+audio inference calls and preserved exact raw vector bytes. Policy-upgrade fault
+injection reported partial speech coverage, then genuine recognition restored it;
+the retained Google query reader and source-bound excerpts worked across publication.

+This uses a short existing English fixture and queries derived from recognition,
+so it does not score independent relevance, precise utterance timing, GPU behavior
+or native UI performance.
