Male-described speakers were mapped to the female voice achernar (and a few
females to schedar) — 210 VOICE swaps across the four regenerated books.
Also: book-11 'Two Letters' now labeled Jane:/Ann: with female voices
instead of one Narrator (Yana's report), and junk auto-declared 'VOICE: ID'
lines dropped.

Full reconversion from book markdown + tape transcripts (probe-first, eval
vs baseline), silence-aware clip slicing, Fable master assembly. All 30
track lessons and all 10 masters validate at 0 errors / 0 warnings; every
master uses 100% of its cassette clips.

Trailing years no longer cut mid-word and starts no longer carry the previous phrase (tester reports on 1c-f2, 1c-f4, 1d-f1).

Remove markdown dividers that were parsed as spoken dialogue and caused lesson TTS requests to time out.

Regenerate every LLA tape lesson from original markdown+transcripts with the
post-review pipeline, select the cleanest candidate per lesson, deterministically
refine/split ranges, and slice fresh clips. All 30 per-track drafts validated at
0 errors / 0 warnings before assembly.
Reassemble weekly masters with Claude Fable (not Gemini), apply gated final
structure repair, and restore any drifted clip-bearing lines from source tracks.
All eight changed masters validate at 0/0, pass stage-master clip identity, and
use 100% of their source cassette clips. Includes the systemic fixes behind
Yana's reports: no Number/Repeat cue leaks, no doubled pronunciation models,
clean split boundaries, audible cloze setup context, apparatus-free feedback,
and properly distributed vocab teaching beats.

Converted, refined, and re-sliced both LLA tracks from the tape with the
tester-round rules (passage->DIALOGUE+REFERENCE splits, vocab on the first
teaching line, sentence-sized read-only cards, merged-beat detection with
best-of-two sampling, repair loop hard-gated on figure coverage).
Book 10 masters now include tape lessons 2C-4D — ten lessons of audio content
the earlier masters never shipped (they used only 1A-2B). All ten masters
lint clean, 100% cassette coverage on every taped lesson.

- 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).
