FingerprintWorker is a plain WorkManager worker, Android stops one at ten minutes, and nothing was persisted until a comparison returned. So it was killed mid-flight, saved nothing, and was re-enqueued to start over, forever. IntroOutroDetectorScaleTest is the tripwire whose absence allowed this: the unit tests ran on 300-sample clips while production ran on 1,920,000. Fixed coarse-to-fine, plus AudioCorrelation.prepareTarget so the target clip is transformed once per search rather than 117 times. 10.6x, and a test asserts the chosen reference window is byte-identical to what a full-resolution search picks. **Midroll detection could never have run at all.** decodeFull buffered a whole episode at its native rate -- 434MB for a 13-minute episode, no largeHeap -- to produce 6MB of 8kHz mono. It threw OutOfMemoryError into a swallowing runCatching and the episode was then marked checked forever. MonoResampler now streams the decode so the peak allocation is the output, and maxDecodableMs skips a longer episode before spending anything and without marking it checked. **Detection is moving to a server**, Peter's call, in Go to match podkit and doot. server/ holds the ported core, verified three ways because this is the second port of this maths and the first shipped a normalization bug: numpy's literals extracted mechanically from AudioCorrelationTest, the FFT against a direct DFT, and the whole correlation path against a brute-force Pearson. On four real Radiolab episodes it confirms the intro on 4 of 4, at 48.0s, 8.65s, 8.65s and 65.15s -- the varying pre-roll, observed in working code at last. skips.SelfCheck verifies located segments against *each other* rather than against the reference, which is a different claim: correlation is not transitive, so two segments can each clear 0.6 against a reference and be unrelated. It rejected the outro on its first real run (r=0.746), withholding offsets that would have ended three episodes early. Offsets are published only when they verify. Also: the episode screen gets a working scrubber with ad-break marks and a declared-versus-measured length readout, queue rows open the episode instead of doing nothing, PrepareTrace logs playback-start timing against episode length for the still-open pause question, and -PphoneOnly drops the emulator's CPython from a sideload build (114MB -> 99MB).
