- Bob and Dave / Martha and Sally listening stories become their own dialogue
activities; the What-Didn't-You-Hear questions REFERENCE them (the whole
passage no longer sits inside the question prompt)
- Brutus the Cat: the full story is a dialogue activity, and the follow-up
questions REFERENCE it (testers had to answer from memory)
- vocab tags moved to the first line that actually teaches the word
(gate, dog/cat/bird, run/climb inflections, sky)
- long read-only paragraph lines split into sentence-sized cards
(airports, circle definitions, winter yard)
- self-study wording: removed classroom "this week" phrasing

- Restore Linda's Mistake as the printed word-bank task: shared SELECT options,
gapped sentence templates, completed-sentence feedback, and repeat.
- Restore The Other One to DIALOGUE. The source says 'Repeat the sentences';
conversion invented a PRODUCE task and printed the full response in TEMPLATE.

- MISSING_ALTERNATIVES (63/64 applied): uncontracted/contracted forms, digit
variants (05|5), synonyms and full-sentence variants, via ACCEPT lines and
inline gap alternatives; skipped 'better/fine' for the Opposites drill (not
opposites of "sick").
- NOT_DERIVABLE (16 fixed, 10 false alarms, 1 skipped): item-level fixes
(visible word hints, missing premise, speaker clarifications "Joe (to Jim):",
emphasis/cue corrections, un-gapped unguessable words, rounded-number
accepts); converted the two book-10 paragraph clozes (Mary / The Mall) from
CHECK: exact to CHECK: llm with logical-completion rubrics; cross-book
recycled vocab (pilot, teller, barber, variety store, ...) left alone.
- UNCLEAR_TARGET (10): instruction/intro corrections (Food "Type the word for
the food.", Explain-with-Too intro), cue/emphasis fixes.
- Rubric rewrites (57): applied audit-suggested grader rubrics (now effective
with the pre-item RUBRIC parser fix); moved the two per-item rubrics of
book-11 "Write the Main Idea" inside their items.
No clip-bearing line changed; all masters validate (0 errors, 0 new warnings)
and pass stage-master clip-identity checks. Full decision log:

Conversion kept only the tape's confirmation pass ("Now check your
sentences...") as RESPONSE clips, so the gap answers were never audible
during the exercise. Add a PROMPT per item carrying the stimulus pass
("Listen and write", ~12-148s of LLA 1C Figure 6): three short sentences
plus the combined sentence, with clips cut from the figure audio and
ASR-verified against the transcript.

Those items show a group of different shapes and want the CATEGORY word, so a
learner naming the individual shapes — perfectly good English — was marked wrong
with no idea why (Elena). The grader is now told to say so and hint that one word
covers them all.

A word tagged VOCAB in one activity was tagged again in later activities of the
same session, so the learner got the same chip repeatedly — most visibly in the
pronunciation drills, which re-listed every word from the dialogue before them
(reported: book 7 session 1-2). Rule applied: drop a VOCAB whose word was
already tagged in an EARLIER activity of that session. Repeats INSIDE one
activity are kept — those teach distinct senses ('stuck to his finger' vs
'stuck the milk in the fridge', 'shop' as verb then noun). Also dropped chips
for plurals of already-known words in book 7 session 1-2, where the drill
teaches the singular/plural pair rather than new vocabulary. No session lost
all of its vocabulary (verified).

The word-list activity had 'Side. Sides.' on two consecutive lines: the second
reused the SAME audio range as the first but carried the NEXT item's picture, so
the learner saw a triangle and heard 'Side. Sides.' (Elena). The tape says it
once, with silence until 'Triangle.' — the line was invented in conversion.
Scanned all 12 books for the signature (same text + same clip range + different
image): the other 9 hits are legitimate drills asking one repeated question
about different pictures.

The converter tagged the section's THEME word on every line — 'job' four times
was the only VOCAB in the whole session — while the words each line actually
teaches (doctor, nurse, teacher, hospital, mechanic, travel agent, waiter) went
untagged, so the learner got the same chip three times in one dialogue and
again in the next.
