Summary

Five measured findings from the #217 pass, salvaged onto current main. That branch is 356 commits behind and its document is half-stale (leads 1 and 3 landed since); these are the parts that did not land and are still correct today. Grouped by provenance rather than by subsystem — each is a few lines, and splitting them would cost more review than it saves.

Two are bugs:

  • zoomPlacement double-counted stacked zooms. The denominator summed the per-hit spans while the numerator intersected them. Rule 2 in timelineMap.ts forbids two zooms from overlapping, but only setZoom goes through the clamp that enforces it (replacePillSpan) — addZoom appends (agent-tools.ts:1349) — so an agent can stack zooms, and editorial.ts carries an overlap check precisely because it happens. On such a document the shared seconds were counted twice below the line and once above it, and precision read low for a reason with nothing to do with placement. The new L0 case is pinned in both directions: it reads 10 instead of 7 without the fix.

  • The workbench turn timeout raced the harness. vitest.workbench.config.ts hardcoded 120 s while DEFAULT_TURN_TIMEOUT_MS moved to 300 s, so vitest killed a live turn before runTurn could classify it — a dead worker where the run should have recorded a TIMEOUT verdict. Now derived from the harness constant and deliberately above it.

Three are missing signal:

  • buildCursorTrack's ceiling is soft and did not say so. maxPoints budgets the rate and the gap floor; the mandatory points (first and last sample, pointer-shape changes, non-move events, the ends of a parked run) are exempt and stack on top, so a capture rich in them landed over budget silently. Reported through a new overBudget, absent when the budget held. Not prevented — dropping a shape change to stay under is the one thing the track must never do. It is a separate field from truncated on purpose: that one says "you are seeing less than you asked for", this one says the opposite.

  • A missing Whisper helper left no trace in the main process. recordError wrote only to lastError, read by the status getter that nothing on the transcribe path calls. The renderer already toasts the failure; the log now carries a [stt] line someone can point at in a bug report. The manual checklist item is updated to match — its 2026-07-31 observation is no longer accurate.

  • workbench/README.md contradicted the suite it documents. It still quoted 356 points / 24 238 characters for getCursorTrack; l0/real-fixture.wb.ts has asserted 148 / 7 797 since the keyframe reduction landed. Both the README and lib/real-fixture.ts also sent readers to workbench/fixtures/README.md — inside a gitignored folder, so that file exists in no clone. Provenance now lives in the README itself, next to the consequence a fresh clone actually hits: 44 L0 tests fail on the absent fixture, and nothing in CI says so because CI does not run the workbench.

Also included: the out-and-back regression test for simplifyAxis — the trajectory that separates per-axis-against-time simplification from path-space, which the monotonic traverse cannot — and the overfitting guard rail in the workbench README, where it will be read at the moment someone reaches for the prompt.

Testing

Run in this branch, on a clone with no workbench/fixtures/:

  • npx vitest --run src/lib/ai-edition/timeline/cursor-track.test.ts — 14 passed (3 new)
  • npx vitest --run electron/stt electron/ai-edition/agent-tools.test.ts electron/ai-edition/deep-agent/service.test.ts — 206 passed
  • npx vitest --run --config vitest.workbench.config.ts workbench/l0 — 44 failed / 215 passed; the 44 are the pre-existing absent-fixture ENOENT, identical before and after this change, and are exactly the number the README now documents
  • The new oracle case was checked against the unfixed code: reverting the mergeSpans line makes it fail with expected 10 to be close to 7
  • npm run docs:check — OK (31 files)
  • npx biome check on the touched trees — clean
  • npx tsc --noEmit, npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit, npm run wb:typecheck — no error in any touched file (this worktree reports 6 pre-existing TS2307 for uninstalled deps: electron-updater, @tiptap/*, i18next)

whisperServer.ts changes one log line and is covered by electron/stt/whisperServer.test.ts; the absent-binary path itself is manual, and the checklist item for it is updated in this PR.

Thanks — all three checked against the code. Two were right and are fixed in 9f251db6; the third has a premise that does not hold, and I have taken the suggestion anyway for a different reason. Detail below so the next reader is not left guessing which is which.

1. Duplicate [stt] on a startup death — correct, fixed

Confirmed. Both handlers sit on the same exit event and fire in registration order: the listener at whisperServer.ts:281 records exited with code N; stderr=…, then the promise that same exit rejects reaches the startup catch, which records whisper-stt-server exited during startup (N); stderr=…. One event, two differently-worded lines — the opposite of what adding the line was for.

The double write predates this branch; making it a log is what surfaced it. Fixed by giving the listener ownership of the log for a death it has already reported, while the catch still writes the field, because its message is the more specific of the two and status.lastError should end up holding it. Detected with this.process !== child, read before stop() nulls it either way.

The important half is that this must not silence the only voice on a failure nothing else sees. A readiness timeout leaves the child in place, so alreadyLogged is false and the catch logs it — that path is pinned by its own test.

Both directions are covered by two new tests. With the fix reverted, the first one fails and prints exactly what it should:

AssertionError: lignes [stt] émises : [
  "[stt] exited with code 3; stderr=could not open model",
  "[stt] whisper-stt-server exited during startup (3); stderr=could not open model"
]: expected [ …(2) ] to have a length of 1 but got 2

2. Wrong author for the missing-binary sentence — correct, fixed

Also confirmed, and it was my error. whisper-stt-server binary not found; build it via scripts/build-whisper-stt.sh is a string literal at whisperServer.ts:227, on the branch where resolveBinaryPath() came back empty — no helper process has started at that point, so it cannot be helper output. A tester following the checklist would have gone looking at helper stderr and found nothing. The item now names the app as the author, quotes the sentence, and names helper stderr as the separate source it is — for a helper that did start.

3. onZoneSec — the stated failure mode does not hold; assertion added anyway

The finding says that if numerator and denominator both double-count, precision stays 1 and the test still passes. The first half is right and the second is not: the test also asserts zoomSec, which the review did not account for.

Simulated, by summing on both sides — zoomSec as a plain sum and onZoneSec as the sum of per-span intersections:

AssertionError: expected 10 to be close to 7, received difference is 3

precision is indeed 1 (10/10) and the test fails regardless. So the case was already covered.

I have added the onZoneSec assertion all the same, for a reason worth stating explicitly rather than by silent agreement: a reader should be able to see what the oracle counts on each side of the ratio without deducing one term from the other. That is a legibility argument, not a coverage gap — and recording the difference matters, because a future review that takes "this test had a hole" as settled would be starting from something untrue.

…rom the harness

Five measured findings from the #217 pass, salvaged onto current main. Grouped
by provenance rather than by subsystem: each is a few lines, and splitting them
would cost more review than it saves.

- `zoomPlacement` summed the per-hit spans for its denominator while the
  numerator intersected them. Rule 2 in `timelineMap.ts` forbids two zooms from
  overlapping, but only `setZoom` goes through the clamp that enforces it —
  `addZoom` appends — so an agent can stack zooms, and on such a document the
  shared seconds were counted twice below the line and once above it. Precision
  read low for a reason that had nothing to do with placement. The new L0 case
  is pinned in both directions: it reads 10 instead of 7 without the fix.

- `vitest.workbench.config.ts` hardcoded a 120 s timeout while the harness moved
  to 300 s, so vitest killed a live turn before `runTurn` could classify it — a
  dead worker where the run should have recorded a TIMEOUT verdict. Derived from
  `DEFAULT_TURN_TIMEOUT_MS` now, and deliberately above it.

- `buildCursorTrack`'s ceiling is soft: the mandatory points (first and last
  sample, shape changes, non-move events, the ends of a parked run) are exempt
  from `maxPoints` and stack on top, so a capture rich in them landed over the
  budget silently. Reported through a new `overBudget`, absent when the budget
  held. Not prevented — dropping a shape change to stay under is the one thing
  the track must never do.

- `whisperServer` recorded its failures into `lastError`, which is read by the
  `status` getter that nothing on the transcribe path calls. A missing helper
  binary left no trace anywhere in the main process. The renderer already
  toasts; the log now carries a `[stt]` line someone can point at.

- `workbench/README.md` still quoted 356 points / 24 238 characters for
  `getCursorTrack`, which the suite itself stopped asserting when the keyframe
  reduction landed — it asserts 148 / 7 797. Both it and `lib/real-fixture.ts`
  also sent readers to `workbench/fixtures/README.md`, inside a gitignored
  folder, so the file exists in no clone. The provenance now lives in the README
  itself, next to the consequence a fresh clone actually hits: 44 L0 tests fail
  on the absent fixture, and nothing in CI says so.

Also adds the out-and-back regression test for `simplifyAxis` — the trajectory
that separates per-axis-against-time simplification from path-space, which the
monotonic traverse cannot — and the overfitting guard rail to the workbench
README, where it will be read at the moment someone reaches for the prompt.
Review follow-ups on the three findings raised against this branch.

- A helper that dies before readiness reached `recordError` TWICE: once from
  the `exit` listener, once from the startup catch that the same exit rejects.
  Two differently-worded `[stt]` lines for one event teaches a reader to skim
  the log — the opposite of what adding the line was for. The listener now owns
  the log for a death it already reported; the catch still writes the field,
  because its message is the more specific of the two and that is what
  `status.lastError` should end up holding. A readiness TIMEOUT leaves the
  child in place and is still logged from the catch, which is the only place
  that sees it at all. Both directions are pinned.

- The manual checklist credited the missing-binary sentence to the helper. It
  is a string literal in `whisperServer.ts`, written on the branch where the
  binary does not exist — no helper process has started at that point. A tester
  told to look at helper output would have looked in the wrong place. Helper
  stderr is named as the separate source it is.

- `zoomPlacement`'s numerator is now asserted beside its denominator. The
  reviewer's stated failure mode does not hold — simulating a double count on
  BOTH sides still fails the existing `zoomSec` assertion, which the review did
  not account for — but reading the oracle's two terms should not require
  deducing one of them from a ratio.
The version just pushed used fake timers around the whole `start()` call. That
deadlocked on Linux CI while passing on Windows: `advanceTimersByTimeAsync`
flushes microtasks, but `pickFreePort` waits on real socket I/O that fake timers
do not drive, so the promise never settled and vitest cut the test at 15 s.

`pollUntilReady` bounds itself with `Date.now()`, so a clock that leaps 60 s per
reading walks past the 30 s deadline by itself — no fake timers, nothing that
has to also drive real I/O, and the test lands in milliseconds on either
platform. Restores are targeted rather than `restoreAllMocks()`, which would
have taken the file-level `spawn` stub the next test relies on.

Comment thread electron/stt/whisperServer.ts
The de-duplication in the previous commit covered a helper that dies by `exit`
and missed the sibling branch: `error`. The `exitedBeforeReady` race rejects on
both, so a spawn failure reached the startup catch exactly the same way — and
because the `error` listener never cleared `this.process`, that catch could not
tell the failure had already been reported and logged it again in different
words. Reproduced before fixing:

    ["[stt] spawn error: spawn EACCES", "[stt] spawn EACCES"]

The listener now carries the same guard and the same state clearing as its
`exit` twin. That is also just true independently of the log: a child that never
spawned is not a helper that is up, and `status.running` said it was.

Audited the remaining `recordError` callers while here. The two pre-spawn ones
(binary absent, binary not executable) throw straight out of `start()` before a
child exists, so neither can reach the startup catch; the two listeners are now
symmetric; the catch is the only de-duplicating caller. Nothing else can double.

Correct, and it is my own fix left half-done — pushed as 576bdd60.

The de-duplication in 9f251db6 covered a helper that dies by exit and missed the sibling branch. exitedBeforeReady rejects on both exit and error, so a spawn failure reached the startup catch by exactly the same route; because the error listener never cleared this.process, that catch could not tell the failure had already been reported. Reproduced before touching anything:

AssertionError: lignes [stt] émises : [
  "[stt] spawn error: spawn EACCES",
  "[stt] spawn EACCES"
]: expected [ …(2) ] to have a length of 1 but got 2

The listener now carries the same guard and the same state clearing as its exit twin. Worth saying that the clearing is right on its own merits, independently of the log: a child that never spawned is not a helper that is up, and status.running was reporting that it was. The new test asserts both — one [stt] line, and status.running === false.

Since this is the second time the same defect turned up one branch over, I audited every recordError caller rather than wait to be told a third time:

caller can it reach the startup catch?
binary absent (:239) no — throws out of start() before any child exists
binary not executable (:250) no — same
exit listener (:300) yes, and clears the state so the catch stays quiet
error listener (:314) yes — this one, now symmetric with its twin
startup catch (:351) it is the de-duplicating caller

Nothing else can double. The negative direction stays pinned by the readiness-timeout test: nothing exits there, so the catch is the only voice and must not be silenced.

One thing I will not claim clean: on the first full electron/ run after this change I saw a single failure I did not manage to attribute — the summary line reported it, the reporter printed no FAIL block, and eight subsequent runs (3× the full tree, 5× whisperServer.test.ts) were green. So I cannot tell you what it was, only that I could not reproduce it and that it is not something I have chased down.

Comment thread electron/stt/whisperServer.test.ts Outdated
`AGENTS.md` requires a `process.platform` read in a test to pin the platform,
because CI is Linux-only and an unpinned gate is a branch nobody exercises. The
five `win32 ? "whisper-stt-server.exe" : "whisper-stt-server"` filenames in this
file were worse than unpinned: they were inert. Every test here hands `start()`
an explicit `binaryPath`, which is precisely the branch that skips
`resolveBinaryPath()`, so the name never reaches anything that reads it.

Three of the five arrived with this branch; the other two are older and are
fixed in the same pass rather than left behind, because two spellings of the
same dead ternary in one file is a question the next reader has to answer.
`process.platform` now appears nowhere in the file except where a test pins it
outright with `Object.defineProperty`.

Right, and worse than unpinned — those ternaries were inert. Fixed in 412a7231.

Every test in this file hands start() an explicit binaryPath, which is precisely the branch that skips resolveBinaryPath(), so the filename never reaches anything that reads it. Both spellings resolve to a file the test just wrote, on either platform. It was a process.platform read that decided nothing, which is the failure mode the guideline exists to prevent: it looks like platform coverage while pinning nothing and exercising nothing.

Scope note, declared rather than slipped in: the finding was against line 568, one of the three tests this branch added. I removed all five, including the two that predate this PR (spawns whisper-stt-server with --model, refuses to start when the model file is missing). They are dead for the identical reason, and leaving two spellings of the same dead ternary in one file is a question the next reader has to answer for no benefit. If you would rather this branch touched only its own three, say so and I will split it out.

process.platform now appears nowhere in whisperServer.test.ts except where a test pins it outright with Object.defineProperty — the two GPU/CPU-fallback tests, which pin linux and restore it.
