When embedded-track extraction is skipped (network-mounted media), live mpv
text during per-glyph typeset karaoke is a wall of simultaneous one-glyph
lines plus the syllable being typed. No parsed cues exist to substitute, so
the wall reached both overlays and recording verbatim. Detect bursts of many
single-glyph lines in the live fallback paths and drop them with their short
syllable companions, keeping concurrent dialogue lines.
- Skip control-debris stripping for primary/secondary live text when cues or source aren't ASS/SSA, so SRT lines that merely resemble ASS override tags survive
- Track active source's ASS-ness in the secondary controller and gate handleLiveText's cleanup on it
- Recover Latin/romaji word spaces encoded only by positioned `\pos`/`\move` fragment gaps in ASS karaoke
- Drop malformed ASS rotation-reset spacer lines and skip zero-duration metadata events
- Dedupe duplicate lines across multiline primary/secondary cues, including full-width variants
- Treat dense fragment-grid sign layouts as visual typesetting, not publishable text, during primary subtitle resolution
- Only trim indentation before slicing ASS event fields so a trailing authored space at a fragment's end is kept, preventing words from being joined together when fragmented karaoke lines are reconstructed
- Add regression test covering event-boundary word spacing
- Reconstruct fragment-only karaoke while preserving canonical animated signs
- Reprocess live subtitles after initial playback and seek updates
- Add a development launcher for playable media files
