An audio file used to produce no memory at all: _ingest_file returned an empty batch for any suffix it did not know, with no log and no reason. It now raises UnsupportedFile when you name the file and records a SkippedFile when it was a directory walk, so a refusal is visible either way. Speech is measured, not promised. Over 210.5 seconds of real Video-MME audio, faster-whisper-tiny on CPU int8 transcribed at 51x realtime and reached word error rate 0.242 against community subtitles nobody here wrote (a caption track drops words a transcript keeps, so that is an upper bound). 66 speech atoms now carry 550 word-level timestamps, 0 words out of order and 0 starting before their own segment. The snapshot is 78.2 MB, under the 500 MB cap, and the report is bench/reports/ASR.md. Two library facts were measured rather than assumed. faster-whisper's own audio loader is broken against PyAV 19 (av.open got an unexpected keyword 'metadata_errors') and it declares av with no version bound, so asr.decode_audio decodes with PyAV directly and hands the model a float32 array instead of pinning an old av with no cp314 wheel. And av.Error does not exist on PyAV 19 - the real base is av.error.FFmpegError - so that is the only thing caught and my own ValueErrors keep their messages. Files over the 500-line rule were split rather than excused: ingestion.py (748) into ingestion_common / ingestion_media / ingestion_repository / ingestion, and cli.py (544) into cli_senses plus cli_common, following the cli_transactive register pattern. MediaIngest declares _source_record abstract, so a half-wired host fails at construction instead of returning None. Verification: 207 tests pass; ruff clean on the 13 touched files; mypy clean on them, and repo-wide mypy fell from 29 errors to 24 (5 fixed, none added); pyright reports 0 errors on the touched files.

Over 3 videos and 210.5 seconds of audio: word error rate **0.242** against captions nobody here wrote, 66 speech atoms carrying 550 word-level timestamps, 0 words out of order and 0 starting before their own segment.

A caption track drops words a transcript keeps, so this WER is an upper bound on the model's real error. The point of the run is not the number: before this change an audio file produced no memory at all, and every word here now has an instant attached to it.
