Department 1 — Professional Audio Enhancer  (v2 — HF Spaces Optimised)
=======================================================================

✅ Background noise removal   → SepFormer (HF/speechbrain, no Rust needed)
                                 → Two-pass noisereduce (stationary + non-stat) fallback
✅ Filler word removal        → Whisper confidence-gated word-level timestamps
✅ Stutter removal            → Phonetic-similarity aware repeat detection
✅ Long silence removal       → Adaptive VAD threshold (percentile-based, env-aware)
✅ Breath sound reduction     → Spectral gating (noisereduce non-stationary)
✅ Mouth sound reduction      → Amplitude z-score transient suppression
✅ Room tone fill             → Seamless crossfade splice (no edit seams/clicks)
✅ Audio normalization        → pyloudnorm -18 LUFS
✅ CD quality output          → 44100Hz PCM_24 (HF Spaces compatible)

UPGRADES v2:
  [NOISE]    SepFormer (speechbrain) as primary — no Rust, works on HF Spaces
  [NOISE]    Two-pass noisereduce fallback: stationary first, then non-stationary
             to catch residual noise without aggressive single-pass artifacts
  [FILLER]   Whisper avg_logprob + no_speech_prob confidence gating —
             low-confidence words are not blindly cut anymore
  [FILLER]   Min-duration guard: skips cuts shorter than 80ms (avoids micro-glitches)
  [STUTTER]  Phonetic normalisation (jellyfish/editdistance) catches near-repeats
             e.g. "the" / "tha", "and" / "an" — not just exact matches
  [SILENCE]  Adaptive threshold: uses 15th-percentile RMS of the recording
             instead of fixed 0.008 — works in noisy rooms and quiet studios alike
  [SPLICE]   Crossfade blending on ALL cuts (fillers, stutters, silences) —
             smooth 20ms equal-power fade eliminates click/seam artifacts
  [PERF]     Model singleton caching — SepFormer loaded once, reused across calls
  [PERF]     VAD pre-scan with Silero (if available) to skip non-speech segments
             before heavy processing
  [ROBUST]   Every stage returns original audio on failure (already true, kept)
  [ROBUST]   ffmpeg stderr captured and logged on non-zero exit
