked, with how long it has run
+    And the page updates in place every two seconds until the job ends
+
+  Scenario: A bar appears only where the count is real
+    When the deciding phase has decided 142 of 282 differences
+    Then the page shows a bar with "142 of 282"
+    And an engine call, which is one request with nothing to count, never gets a bar or a percentage
+
+  Scenario: A slow engine call is not mistaken for a dead service
+    When an engine call has run for 25 minutes and the service is still reporting
+    Then the page shows the elapsed time and says nothing is wrong
+
+  Scenario: A service that stopped reporting is called lost
+    When nothing has been heard from the service for longer than the heartbeat allows
+    Then the page says the service stopped reporting and may have restarted or crashed
+    And the running phase carries a warning mark and no spinner
+    And the page keeps checking
+
+  Scenario: A model that stops advancing is called quiet
+    When the deciding phase has not advanced for five minutes and the service is still reporting
+    Then the page says nothing new has happened for that long and that the service is still running
+    And it does not say the service is lost
+
+  Scenario: A failed job shows where it stopped
+    When a job fails
+    Then the failed phase is marked and what never started stays pending
+    And the page stops checking
+
+  Scenario: A finished job keeps its record of what was done
+    When a job is done
+    Then the page keeps a collapsed list of the phases with how long each took
+
+  Scenario: The heartbeat runs on its own while an engine call is stuck
+    When an engine call does not return
+    Then the row is still stamped alive every few seconds
+    And no heartbeat outlives its job
+
+  Scenario: The log names every phase and never the transcript
+    When a job runs
+    Then the log has a line per phase in the order it ran, each naming the upload
+    And no line contains transcript text or the spool path
+
+  Scenario: Every judged spot is stored but only the ones to check are listed
+    When the model has changed, kept and been unsure about spots
+    Then every one is stored with its verdict and the words before it
+    And the page lists only the changed and uncertain ones, with the words before each
+
+  Scenario: The saved segments carry the merged words
+    When the model changes a word
+    Then the segment containing it carries the reconciled word
+    And the segment's timing is unchanged
+
+  # ADR-035 decision 8: hardening from the adversarial review
+
+  Scenario: Chat about a recording is offered with local models only
+    When I open the chat for my recording
+    Then the model list holds only models that run on the homelab
+    And a cloud model the shared chat service knows is not in it
+
+  Scenario: A forged cloud model is never sent the transcript
+    When a chat request names a cloud model
+    Then a local model answers instead, and nothing was sent to the cloud one
+
+  Scenario: A wedged engine does not use up the whole job
+    When the primary engine never answers
+    Then it fails at its own deadline while the job is still alive
+    And the fallback runs, unless the job itself was cancelled or timed out
+
+  Scenario: A file that lies about its length is refused
+    When a file claims to be short but converts to more than the limit
+    Then the job fails with a plain explanation and no engine receives the audio
+
+  Scenario: A recording much shorter than its file claimed is transcribed and noted
+    When a file converts to under 80 percent of the length it claimed and more than two minutes short
+    Then it is transcribed anyway and its audio step says how long the audio really is
+    And a complete recording whose header over-estimated its length is not refused
+
+  Scenario: A transcript made by the cloud fallback says the audio left the homelab
+    When the transcript was produced by an endpoint that is not local
+    Then its page says in plain words that the audio left the homelab and names the provider
+    And a locally transcribed recording carries no such note
+
+  Scenario: I can delete a finished recording
+    When I confirm deleting a done or failed recording
+    Then the recording and its transcript are gone and I am back on my list
+    And another user's recording is a 404 and is untouched
+
+  Scenario: A recording still being transcribed cannot be deleted
+    When I try to delete a recording that is queued or transcribing
+    Then I am told it is still being transcribed and nothing is removed
+
+  Scenario: The home list links to my recordings when uploads are on
+    Given audio upload is enabled
+    Then the home list links to the recordings page
+
+  Scenario: A full queue is a retry, not an error
+    When too many recordings are already waiting
+    Then the upload is answered as busy, its row is failed honestly and its audio is deleted
+
+  Scenario: One user cannot fill the queue for everyone
+    When one user has several recordings waiting
+    Then further uploads from that user are refused and other users are not affected
+
+  Scenario: Errors are shown as kinds, never their text
+    When a model or an engine fails
+    Then the log, the stored reason and the page carry a kind such as timeout or http_502
+    And never the provider's response, a file path or a word from the transcript
+
+  Scenario: Input that cannot be right is a client error
+    When the id is not an id, or a header or title holds control bytes
+    Then the answer is a 4xx or the title is cleaned, never a server error

+# Tapir — Heuristic Review (Stage-0, sparse + recency-bounded)
+
+_Findings document, not a build spec. The maintainer filters; a spec follows separately.
+Reviewed against `VISION.md` (Stage-0 gate), `docs/ui-spec.md`, `internal/web/views.templ` +
+`view.go`, the prior `UX-REVIEW.md` pass, and the current screenshots. Written for the product
+**as it actually is**: ~283 discovered, ~15 summarized, ~256 in queue behind a respected per-IP
+caption rate limit, ~12 no-captions; single-user (maintainer) with friends pending; recency-
+bounded auto-summarize about to ship (auto = recent ~7d, older browsable + manual on demand)._
+
+## Reviewer stance
+
+The Stage-0 gate is **return usage**. So every finding is judged by one question: does this make
+the maintainer (or a friend) come back to an honestly-sparse feed? The visual layer is already
+decent — dark mode, cards, the constrained reader were all fixed in the prior pass. The open
+problems are **expectation-setting, honesty-of-scale, and the recency feed** — not pixels.
+
+**The single biggest risk:** a new user connects, sees `15 summarized · 256 fetching soon`,
+nothing visibly moves, and never returns. The whole gate dies at that moment. Most P0s below
+attack that one moment.
+
+## Tagging
+
+- **`[NOW]`** — improves the product as it is today (sparse, recency-bounded, single-user). Ships
+  in the upcoming bundle.
+- **`[LATER]`** — improves the product we hope it becomes (abundance, engagement, multiple users).
+  Valuable but premature until real usage validates the core loop.
+
+Severity: 🔴 breaks the core loop · 🟠 hurts it · 🟡 noticeable · 🔵 polish.
+
+---
+
+## P0 — fix before/with the recency ship
+
+### 1. 🔴 Empty-connected state tells the user to run a CLI command they can't run — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** After connecting YouTube, the empty list says: *"Run `tapir run` to discover your
+subscriptions."* A friend on the web has no shell. And post-ADR-018 discovery is an in-process
+scheduled loop — so the instruction is wrong *even for the maintainer*. It is the first thing a
+newly-onboarded user sees, and it is an impossible, stale instruction.
+**Principle.** Match between system and the real world; help users recognize, not be blocked
+(Nielsen #1, #2, #9).
+**Proposal.** Replace with a passive, honest "we're working" state: *"Your account is connected.
+Tapir is finding your subscriptions and fetching captions — summaries appear here gradually. Check
+back later."* No command. No imperative the user can't satisfy.
+**Evidence.** `views.templ` `summaryList` → `.empty-connected`.
+
+### 2. 🔴 No expectation set for *gradual* fill — the return loop breaks at the cliff — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** Captions are rate-limited by design; the backlog trickles over days. Nothing tells
+the user this. A first visit shows few/no summaries and no "come back" framing. The Stage-0 gate
+is literally about returns, and the product never asks for one or explains why patience is
+warranted.
+**Principle.** Visibility of system status (#1). And: the gate can't be cleared if the UX doesn't
+survive first contact.
+**Proposal.** One honest sentence near the pipeline bar / empty state: *"Tapir fetches captions
+slowly on purpose, to respect YouTube's limits. New summaries land gradually — usually best to
+check back tomorrow."* Turns confusing emptiness into intentional design. Highest-leverage change
+in the review.
+
+### 3. 🟠 "256 fetching soon" overstates imminence — a lie of scale — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** The pipeline bar and rate-limited cards both say "fetching soon." For 256 items
+behind a per-IP throttle, "soon" is false — they trickle over days/weeks. Exactly the abundance-
+implying language the mandate forbids, inverted: it makes the *queue* look imminent.
+**Principle.** Honesty of scarcity (project mandate); #1.
+**Proposal.** Relabel by scale. Bar: `15 ready · 256 in queue · 12 no captions`. Card state:
+"In queue" / "Waiting its turn", not "Fetching soon…". Reserve "soon" for items actually next.
+**Evidence.** `views.templ` `pipelineBar`; card State 4.
+
+### 4. 🟠 Recency boundary is invisible in the feed — `[NOW, ships with recency]`
+**Problem.** Once auto-summarize is bounded to ~7d, a 6-month-old pending video and a 2-day-old
+pending video render identically ("Not summarized" + button). But only one is in the auto path;
+the other will *never* process unless clicked. The user can't tell "be patient, this is coming"
+from "this is yours to trigger or ignore."
+**Principle.** Visibility of system status; predictability (#1).
+**Proposal.** Bucket the list into two sections: **Recent** (auto, will fill itself) and
+**Older — browse / summarize on demand**. Card status language should encode *which side of the
+line it's on*, not the pipeline internals. Central IA decision of the recency change.
+
+### 5. 🟠 The un-summarized mass buries the ~15 readable summaries — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** ~268 of 283 cards are not readable (pending / queued / no-captions). Summarized-first
+ordering helps, but the page is still 95% noise below the fold. "Attention is the scarce resource"
+is the product's own principle — and the default view violates it.
+**Principle.** Aesthetic/minimalist design; signal-to-noise (#8).
+**Proposal.** Default view = readable summaries + the Recent bucket. Collapse the older
+un-summarized mass behind *"Show 256 older un-summarized videos."* Collapse the 12 no-caption
+videos into a single line: *"12 videos have no captions"* (terminal, never readable — they don't
+deserve 12 full cards).
+
+---
+
+## P1 — high, near-term
+
+### 6. 🟠 "Summarize now" overpromises against the rate gate — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** Button says "Summarize now" (title: "Summarize this one now"). Backend queues it
+behind the shared per-IP gate. Click 10 older videos and they all sit at "Fetching soon…". The
+verb sells immediacy the system can't honor.
+**Principle.** Honesty; match system/reality (#1).
+**Proposal.** Drop "now" → "Summarize". On click the card should honestly become "Queued" (it
+already can). Optionally show queue position once the queue is real. Don't engineer the gate
+harder — just stop the verb from lying.
+**Evidence.** `views.templ` card States 4 & 5; `handlers.go` `handleRetryNow`,
+`handleRequestSummarize`.
+
+### 7. 🟠 Welcome-page copy is stale and misleading post-ADR-019 — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** Landing sub-copy: *"If you have an invite link, it will set up your account
+automatically."* Invites moved to Authentik (ADR-019); Tapir no longer handles invite links. The
+"Get Started" button goes straight to OIDC. The copy promises a flow that no longer exists.
+**Principle.** Match between system and reality (#2); honesty.
+**Proposal.** Rewrite: *"Tapir is invite-only right now. If you've been invited, sign in below."*
+Single CTA. Also set the gradual-fill expectation here (ties to #2) so it lands before the wall,
+not after.
+**Evidence.** `views.templ` `WelcomePage` → `.welcome-sub`.
+
+### 8. 🟡 "Queued · waiting for the next run" leaks system jargon — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** "the next run" exposes the discovery-loop concept; a user doesn't know what a "run"
+is.
+**Principle.** Speak the user's language (#2).
+**Proposal.** "Queued — summarizing shortly." Hide the scheduler.
+**Evidence.** `views.templ` card State 3.
+
+### 9. 🟡 Filters render before there's anything to filter — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** The fresh/empty state shows the full Channel/From/To/Filter bar *above* "Connect
+YouTube." Power tooling stacked on top of the one action that matters.
+**Principle.** Progressive disclosure; minimalist design (#8).
+**Proposal.** Hide the filter bar when there are 0 rows (and arguably below ~20). Show the connect
+CTA alone.
+**Evidence.** `fixes/03-empty-fresh.png`; `ListPage` renders `filterForm` unconditionally.
+
+### 10. 🟡 Date-range filters are dead weight at this scale — `[NOW]` demote / `[LATER]` rebuild
+**Problem.** From/To date pickers + a free-text exact-match Channel field are corpus-scale tools.
+With 15 summaries they're noise; channel-as-freetext is unguessable. (Confirm the prior review's
+#7 is resolved — that `Channel` shows a real channel name, not the `provider` string; seeded
+screenshots suggest it is, live data may differ.)
+**Principle.** Match tool to task; minimalist design.
+**Proposal.** `[NOW]`: reduce to the "Summarized only" toggle (+ maybe channel chips derived from
+present rows). Drop date pickers until the corpus justifies them. `[LATER]`: real channel facets +
+search when there's volume.
+
+---
+
+## P2 — reading experience & polish
+
+### 11. 🟡 Detail leads with Summary; the attention-saving payload (Takeaways) is last — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** Product promise is "decide what's worth your time." The element that answers that —
+Takeaways / verdict — sits at the bottom. The user reads a full summary to reach the point.
+**Principle.** Lead with the user's actual job-to-be-done.
+**Proposal.** Reorder or add a one-line TL;DR/verdict at top. Takeaways → Highlights → Summary, or
+a "Worth watching?" lede. Data already exists; a reorder, not new machinery.
+**Evidence.** `views.templ` `DetailPage`.
+
+### 12. 🔵 No "back to Summaries" on detail — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** Only the brand returns home, losing any filter context.
+**Proposal.** Explicit "← Summaries" link on the detail page.
+
+### 13. 🔵 Auto/manual toggle copy will be wrong after recency — `[NOW, with recency]`
+**Problem.** Account copy: *"Automatic summarizes every new video as it is discovered."* Becomes
+false once auto is bounded to ~7d.
+**Proposal.** *"Automatic summarizes new videos from the last ~7 days. Older videos stay
+browsable — summarize them on demand."*
+**Evidence.** `views.templ` `AccountPage` summarization section.
+
+### 14. 🔵 Register step asks acceptance of nonexistent terms — `[NOW]`
+**Problem.** "I accept the terms of use" — no terms linked. For a friends-only tool, ceremony
+accepting nothing.
+**Proposal.** Either link real terms or drop the checkbox at this stage.
+**Evidence.** `views.templ` `RegisterPage`.
+
+### 15. 🔵 watched/skipped mutual exclusivity unsignaled — `[NOW]` low
+**Problem.** Three independent-looking buttons; watched↔skipped are exclusive (carryover from
+prior review #14).
+**Proposal.** Segmented control for watched/skipped; keep Saved separate.
+
+---
+
+## `[LATER]` — premature until the core loop is validated
+
+_(abundance / engagement / multiple users)_
+
+- **Return-nudges (digest email / push).** 🔴 **Caution, not just defer.** A notification that
+  drives returns *contaminates the exact signal the gate measures* — VISION wants *unprompted*
+  returns and admits it can't distinguish prompted from organic. Building a nudge now poisons the
+  experiment. Defer until after the gate reads. `[LATER]`
+- **Full-text search across summaries** — needs volume to matter. `[LATER]`
+- **Channel facets / saved filters / sorting** — corpus-scale tooling (#10). `[LATER]`
+- **Read/unread + "new since last visit"** — genuinely helps returns, but only meaningful once
+  there is throughput to be "new." `[LATER]`
+- **Saved/queue view, collections** — engagement surface; no payoff at 15 items. `[LATER]`
+- **Richer card previews (top-takeaway as preview, 2–3 lines)** — triage aid that only pays off
+  with many cards to triage. `[LATER]`
+- **Backlog progress heartbeat ("N summarized this week", queue burn-down)** — rewards returning,
+  but needs real throughput to show motion; a static "last updated X ago" is the only `[NOW]`-worthy
+  slice. `[LATER]`
+- **Onboarding tour / multi-step welcome** — over-built for one user + a few friends. `[LATER]`
+
+---
+
+## What's already right (don't regress)
+
+Pipeline-bar concept, the honest "No transcript available" terminal state, the queued/waiting
+spinner instead of a fake-imminent one, the Unavailable-channels surface, the constrained-width
+reader, dark mode, the account danger-zone behind a disclosure. The honesty instincts are present
+— the P0s are about making that honesty *legible and correctly-scaled*, not adding it.
+
+## Two judgment calls to settle first
+
+1. **#4 (Recent/Older split) and #5 (collapse the older mass) are one decision viewed twice.**
+   Settle the recency-feed IA once and both fall out.
+2. **The return-nudge caution (`[LATER]` list, item 1) is the one to put in writing now** — before
+   someone "helpfully" ships an email digest to juice the gate and destroys the signal.
