Render chapters 4–12 on NIM Magpie, assemble a full-length audiobook, and obtain operator review.
Tech-lead onboarding
Audiobooks + podcasts
EXECUTED-REAL (audiobook samples) / SPECCED (podcast proposed)
Audiobook evidence stops at chapter samples; no full-length book has been put before the operator. The podcast pipeline is proposed and its implementation scripts are explicitly missing.
01
What this pipeline produces
A full-length, listenable audiobook file assembled from all chapters, with its script-quality evidence; for podcasts, episode MP3s, stable metadata, and a feed.xml package.
02
Where it really stands
Acceptance layer: EXECUTED-REAL (audiobook samples) / SPECCED (podcast proposed)
Evidence: artifacts/audiobook/flagship_gen_z_anxiety/
Audiobook evidence stops at chapter samples; no full-length book has been put before the operator. The podcast pipeline is proposed and its implementation scripts are explicitly missing.
03
Run it yourself
REQUIRES-LIVE-RUN
find scripts/audiobook -maxdepth 2 -type f -name '*.py' -print rg -n "ArgumentParser|add_argument|__main__" scripts/audiobook
If a runner and its CLI contract appear, use only its reported flags and confirm it emits under artifacts/audiobook/. If no runner appears, the supplied spec’s comparator loop remains architecture rather than an executable entrypoint.
For podcast, the authority says scripts/podcast/*.py is missing. There is no honest run command until implementation lands.

05
What is broken right now
The supplied context does not identify an audiobook CLI filename or verified end-to-end flags.
Podcast assembly, render, feed, upload, admin API, UI, and weekly workflow are specified but not implemented.
06
The traps
- Chapter-1 samples do not prove a full-length audiobook. Measure and review the assembled customer file.
- Do not describe the podcast pipeline as active: the canonical authority map marks it proposed.
- A comparator PASS concerns script adaptation; it does not substitute for listening to the full rendered audio.
- A gate PASS is at most structurally clear; never collapse it into an unlayered “all checks pass” claim.

Your first week
1
Inventory the live audiobook CLIs and document their exact help output without inventing flags.
2
Render chapters 4–12 through NIM Magpie and retain per-chapter WAV evidence.
3
Assemble one full-length audiobook and verify duration, bytes, chapter order, and audible joins.
4
Put the full file before the operator and record the acceptance outcome.
