Claude Code auto-loads CLAUDE.md (uppercase) at startup. On macOS/Windows
(case-insensitive FS), claude.md resolves fine. On Linux (ext4/btrfs),
it's a different file and never gets loaded — meaning all project
directives, delegation rules, and context recovery instructions were
silently missing on this workstation. This explains the behavioral
differences vs the Mac.

- Fine-grained speaker analysis (3s windows, 1s hop) across 42min episode
- Host voice: 0.90-0.98 similarity (clear positive match)
- Callers: 0.65-0.68 (correctly below threshold)
- Produced audio/clips: 0.53-0.65 (correctly identified as non-host)
- Co-host/other speakers: 0.56-0.62 (correctly identified)
- Tuned host_match_threshold from 0.75 to 0.83 based on empirical data
- Cross-referenced dips with transcript: correctly identifies callers,
show intros, played audio clips, and station breaks
- Batch transcription of 7 additional training episodes in progress

- Voice profiler using microsoft/wavlm-base-sv (512-dim x-vector embeddings)
- Bootstrap from archive: 180 embeddings from 9 episodes across 2010-2018
- Host identification accuracy: 0.87-0.98 similarity for live speech,
0.60-0.64 for non-host audio (produced intros, co-host)
- Dropped speechbrain dependency (requires torchaudio, CUDA version conflicts)
- Patched torchaudio CUDA 12.8/13.1 version check (warning instead of error)
- Profile stored in voice-profiles/mike-swanson/ with per-chunk embeddings

Diagnosed terrible speaker quality on CachyOS - kernel using legacy HDA
driver instead of SOF, leaving AW88399 smart amp without DSP processing.
Fixed EasyEffects routing, created aggressive EQ preset, forced SOF via
modprobe config. Reboot pending to test.
