SOURCE VERIFICATION

Three files were merged by role. Each was read end to end before any correction was made.

Input	Blocks	Role in the merge
_SourceBaselines/Allan_parakeet.srt	333	Block shape, timing, coverage. Supplies the skeleton
_SourceBaselines/Allan_whisperkit.srt	69	Text and terminology
Ingest/Cut Flower Symposium 2026/Allan Armitage.srt	70	Speaker names only

• Skeleton blocks: 333 (Parakeet)
• Corrected blocks: 333 ✓ MATCH CONFIRMED
• Time range: 00:00:00,240 to 00:16:37,720
• Media: Allan.mp4, 997.418 s (16:37.418), measured with ffprobe
• Runtime: ~16 minutes 37 seconds
• File reading: COMPLETE ✓ (all three inputs read in full: 333, 69, and 70 blocks; no truncation)
• Coverage proof:
  • Early [~1:29]: Armitage says he is on holiday in North Carolina and agreed to record because “if you have people like Rich and Bethany on your tail, you better say yes”
  • Middle [~8:14]: The association pitch, its quarterly, its listserv, its Cut Flowers of the Year lists, farm visits including one at the Three Porch Farm, and more than 2,500 members
  • Late [~14:52]: “The plants are important. Information is valuable. But it’s really all about the people,” followed by the credit to his co-author on the newest book

Media Coverage Check

Run against Allan.mp4 before any correction work.

Measure	Value
Media duration	997.418 s
Merged SRT covered time	971.738 s
Coverage	97.43 %
Untranscribed gaps over 3 s	none
Untranscribed gaps over 1 s	2
Head before first block	0.240 s
Tail after last block	none. The last block ends 0.302 s past the media
Block starts out of clock order	none
Block starts past the end of the media	none

Both gaps over one second were checked by reading the text on either side and then cross-checked against the WhisperKit pass.

Gap	Text before	Text after	Verdict
00:07:16,740 to 00:07:17,940 (1.200 s)	“Now, I know that all of you, if you’ve been here for"	"10 years or whatever doing your thing.”	Mid-sentence pause. WhisperKit breaks at the same place, and the two halves read as one continuous sentence. No speech missing
00:15:10,200 to 00:15:11,200 (1.000 s)	“the people who are supporting you, maybe loving you, are"	"ready to listen.”	Pause before the payoff word. WhisperKit covers the same span across a 0.08-second seam with identical wording. No speech missing

No block ends mid-word anywhere in the file.

The 302-millisecond overrun at the end

Block 333 runs 00:16:35,320 to 00:16:37,720. The media ends at 997.418 s, so the block’s end timestamp sits 0.302 s past it. Its start is 2.098 s inside the media, so this is not the past-the-end hallucination logged on the Riner segment. It is a rounding overrun on the final block of the last spoken sentence, and the speech it carries (“So check those resources out”) is real and confirmed by both engines.

Timestamps are not altered under any circumstance, so it stays. Worth noting for anyone importing this file as a caption track: the final cue outlasts the video by a third of a second.

Merge Method

Parakeet supplied the skeleton. All 333 sequence numbers and all 666 timestamp values were copied from Allan_parakeet.srt and never touched. A programmatic diff confirms every index line and every timestamp line in the corrected file is byte-identical to the Parakeet source: zero mismatches across 333 blocks.

WhisperKit supplied the text. Its 69 coarse blocks were mapped onto the Parakeet block boundaries. Where the two engines produced different words, WhisperKit won unless the floriculture correction table or the surrounding text proved it wrong. The exceptions are tabled below.

The GUI export supplied only the two names, Allan Armitage and Bethany Harris. Both CLI runs emit Speaker 1 through Speaker 3.

Word accounting after the merge: 3,086 words in the corrected file, against 3,124 in Parakeet and 3,065 in WhisperKit. The corrected file sits between the two because Parakeet’s preserved stutters were removed and WhisperKit’s dropped spans were restored.

The extra block in the GUI export, found

The GUI export has 70 blocks against WhisperKit’s 69, and both end at 00:16:37,019. The extra block is a mid-file split at the handoff, not a past-the-end hallucination.

WhisperKit block 3 runs 00:00:46,340 to 00:01:04,260 and carries the tail of the recorded bio and Armitage’s first line inside one block. The GUI export splits that span into its block 3 (00:00:46,340 to 00:00:59,760, Bethany Harris) and block 4 (00:00:59,900 to 00:01:04,260, Allan Armitage). Everything after that runs one index ahead of WhisperKit through to the end.

The GUI export is right about that boundary and WhisperKit is not. It is also the only one of the three files that gets the opening handoff onto a block edge.

The recorded bio plays twice

Blocks 1 through 12 are the same 30-second recorded introduction, played through once from 00:00:00,240 to 00:00:30,460 and again from 00:00:30,640 to 00:00:59,899. All three source files transcribe it twice at the two different time ranges, so it is in the media, not an engine artifact. Both passes are kept.

Stage 5 should treat this as a single recorded introduction with a restart, not as two sections.

Two WhisperKit artifacts, excluded structurally

Both appear in the GUI export as well, since it is the same engine run.

WhisperKit block	Span	Text	What is actually there
21	00:03:57,820 to 00:03:58,720	”And I’m going to talk a little bit about some of the national organizations as well.”	A verbatim repeat of its own block 15, dropped in 29 seconds earlier and out of clock order. Parakeet has “Get on her website” across that span
42	00:10:59,480 to 00:10:59,579	”And then you go.”	A 99-millisecond echo of “and away you go” from its block 41, also out of clock order. Parakeet covers the span inside block 214

Neither was carried into the merge, and neither required a deletion: the corrected file is built on the Parakeet skeleton and Parakeet produced no such blocks.

Three spans WhisperKit dropped and Parakeet caught

WhisperKit has three gaps of three seconds or more. Parakeet fills all three, which is the coverage argument for the merge method stated plainly.

WhisperKit gap	Length	What Parakeet has there
00:00:42,199 to 00:00:46,340	4.141 s	Block 10, the book titles in the second pass of the recorded bio
00:02:48,100 to 00:02:53,420	5.320 s	Blocks 49 and 50, “The idyllic life. Hold on, don’t do this to me.” and “Okay, I’m a flower farmer.”
00:09:27,060 to 00:09:30,060	3.000 s	Block 177, “Herbaceous, woody, bulb, and foliage.”

WhisperKit’s own coverage is 95.18 %, against Parakeet’s 97.43 %.

Speaker Mapping and Boundary Verification

Parakeet’s three diarization labels were mapped to real names, then every boundary was checked against content.

Parakeet label	Blocks	Mapped to	Basis
Speaker 1	1 to 12	Bethany Harris	Recorded bio narration, third person about Armitage. The GUI export labels the same span Bethany Harris
Speaker 2	13 to 331	Allan Armitage	First person throughout, “I’m on holiday here,” “my website,” “my colleague”
Speaker 1	332	Bethany Harris	Same voice cluster as the bio narration, and the line is third person about Armitage
Speaker 3	333	Bethany Harris, override	See below

The opening boundary is confirmed by two independent files. Parakeet block 12 ends at 00:00:59,899 and block 13 begins at 00:01:00,140. The GUI export puts its split at 00:00:59,760 and 00:00:59,900. Both land in the same quarter-second window, and the content is unambiguous: block 12 is third-person bio copy, block 13 is “Good day everybody.”

The closing boundary is where the GUI export fails. Its block 70 runs 00:16:18,320 to 00:16:37,019 under the single label “Allan Armitage” and swallows the moderator’s closing. The last thing Armitage says is “All right” at block 331. Block 332 is “Dropped his website and the promo code walkabout into the chat,” which is third person about Armitage and cannot be him. This is the label-lag pattern already logged on five of the seven symposium files, and it is the second segment in a row where the finer Parakeet skeleton catches it.

Block 333 is a diarization split, not a third speaker. Parakeet opens a new label, Speaker 3, for “So check those resources out.” Block 332 ends at 00:16:35,320 and block 333 starts at 00:16:35,320, contiguous with no gap, and the sentence continues the thought directly. One person said both. The label is overridden to Bethany Harris.

One attribution was carried on inference at Stage 1 and is now a source reading. The only file that supplies real names labels blocks 332 and 333 as Armitage, which is wrong. The identification of the closing voice as Bethany Harris originally rested on Parakeet clustering it with the bio narration, plus the GUI export naming that narration Bethany Harris, which is two steps of inference. The audio sweep on 2026-08-08 confirmed the voice as Bethany Harris against the recording (sweep item A17). Gabrielle LaTora and Whitney Ottinger, who also narrate bios in this series, are ruled out. The label stands and the inference caveat is retired.

No block in the corrected file mixes speakers. Both changes fall on Parakeet block boundaries, so Stage 5 has no split to make here.

Corrections Applied

195 individual corrections across 140 of 333 blocks: 177 word-level edits and 18 verification flags. Nine blocks carried a flag and no other change. No content was added, removed, or reworded for style.

Post-sweep state, 2026-08-08. All 18 flags were resolved against Allan.mp4 and are closed. Eleven produced a further text edit and seven confirmed the file as written. The delivered SRT now carries zero [VERIFY] markers. The resolutions are tabled under Flagged for Verification, All Resolved below. Running total for this segment is 206 corrections across 140 of 333 blocks: the original 195 plus eleven sweep edits, all of them words inside existing blocks.

Proper Nouns: Speaker and Personal Names

• “Alan Armitage” → “Allan Armitage” (Blocks 2, 8; both engines)
• “Lenny” / “Reiner” → “Lanie” / “Riner” (Blocks 29, 30; the name is split across the block break)
• “Lanny” → “Lanie” (Blocks 40, 59, 310)
• “the Lannies” → “the Lanies” (Block 300)
• “riches and the Bethanies” → “Riches and the Bethanys” (Block 300; Armitage pluralizes first names as a rhetorical device)
• “Lisa Mason Ziggler” → “Lisa Mason-Ziegler” (Block 54; WhisperKit’s spelling)

Armitage refers to Kate Cassity-Duffey as “Katie” at block 261. Both engines agree, it is how he addresses her, and it stays as transcribed. See the content note below, because that sentence matters to the series.

Institutions, Organizations, and Places

• “especially cut flower” → “specialty cut flower” (Blocks 74, 149, 214)
• “the association of especially cut flower growers” → “the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers” (Block 150)
• “a three porch farm” → “the Three Porch Farm” (Block 67)
• “There’s one in Three Porch Farm” → “There’s one in the Three Porch Farm” (Block 158)

The “especially” for “specialty” substitution is systematic in both engines and it is corrected on in-transcript evidence, not outside knowledge. Parakeet renders the phrase correctly as “specialty cut flowers” at block 165, and both engines render “specialty cut flowers” correctly in the recorded bio at blocks 4 and 10. The same words appear right in the same file, so the four mangled instances are recognition failures rather than what was said.

Book Titles

• “the beloved reference. / herbaceous perennial plants” → “the beloved reference, / Herbaceous Perennial Plants” (Blocks 3 and 4, 9 and 10)

The title is capitalized because the bio names it as a book. “A field guide to specialty cut flowers” in the same sentence is left lowercase, because the exact title form is not established anywhere in the transcript and capitalizing it would be a guess. Stage 5 can italicize both if the prose convention calls for it.

Terminology

• “a coal treatment” → “a cold treatment” (Block 244). The sentence explains itself: “you’re not going to get yarrow to grow unless you put them through the winter”
• “The polymer must be visible before cutting” → “the pollen must be visible before cutting” (Block 231; WhisperKit)
• “sewing calendar” → “sowing calendar” (Block 252; WhisperKit)
• “listsserfs” → “listservs” (Block 156). Both engines render “listserv” correctly at block 162, which settles it
• “lysianthus” → “lisianthus” (Block 260; correction table, high confidence)
• “Selocia” → “celosia” (Block 276; correction table)
• “zinia” → “zinnia” (Block 174)
• “the droats” → “the droughts” (Block 59; WhisperKit)
• “I’ve culled these” kept over WhisperKit’s “I’ve called these” (Block 87)
• “co-authored that book” kept over WhisperKit’s “co-opted that book” (Block 304)
• “over-emphasize” → “overemphasize” (Block 282, to match block 106)

Common Names Lowercased

• “Yarrow” → “yarrow”, “Columbine” → “columbine” (Block 277). Both are common names, not proper nouns. Blocks 225, 244, and 248 already have yarrow lowercase, so this is a consistency fix.

Numbers

• “ten acres” → “10 acres” (Block 66; WhisperKit)
• “Ten years” → “10 years” (Block 129; WhisperKit)
• “It costs all a 4." → "It costs all of 4.” (Block 206; the “99” is block 207 and is not merged into it)
• “So there’s 2000, 26, 25, 24, all the way back to 2000.” → “So there’s 2026, 25, 24, all the way back to 2000.” (Block 169)

Both engines produce the identical “2000, 26” string, which is the usual tokenizer split on “twenty twenty-six.” The corrected reading is the only one that makes sense of a list counting down to 2000, and the item being listed is Cut Flowers of the Year.

Stutters and False Starts

WhisperKit’s cleaner reading was taken in each case. Parakeet captured the repetition; the coarser engine did not hear it as two words.

• “the people at the at at Georgia” → “the people at Georgia” (Block 35)
• “So I’m I’m gonna talk” → “So I’m going to talk” (Block 47)
• “uh of of what you do here” → “of what you do here” (Block 48)
• “what what’s happening here” → “what’s happening here” (Block 73)
• “Yeah, that that’s a good thing” → “Yeah, that’s a good thing” (Block 80)
• “but i we are just a a brotherhood” → “but we are just a brotherhood” (Block 84)
• “Now I’m I know that all of you” → “Now, I know that all of you” (Block 128)
• “If you can’t if you’re in this business” → “If you’re in this business” (Block 145)
• “you’re in the b you gotta be” → “you’re in the business. You got to be” (Block 145)
• “hey, what w who’s got” → “hey, who’s got” (Block 162)
• “is the is a link” → “is the link” (Block 167)
• “you can get it on on on through Amazon” → “you can get it on through Amazon” (Block 195)
• “So that that’s cool” → “So that’s cool” (Block 197)
• “Here’s your one of your better friends” → “Here’s one of your better friends” (Block 114)
• “put this on your on the place” → “put this on your place” (Block 183)
• “unless you put ‘em put ‘em through the winter” → “unless you put them through the winter” (Block 244)
• “whether it’s your far or your farmer’s market” → “whether it’s your farmer’s market” (Block 283)
• “Talk to them m way before” → “Talk to them way before” (Block 284)
• “We’re gonna you guys are gonna talk about” → “You guys are going to talk about” (Block 259)

Contractions

Where both engines cover the same words and differ only on “gonna” against “going to,” WhisperKit was taken, per the role split. This affects blocks 47, 88, 171, 259, 260, and 282. Armitage’s other speech patterns are untouched; nothing was formalized beyond this one substitution.

Sentence Boundaries and Punctuation

Parakeet ends nearly every block with a period whether or not the sentence ends there. This is the largest correction category in the file by a wide margin, as predicted after segment 01. Sixty-five of the 140 corrected blocks needed nothing but a punctuation or capitalization fix, and more carried one alongside a word change. Representative cases:

• “including the beloved reference.” → “including the beloved reference,” (Blocks 3, 9; the title follows in the next block)
• “we’ll get this done” → “we’ll get this done.” (Block 21; a missing terminal period, the opposite failure)
• “First of all, Lenny.” → “First of all, Lanie” (Block 29; the surname is block 30)
• “But you know the saying that” → “But, you know, the saying that” (Block 37)
• “Things get done by people who show up.” → “things get done by people who show up.” (Block 38; continues block 37)
• “the time constraints.” → “the time constraints” (Block 101; “of you and your staff” is block 102)
• “a refrigerator to put cut flowers in.” → “a refrigerator to put cut flowers in,” (Block 123; “once harvested but yet not delivered” is block 124)
• “sources for seeds and plugs.” → “sources for seeds and plugs,” and “Equipment,” → “equipment,” (Blocks 156, 157)
• “Do it.” → “do it.” (Block 143; continues “Just” in block 142)
• “a finite number we can market.” → “a finite number we can market,” (Block 265)
• “The market is much less in the summertime.” → “The market is much less in the summertime,” (Block 272; “early and late” is block 273)
• “Ready to listen.” → “ready to listen.” (Block 295)
• “To the real information.” → “to the real information.” (Block 328)
• “So with that, I will say.” → “So, with that, I will say,” (Block 324; “The end.” is block 325)

Merge Decisions Where the Engines Disagreed

Seven disagreements were not stutters, punctuation, or terminology. Each was decided on the record.

Block	Parakeet	WhisperKit	Kept	Reason
17	”And I decided what the heck"	"And I started, what the heck?”	Parakeet	”I started, what the heck” is not a sentence. “I decided, what the heck” is. WhisperKit’s “if” was taken from the same block, since block 18 completes the conditional
42	”in talking about other organizations"	"and talk about other organizations”	WhisperKit	Nothing in the surrounding text decides it, so the role split does
87	”I’ve culled these from various conversations"	"I’ve called these”	Parakeet	”Culled” is the word the sentence needs. He is describing quotes gathered from growers
134	”since you not only understand and it but have lived these comments"	"since you not only understand, but I’ve lived these comments”	Parakeet	The subject is “you” throughout the sentence. WhisperKit’s “I’ve” breaks the agreement. Parakeet’s stray “and it” was dropped as a stutter
180	”You got a geranium for foliage"	"They got a geranium for foliage”	WhisperKit	He is describing a Cut Flowers of the Year entry, not addressing the audience. No strong evidence either way, so the role split decides
192	”the granddaddy of them all for cut flowers"	"the granddaddy of them all. For Cut Flowers.”	Parakeet	WhisperKit splits a single sentence and capitalizes the fragment
304	”co-authored that book with me"	"co-opted that book with me”	Parakeet	Block 303 introduces her as his colleague and block 214 names her as the co-author of the newest book. “Co-opted” contradicts both

Flagged for Verification, All Resolved

Eighteen flags were raised at Stage 1, each carrying the original ASR token and none carrying an expected answer. The count was high because of the content: sixteen minutes of Armitage naming books, authors, cultivars, websites, and organizations.

All eighteen were resolved against Allan.mp4 with Rich on 2026-08-08, in the symposium-wide audio verification sweep recorded in GTBOP_AudioSweep_CutFlowerSymposium.md. Nothing was left inaudible. The flags were removed from the SRT in the post-pipeline correction session of the same date, and the resolved word went in where the audio produced one.

Resolution table

Sweep item	Blocks	Flag carried	Audio resolution	SRT effect
A1	6, 12	"child gardens"	Trial Gardens. He built UGA’s famed Trial Gardens	Text edit, both passes of the bio
A2	70	"Nicole Pitt"	Nicole Pitt, as transcribed	Flag removed, no text change
A3	187	"Lenny Larkin's"	Lennie Larkin’s	Text edit
A3	188	"Lynn Brzezinski"	Lynn Byczynski, spelling confirmed separately	Text edit
A4	214	"Kelly Garcia"	Kelly Garcia, as transcribed. Named again at block 303	Flag removed, no text change
A5	148	"growers, GGIA"	He said GGIA. A confirmed slip of the tongue, not an engine error	Flag removed, no text change
A6	151	"quarters"	quarterly	Text edit
A7	152	"things you can put behind you at the flowers market"	”They have people… they have things you can put behind you at the flowers market.” A self-interruption. “Flowers market” is confirmed as spoken	Text edit
A8	165 to 167	"specialty cut flowers at ascfg"	ascfg.org. The address is now printable	Flag removed, no text change. Blocks 165 and 166 already split the address at the period
A9	172	"souls" / "sills"	celosia	Text edit
A10	173	"shimmer"	Shimmer, capitalised as a cultivar name	Text edit, capitalization
A11	174	"Queenie Lemon Peach"	Queeny Lemon Peach	Text edit
A12	233	"Parker's Gold"	Parker’s Gold, as transcribed	Flag removed, no text change
A13	275	"Louisiana"	lisianthus	Text edit
A14	277	"Asses" / "Assas"	asters, lowercased to match yarrow and columbine in the same sentence	Text edit
A15	220	"alanarmage" / "alanarm"	allanarmitage, followed by “net” in block 221	Text edit
A15	256	"allenarmors" / "AllenArmage"	allanarmitage, followed by “net” in block 257	Text edit

Seventeen rows for eighteen flags: blocks 6 and 12 carry the same flag on the two passes of the recorded bio, and A3 and A15 each closed two flags.

What the resolutions changed downstream

• Block 148 needs no attribution change anywhere. Armitage did say GGIA, and he names the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers outright ten seconds later at block 150. Everything he describes after that point belongs to the association. The Stage 2, 3, and 4 decision to credit no association benefit to GGIA holds unchanged. What changed is the framing: this was written up as an unresolvable ambiguity and it is now a confirmed slip of the tongue by the speaker.
• Two addresses became printable. ascfg.org at blocks 165 to 167 and allanarmitage.net at blocks 220 and 256. Four segment 02 files described the gap rather than printing the address and have been updated.
• The address blocks are token splits, not text defects. Block 165 ends “ascfg.” and block 166 is “org”; blocks 220 and 256 end “allanarmitage.” and blocks 221 and 257 open “net,”. Bedrock forbids merging blocks, so the SRT leaves the split alone and Stage 5 joins the halves tight, the same handling the app price at blocks 206 and 207 already had.
• A9 through A12 unlocked a Stage 4 exercise. Celosia, Shimmer, Queeny Lemon Peach, and Parker’s Gold are now usable in a graded item alongside Moonshine and Coronation Gold. Stage 4 gained a fourth matching exercise it could not build while the tokens were open.
• The yarrow flower colour passages at blocks 235 to 238 and block 249 are not a contradiction (sweep item A16). Different slides, different selection subsets, both statements true. No text change, and the notes calling it an open contradiction have been retired from Stages 2 through 4.

Content Note for Downstream Stages

Two things in this transcript bear directly on decisions already recorded in the hub.

Block 260 and 261. Armitage says “You’re going to talk about lisianthus, which is just one of my favorite flowers. I think Katie’s going to talk about that.” That is the segment 04 titling trap stated on camera. Cassity-Duffey delivered snapdragons, not lisianthus, and the lisianthus content was never delivered anywhere in the symposium. Any Stage 2 or Stage 5 handling of this line should present it as what Armitage expected, not as what happened.

Block 259. “You guys are going to talk about disease management, heat, drought.” That matches segments 08, 06, and 06 respectively, and it is the only place in the symposium where a speaker previews the running order out loud.

SRT Format Compliance

✅ All timestamps preserved exactly as the Parakeet source (verified by script diff, 666 of 666 values byte-identical)
✅ All sequence numbers maintained (1 to 333)
✅ Blank lines between segments preserved
✅ No segments merged or split
✅ Block count: 333 skeleton = 333 corrected ✓ (re-verified after the post-sweep edits of 2026-08-08: 666 of 666 index and timestamp lines still byte-identical to the pre-sweep file)
✅ Block starts in clock order throughout; no sort by index was needed on this file
✅ Maximum line length: 42 characters, every line, no exceptions
✅ Zero em dashes and zero en dashes in the file
✅ Zero [VERIFY] markers remain: all 18 closed by the audio sweep of 2026-08-08
⚠️ Line count: 249 of 333 blocks fit the 2-line rule; 84 need three or more lines

On the 2-line rule

The CLI accepts --max-chars-per-line 42 and does not honor it, so every block was rewrapped to a hard 42-character ceiling. That part is met with no exceptions.

The 2-line ceiling is a different matter. Two lines of 42 characters hold about 84 characters, and 84 of these blocks carry more speech than that. Meeting the ceiling would mean splitting blocks, which Bedrock forbids. The 42-character wrap was treated as the hard rule and the line count was allowed to follow the block.

Distribution: 93 blocks at one line, 156 at two, 55 at three, 24 at four, 5 at five.

The proportion is better than segment 01’s, where 46 % of blocks ran past two lines against 25 % here, because Parakeet cut this file into 333 blocks for 16:37 rather than 50 blocks for 4:07. Finer blocks carry less speech each.

The speaker label costs 15 or 16 characters of the first line on every block. Labels stay on every block, as in all three source files.

This file is a working text source and the Stage 5 input. Before it is used as a caption track it needs a line-splitting pass in a caption editor.

Parker’s Gold, Shimmer, Nicole Pitt, and Kelly Garcia were confirmed as transcribed and need no correction row. Shimmer takes a capital as a cultivar name.

Three engine-shape patterns confirmed at scale. Parakeet’s per-block terminal period made sentence-boundary repair the largest correction category here, as it was on segment 01, and at 333 blocks it was sixty-five blocks that needed nothing else plus more that needed it alongside a word change. WhisperKit dropped three spans of three seconds or more that Parakeet caught. WhisperKit also produced two out-of-order duplicate blocks, a failure mode not seen on the short Riner file; check every WhisperKit run for blocks whose start time precedes the previous block’s, since both instances here were duplicated text rather than real speech.

New Speakers for Roster

• Allan Armitage, Professor Emeritus of Horticulture, University of Georgia. Author of 17 books including Herbaceous Perennial Plants; introduced more than 20 garden plants; built UGA’s Trial Gardens, named in the recorded bio at blocks 6 and 12 and confirmed against the recording in the audio sweep of 2026-08-08. Credentials taken from the recorded introduction narrated by Bethany Harris, not from an outside source.

Bethany Harris is already in the project roster and appears here as both moderator and the narrator of the recorded introduction.
