cjm-transcript-decomp-core

A frontend-agnostic core for the transcript decomposition workflow — composes isolated capability workers (forced alignment, VAD, graph storage) into a headless pipeline that decomposes transcription run manifests into a VAD-aligned context-graph spine with traceable provenance, and a CLI as its first driver.

Modules

• cjm_transcript_decomp_core
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.alignment — Pure forced-alignment logic (no capability calls): map FA words back to character spans in the original text, assign words to VAD chunks by timestamp, and build one text segment per VAD chunk. Extracted from the page-centric ForcedAlignmentService (Tier-1 logic).
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.cli — The CLI driver — the decomposition core's first (and currently only) frontend.
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.discovery — Capability-role discovery by manifest surface match — the journaling-by-
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.graph — Graph-spine EXTENSION + skeptical-lens verification (stage 5, CR-18 revolution 2). Decomp no longer creates a Document: it RECOMPUTES the transcription-emitted root's deterministic node ids from the consumed manifest (no search), verifies the root exists, and attaches the fine Segment spine under the existing AudioSegment nodes — PART_OF to the owning rendition, STARTS_WITH per rendition (the coarse-seam jump anchor), source-wide NEXT. Each Segment carries the audio TimeSlice ref plus per-transcriber CharSlice refs into the Transcript nodes (the D4/P10 framing, finally expressible). Commit goes through the layer's idempotent extend_graph.
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.launch — The shared launch surface every decomp shell drives through: the argument
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.models — Lean data shapes for the transcript-decomposition pipeline: in-core mirrors of the forced-alignment / VAD / text DTOs (no FastHTML deps), run configuration, the committed graph-segment carrier, and the decomposition run manifest (proto-bundle).
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.pipeline — The headless decomposition pipeline (stage 5: decomp is an EXTENDER). Load a transcription run manifest, verify the transcription-emitted graph root exists (the graph begins at transcription), then per source per pipeline-segment run VAD + per-transcriber forced alignment, build one aligned segment per VAD chunk with per-transcriber text variants, and attach the fine spine under the existing AudioSegment nodes via the layer's idempotent extend_graph — with HITL approval seams between alignment, commit, and the next source.
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.runs — Run-manifest indexes for the decomp-batch TUI (work item 0ff6bf0f): the
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.segments — Fine-segment inspection for the decomp TUI (work item 166dd2b8, half a):
• cjm_transcript_decomp_core.state — Sidecar TUI state: last-used batch settings persisted across sessions (the
