TranscriptX terminology index (non-authoritative)

This document is an index of terms only. It aggregates terminology from the authoritative CONTRACT documents and points back to them.

  • It must not introduce new semantics or rules.

  • If any wording here appears to conflict with a CONTRACT document, the CONTRACT document wins.

Where you need the actual definition or invariant, always read the linked CONTRACT section.

Terms and authorities

  • Canonical transcript

    • See storage contract: docs/runtime/STORAGE.md (canonical transcript validation).

    • See ingestion guide (non-authoritative detail): docs/runtime/transcription.md. Host import API: docs/runtime/host-stt.md.

  • Managed transcript

    • See storage contract: docs/runtime/STORAGE.md (managed transcript and metadata layout).

  • Library-valid transcript

    • See storage contract: docs/runtime/STORAGE.md (canonical + sidecars + archival/original linkage).

  • Sidecar

    • See storage contract: docs/runtime/STORAGE.md (metadata mirroring invariant and sidecar paths).

  • Metadata subtree

    • See storage contract: docs/runtime/STORAGE.md (metadata subtree layout and helpers).

  • Staging vs canonical storage

    • See storage contract: docs/runtime/STORAGE.md (imports/ staging semantics and canonical storage model).

  • Run outcome / execution truth

    • See run outcome contract: docs/run_outcome_contract.md.

  • Outputs and run artifacts

    • See output contract: docs/contracts/output-contract-v1.md.

    • Overview ZIP / HTML / EPUB packaging: docs/runtime/export.md (guide; selection-scoped presentation indexes).

  • Public surface / supported surface

    • See public surfaces contract: docs/public_surfaces.md.

    • Viewer Correct mode (behaviour guide): docs/runtime/corrections-viewer.md.

  • Settings / configuration scopes

    • Precedence and config_dir: docs/runtime/STORAGE.md.

    • User guide (Common vs Advanced, Profiles page): docs/runtime/settings.md.

  • Install profile (core | full)

    • Capability / dependency story — not module presets. See docs/runtime/installation-advanced.md and docs/dev/install_profiles_matrix.md.

  • Module / workflow profile

    • Named JSON under {config_dir}/profiles/<target>/. See docs/runtime/settings.md and docs/runtime/STORAGE.md.

  • Analysis UI preset (Quick / Balanced / Thorough)

    • Module-set policies for Run Analysis. See docs/runtime/settings.md.

  • Speaker profile

    • Longitudinal identity / voice store (separate from analysis knobs). See docs/contracts/speaker_profiles_v1.md and docs/contracts/speaker_profiles_voice_v1.md.

  • Auto-name / auto-link

    • Orthogonal ingest knobs that may write speaker-map display names and/or auto_identified profile links after admit. See docs/contracts/speaker_profiles_voice_v1.md. Operator guide: docs/runtime/auto-identify.md.

  • auto_identified

    • link_method (and speaker-map mapping method) for fusion-applied ingest. Trust maps like suggestion_assisted until promote. See docs/contracts/speaker_profiles_voice_v1.md.

  • Speaker-map sidecar

    • Per-transcript display names / ignore lists under transcripts/metadata/speaker_maps/. See docs/runtime/STORAGE.md and docs/contracts/speaker_profiles_v1.md.

This index may grow as new terms are introduced in CONTRACT docs, but each term here must always delegate meaning to those documents rather than redefining it.
