🛠️ Architecture, Engineering & Tooling Documentation

1. RightSub Architecture (SubRefine & SubSwarm)

• split: Decomposes long English SRT files into chunked JSON batches (approx. 210 cues each) mapped through a manifest.json.
• merge: Assembles translated Hebrew batches back into standard .srt format, strictly maintaining original timestamps and block IDs.
• BiDi Engine: Automatically injects invisible Right-to-Left Marks (\u200F / RLM) at the start of every text line, ensuring proper punctuation and numeral display in Plex, Infuse, VLC, and Apple TV.

2. High-Throughput Autonomous AI Agent Architecture

• Model Engine: Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite (Model: "flash_lite").
• Orchestration: Concurrent waves of 4 autonomous subagents per wave, completing 700–900 cues in under 2 minutes per episode.
• Context Injection: Each agent receives rich episode context, character backgrounds (Denny Crane, Alan Shore, Shirley Schmidt, Jerry Espenson, Carl Sack), legal lexicon, and strict character constraints.

3. Algorithmic Memory & Sanitization Pipeline (sanitize_hebrew)

• Cyrillic Homoglyph Normalization (CYRILLIC_TO_HEBREW): Converts visually identical Cyrillic characters (e.g. \u043c [м] -> מ, \u0440 [р] -> ר) directly to their Hebrew equivalents before sanitization, preventing character loss.
• Arabic Character Mapping (ARABIC_TO_HEBREW): Corrects any homoglyphic slips into standard Hebrew letters.
• Typography & Punctuation: Enforces Hebrew gershayim (״ / \u05F4) for acronyms (עו״ד, ארה״ב, FDA), strips unwanted double quotes, eliminates vocalization/nikud, and converts literal string \n to native newlines.
• SDH Stripping: Removes auditory descriptors (music cues, sound effects) while strictly preserving timing block index alignment.

4. Safety & Verification (Definition of Done)

1. Safety First: Before overwriting any .he.srt, the original file is preserved under .he.srt.bak.v25.
2. 1-to-1 Timing Verification: Automated QA checks verify that every cue index and timing range matches the English master file exactly (assert len(en) == len(he)).
3. Plex / Infuse Validation: Verification that 100% of subtitle lines begin with RLM, with 0 foreign glyphs or corrupt characters.
