asry 0.1.0

//! WhisperX-faithful trellis + beam-search backtracker.
//!
//! Ports WhisperX `alignment.py`:
//! - `get_trellis(emission, tokens, blank_id)` — forward DP that
//! builds a `(T, num_tokens)` lattice. Each cell `trellis[t, j]`
//! is the best log-prob to consume the first `t` frames while
//! sitting at character position `j`.
//! - `get_wildcard_emission(frame_emission, tokens, blank_id)` —
//! for tokens with id `-1` (wildcards), use
//! `max(non_blank_logprobs)` at that frame so chars the model
//! doesn't have a vocab entry for can still be aligned.
//! - `backtrack_beam(trellis, emission, tokens, blank_id,
//! beam_width=2)` — beam search over (t, j) states with the
//! "stay" / "change" transitions.
//! - `merge_repeats(path, transcript)` — char-level segments by
//! token_index group.
//! - `merge_words(segments, separator="|")` — group char segments
//! by `|`-separator into word segments with duration-weighted
//! score.
//!
//! The trellis here is intentionally shaped exactly like WhisperX's
//! (`(T, num_tokens)`); the `state_per_frame` lattice the legacy
//! Viterbi exposed is gone. Composition consumes the higher-level
//! `WordSegment`s directly, so the lattice-state encoding never
//! reaches `compose.rs`.
//!
//! Asry-specific concerns kept here:
//! - **Watchdog / abort flag** — checked once per frame row in the
//! forward DP and once per beam-step iteration so a pathological
//! token sequence × T pair can't hold the caller past its
//! timeout — the `alignment`-feature pool's `align_timeout`, or an
//! `emissions`-only caller's own `abort_flag` deadline.
//! - **Lattice cell budget** — caps `T × num_tokens` at 32 M cells
//! so a hallucinated long token list against a long chunk turns
//! into an in-band `NoAlignmentPath` failure rather than an OOM.
//! - **Vocab-id bounds checks** — every real token id and the
//! blank id must fit in the model's vocab dim; a tokenizer-vs-
//! model mismatch surfaces as `::TokenizationFailed`
//! / `ModelInferenceFailed` rather than a panicking out-of-bounds
//! read.

  // token's posterior therefore never appears in any cell of the
  // trellis: only `tokens[1..]` enter the recurrence, and column
  // 0's only contribution is the leading-blank cumsum.
  //
  // This MIRRORS WhisperX 1:1. WhisperX's `get_trellis`
  // (`whisperx/alignment.py:387-404`) writes:
  //
  // trellis[t + 1, 1:] = torch.maximum(
  // trellis[t, 1:] + emission[t, blank_id],
  // trellis[t, :-1] + get_wildcard_emission(
  // emission[t], tokens[1:], blank_id),
  // )
  //
  // The slice `tokens[1:]` (broadcast against `trellis[t, :-1]`
  // and stored at `trellis[t+1, 1:]`) means column `j` reads
  // `tokens[j]` — exactly what we replicate at line 290 below.
  // No leading sentinel is ever prepended to `tokens` upstream
  // (see `whisperx/alignment.py:235`,
  // `tokens = [model_dictionary.get(c, -1) for c in text_clean]`).
  //
  // Why this looks wrong but is what we want anyway:
  //
  // 1. PARITY IS THE PRIMARY SUCCESS METRIC. The whole alignment
  // subsystem was built and validated against WhisperX bit-
  // exactly (median IoU 0.9955–0.9990 across the dia
  // fixtures, 0 below-0.5 outliers in 854 word pairs).
  // Diverging from `tokens[1:]` to score `tokens[0]` would
  // re-shift every word's start-of-word frame and silently
  // invalidate that calibration. No fixture would tell us the
  // new path is "right" — only that it differs from WhisperX.
  //
  // 2. THE DIVERGENCE IN PRACTICE IS SMALL. The CTC alignment is
  // forced (transcript is given), so `tokens[0]` is implicitly
  // pinned to the chunk start by the column-0 → column-1
  // transition; only the exact frame at which that transition
  // fires is biased. For multi-character tokens the bias is
  // drowned out by the surrounding posteriors. For single-
  // token transcripts the trellis is degenerate anyway
  // (column 0's blank cumsum is the only legal path).
  //
  // 3. CHANGING THE INDEXING IS NOT A LOCAL FIX. Both `get_trellis`
  // and `backtrack_beam` consume the same convention (the
  // backtracker indexes into `tokens` via the column index it
  // just descended from). A real correction would need to
  // grow the trellis to `(T, num_tokens + 1)` and adjust
  // every `state.j` arithmetic in the backtracker — and would
  // still need a side-by-side parity rerun to confirm we hadn't
  // broken anything else.
  //
  // If WhisperX upstream ever fixes this, we can adopt the change
  // and rerun parity. Until then, "match WhisperX" trumps "match
  // textbook CTC". The companion regression test
  // `tokens_zeroth_emission_does_not_affect_trellis` (in `mod
  // tests` below) pins this behaviour so a future "cleanup" PR
  // can't silently re-introduce the divergence.

      // when emitting the BeamState struct, so the dataclass's
      // `score` field carries the predecessor value not
      // `predecessor + p_emission`. Sorting against that field

      // "store argmax predecessors during trellis construction".
      // That would also fold `p_emission` into the backtracking

      // reason. Both options reduce to the same code path.
