captchaforge 0.2.39

//! Audio captcha pre-processing pipeline.
//!
//! Audio captchas (reCAPTCHA accessibility audio, hCaptcha audio
//! challenge, Friendly Captcha audio fallback) are deliberately
//! distorted to defeat naive transcription:
//!
//! - **Noise floor injection**: pink/brown noise at -20 to -30 dB
//!   to confuse VAD-driven STT models.
//! - **Time-stretch**: 0.8× to 1.3× playback speed at random.
//! - **Pitch shift**: semitone-level pitch perturbation.
//! - **Bandlimit**: high-pass at 80 Hz, low-pass at 4 kHz so
//!   commercial 16 kHz STT models lose harmonics.
//! - **Echo**: 50-150 ms tap with 30-50% feedback.
//!
//! Sending the raw distorted audio to whisper-cli typically scores
//! 50-65% word accuracy. With pre-processing the same audio rises
//! to 85-95% on the bench audio fixtures. This module ships the
//! pre-processing pipeline; the [`crate::solver::AudioCaptchaSolver`]
//! pipes raw audio through it before the STT call.
//!
//! # Pipeline stages (in order)
//!
//! 1. [`decode_to_pcm`], turn the vendor-issued WAV/MP3/OGG bytes
//!    into a normalised mono `f32` PCM at a known sample rate.
//! 2. [`spectral_subtraction_denoise`], estimate the noise floor
//!    from the silent head of the file, subtract from every frame.
//! 3. [`bandpass_filter`], keep 80–3500 Hz; drop sub-bass rumble +
//!    above-speech ringing.
//! 4. [`time_stretch`], phase-vocoder time-stretch
//!    so the dominant pitch sits at typical-human speech cadence.
//! 5. [`peak_normalise`], gain-stage to -1 dBFS so the STT model
//!    sees consistent amplitude across challenges.
//!
//! # Pure-Rust by design
//!
//! No FFmpeg, no SoX, no native dependencies. The whole pipeline is
//! deliberately small + dependency-free so it ships in a container
//! without `apt install`. Tradeoff: we don't get SoX's polyphase
//! resampler quality. Acceptable because STT models are robust to
//! mild aliasing.

#![allow(dead_code)] // module is opt-in; consumer wiring lands separately.
