  note: >
    Whisper has an internal decoder LM; it is NOT a pure acoustic oracle.
    HF beam N-best was dropped (transformers 5.4.0 under python -I returned identical beams and OOMed).

acoustic:
  # crop = approximate target window (greedy word timestamps; interpolated from
  # neighbours if the target was deleted) +/- 0.3 s; decoder sees only the task
  # prefix + candidate word (no sentence context).

decision_log:
  - date: 2026-11-09
    change: homophone alternatives removed from acoustic crop margin; homophone-only targets moved to separate bucket homophone_semantic
    reason: 720 dev homophone targets were labelled acoustically clear only through Whisper spelling prior (plan sec 2.3 requires homophones as a separate class)
    data_used: dev distributions only; no MoE outputs
  - date: 2026-11-09
    change: low_margin kept at 0.7 after dev sweep (0.7/1.0/1.5/2.3 -> low 33/40/55/71 of 3115 dev targets)
    reason: low-context targets are rare in this corpus under any threshold; keep conservative definition, report low-context buckets as exploratory
  - date: 2026-11-11
    change: baseline_error_enriched ignores surface-form variants (surface_equiv_v1)
    reason: root review of strict subset found 44 number-format and spelling variants (seven->7, center->centre) counted as selector errors
    data_used: strict subset audit only; no MoE outputs
  - date: 2026-11-11
    change: surface_equiv_v2 (toward/towards, compounds like break room/breakroom); selector utterance WER > 0.5 -> acoustic unknown
    reason: root spot-check of 8 random strict-test rows found 2 whole-utterance hallucinations ("Thank you for watching.") and 2 surface variants
    data_used: strict subset audit only; no MoE outputs
