Stack status

Draft follow-up to #540. This branch is intentionally stacked on feat/set-word-text; the three document-layer commits from #540 will disappear from this PR after #540 lands and this branch is rebased. Please review the UI direction first and do not merge this PR before #540.

Summary

  • Add explicit Transcript text and Cut selected video modes to the existing transcript pane.
  • Let users edit the clip's natural plain-text transcript projection while preserving every persisted wordId and word timing.
  • Map the smallest changed text range back onto the existing transcript words through feat(document): add immutable transcript word edits #540's setWordText document primitive; no new word rows are minted.
  • Serialize transcript saves with the existing document-write queue, preserve undo/redo history, synchronize the legacy primary transcript through withTranscript, and keep pending text safe across IME composition, mode changes, blur, transcription replacement, save failure, and unmount.
  • Keep Product: transcripts for imported audio — editing/subtitle source selectors, media panel gap #560's future recording/voiceover source selection out of scope; this only wires word correction into the single transcript pane.

  • npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit — passed
  • npm run lint — passed (repository baseline warnings only; none in changed files)
  • npm run i18n:check — passed
  • npm run test — 190 files passed; 2308 tests passed, 5 skipped
  • Windows Electron smoke: transcript pane opened, cut mode rendered existing word/silence affordances, text mode rendered the editable plain-text projection and localized controls.

Changes

Transcript text editing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transcript projection and replacement helpers
src/lib/ai-edition/document/transcript.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/document/transcript.test.ts
Adds immutable transcript editing helpers with CJK-aware spacing, paragraph projection, code-point offset mapping, validation, and replacement tests.
Transcript pane editing mode
src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/TranscriptPane.textEdit.test.tsx, src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json
Adds text and cut modes. Text mode supports editable projections, debounced persistence, IME input, plain-text paste, caret preservation, retries, flushes, and localized controls.
Document persistence and write auditing
src/components/ai-edition/NewEditorShell.tsx, src/lib/ai-edition/document/transcribe.test.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/documentWriteAudit.test.ts
Queues transcript updates against the latest document, saves history-enabled changes, reports failures, and verifies transcript field updates and write auditing.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 607d8

Pending transcript edits can be lost or applied using stale project or transcript inputs during project changes or interrupted rendering. These persistence hazards should be fixed before merge.

Explanation

The implementation satisfies issue #463 by enabling direct transcript text editing, updating the transcript in place, and preserving existing word IDs and timings. The change also includes validation and persistence behavior required by the PR objectives. [#463]

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within scope for transcript text editing. UI mode selection, document helpers, persistence integration, tests, and localization support the stated objectives. The description explicitly excludes the future recording and voiceover source-selection work from #560.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 21 functions across 7 files. (13 skipped: 13 unsupported.)

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is complete and matches the repository template. It covers the summary, issue links, feature classification, release and desktop impact, testing, and draft status. The screenshots section notes that final media is still pending, but this is non-critical for the current draft.

In `@src/components/ai-edition/NewEditorShell.tsx`:
- Line 615: Update enqueueTimelineWrite and its deferred task to capture the
source projectId when scheduling, then compare it with the current project
before applying or persisting the document; reject the task when the project has
changed. Ensure the pane unmount flush uses this project-scoped callback rather
than allowing an unscoped write.

In `@src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx`:
- Around line 1006-1011: Move the six save-related ref assignments—modeRef,
committedTextRef, busyRef, assetIdRef, realWordIdsRef, and
onEditTranscriptTextRef—from render into a useLayoutEffect so they update only
after commit, while preserving their existing dependency values. Add a
regression test covering an interrupted render with a pending debounce,
verifying it uses the last committed text, asset ID, callback, and word IDs.
