THE BUG THIS EXISTS TO CLOSE. ``_emit`` used to size its emission with a flat
``tokens_per_word = 1.3`` while ``plan_blend`` gated on tokenizer-MEASURED
availability. Real tokens/word across these nine sources runs 1.194 (tinystories) to
1.559 (wikipedia_simple) -- a 30% spread -- so the emitter over-emitted for eight of
the nine, by exactly the factor ``real_ratio / 1.3``. Consequences in the shipped
blend: ``wikipedia_simple`` declared ``upsample=1`` and made 1.058 passes, silently
duplicating ~5.8% of Simple Wikipedia; ``procedural`` made 4.03 passes, over the 4x
working limit that Task 6 moved a whole share point to stay under; the blend totalled
425,024,350 real tokens against a 400M budget; and the manifest reported every
``achieved_share`` as exactly its target to 15 decimal places.
The ratio is derived rather than declared: ``available_tokens`` comes from
``docs/measurements/corpus_availability.json``, which is the trained tokenizer's own
count over this same file, and dividing it by the file's word count gives that source's
real tokens per word. ``target_words = want_tokens / ratio`` then makes the REAL
emitted token count track the plan.
With the ratio correct, a source's repetition factor collapses to
``want_tokens / available_tokens``, which ``plan_blend``'s gate already holds at or
below the declared ``upsample`` -- so the emitter can no longer exceed a source's
declared repetition. That was not true with a flat constant.

only chunks skipped -- so ``emitted_tokens`` is directly comparable with
``available_tokens``, which that script produced from the same files. (BPE merges do
not cross an ``encode`` call, so a different split would give a slightly different
total and the two numbers would no longer be measuring the same thing.)

"""Append text from ``src_path`` until ``want_tokens`` is reached, repeating if needed.
``tokens_per_word`` is that source's MEASURED ratio (see ``_measure_tokens_per_word``),
not a shared constant: a flat constant over-emits for every source that compresses
worse than the constant claims, which is how an ``upsample=1`` source ends up
duplicating part of itself.
The final pass is TRUNCATED. An earlier draft of this function wrote
only whole passes over the source file, which cannot undershoot a large source: with
tinystories offering 445M tokens against a 120M want, one pass emitted the entire file
and the slice achieved 53% against a 30% target, with the blend totalling 839M tokens
against a 400M budget. Truncation is what makes the achieved shares track the targets.
Streams line by line rather than reading the file into memory: tinystories.txt is ~1.9 GB
and ``text.split()`` over it would build a list of hundreds of millions of str objects.
Truncation is at WORD level, not line level: a source whose paragraphs are single long
lines cannot be trimmed at a line boundary, so overshoot would be bounded by the longest
line rather than by a couple of percent.
``on_text`` receives every string written, so a ``TokenMeter`` can count the real
tokens of exactly this emission without a second pass over the output.
THE TRUNCATED TAIL IS CLOSED WITH A ``DOCUMENT_SEPARATOR``. Word-level truncation lands
wherever the token target lands, which is almost always in the middle of some document.
Leaving that fragment unterminated would put an unmarked document transition at each of
the nine source seams -- source A's half-sentence running straight into source B's first
document -- which is precisely the failure this project is fixing everywhere else.
Nine separators against ~400M tokens costs nothing; nine unmarked transitions is the
exact shape of the bug. The separator is only added when the tail does not already end
with one (a truncation can land exactly on a separator line), so it is never doubled,
and the word it adds is counted in ``Emission.words`` -- ``emitted_words`` is what
``train/tokenization.py``'s stratified split uses to find each source's boundary in the
finished corpus, so it must be the number of words actually written, not the number
aimed at.
The truncation, streaming, word-level-boundary and measured-ratio behaviour described
above is covered by ``tests/test_blend_corpus.py``.
