 The actual audio/video files are recorded to S3, but transcription/diarization is NOT performed. Instead:
 - A **stub processor** generates fake transcript with predetermined text ("The Great Fish Eating Argument")
+- **Audio track is downloaded from Daily.co S3** to local storage for playback in the frontend
 - All database entities (recording, transcript, topics, participants, words) are created with **fake "fish" conversation data**
 - This allows testing the complete webhook → database flow WITHOUT expensive GPU processing
