mathiasandClaude Sonnet 5.5 0338b18a17 feat(uploads): choose the language of a recording; record it, show it, carry it to the engines (#61)
Form field (Swedish preselected, Other = auto) read before the file part and refused
before anything is spooled if outside the closed set; stored on the row (migration 021,
CHECK constraint, default sv for history); carried on the Job and the worker's context;
shown on the status page. Feature scenarios and the coverage map are updated, and
ADR-033/034 amended.

Feature: Upload an audio recording, get a private Swedish transcript, discuss it
As someone with a recorded meeting on my computer
I want to upload it and then ask questions about what was said
So that I can find out what was decided, what is open and who owes what
# ADR-033, tapir#33. The load-bearing constraint: an uploaded transcript is
# PRIVATE content, so it lives in its own RLS-scoped store and never in the
# shared public-caption `transcripts` table (ADR-021). Rejection is synchronous,
# the audio is never retained, and a failed job ends in a terminal state with a
# message — never a spinner (ADR-025). A file with a video track (a Teams meeting
# with the camera off is one) is accepted: only its audio is used and the user is
# told. Video playback, keyframes and analysis of what is shown remain #28.
Background:
Given I am a registered user with audio upload enabled
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
Scenario: I choose the language of a recording
When I upload a recording and choose Swedish or Other on the form
Then the recording is transcribed as that language and its page says which
Scenario: Swedish stays the default
When an upload names no language
Then it is transcribed as Swedish, as before the choice existed
Scenario: A language outside the list is refused
When an upload names a language the form does not offer
Then it is answered 400 before anything is stored or sent to an engine
Scenario: A recording in another language never reaches the Swedish-only engine
When I choose Other for a recording
Then the language is left for the engine to detect and no Swedish-only engine or reconcile is used
