 # Daily.co Integration Test Plan
 
-## ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Stub Implementation
+## ✅ IMPLEMENTATION STATUS: Real Transcription Active
 
-**This test validates Daily.co webhook integration with MOCK transcription data.**
+**This test validates Daily.co multitrack recording integration with REAL transcription/diarization.**
 
-The actual audio/video files are recorded to S3, but transcription/diarization is NOT performed. Instead:
+The implementation includes complete audio processing pipeline:
-- A **stub processor** generates fake transcript with predetermined text ("The Great Fish Eating Argument")
+- **Multitrack recordings** from Daily.co S3 (separate audio stream per participant)
-- **Audio track is downloaded from Daily.co S3** to local storage for playback in the frontend
+- **PyAV-based audio mixdown** with PTS-based track alignment
-- All database entities (recording, transcript, topics, participants, words) are created with **fake "fish" conversation data**
+- **Real transcription** via Modal GPU backend (Whisper)
-- This allows testing the complete webhook → database flow WITHOUT expensive GPU processing
+- **Real diarization** via Modal GPU backend (speaker identification)
+- **Per-track transcription** with timestamp synchronization
+- **Complete database entities** (recording, transcript, topics, participants, words)
 
-**Expected transcript content:**
+**Processing pipeline** (`PipelineMainMultitrack`):
-- Title: "The Great Fish Eating Argument"
+1. Download all audio tracks from Daily.co S3
-- Participants: "Fish Eater" (speaker 0), "Annoying Person" (speaker 1)
+2. Align tracks by PTS (presentation timestamp) to handle late joiners
-- Transcription: Nonsensical argument about eating fish (see `reflector/worker/daily_stub_data.py`)
+3. Mix tracks into single audio file for unified playback
-- Audio file: Downloaded WebM from Daily.co S3 (stored in `data/{transcript_id}/upload.webm`)
+4. Transcribe each track individually with proper offset handling
+5. Perform diarization on mixed audio
+6. Generate topics, summaries, and word-level timestamps
+7. Convert audio to MP3 and generate waveform visualization
 
-**File processing pipeline** then:
+**Note:** A stub processor (`process_daily_recording`) exists for testing webhook flow without GPU costs, but the production code path uses `process_multitrack_recording` with full ML pipeline.
-- Converts WebM to MP3 format (for frontend audio player)
-- Generates waveform visualization data (audio.json)
-- These files enable proper frontend transcript page display
-
-**Next implementation step:** Replace stub with real transcription pipeline (merge audio tracks, run Whisper/diarization).

+# Multitrack Pipeline Fix Summary
+
+## Problem
+Whisper timestamps were incorrect because it ignores leading silence in audio files. Daily.co tracks can have arbitrary amounts of silence before speech starts.
+
+## Solution
+**Pad tracks BEFORE transcription using stream metadata `start_time`**
+
+This makes Whisper timestamps automatically correct relative to recording start.
+
+## Key Changes in `main_multitrack_pipeline_fixed.py`
+
+### 1. Added `pad_track_for_transcription()` method (lines 55-172)
+
+```python
+async def pad_track_for_transcription(
+    self,
+    track_data: bytes,
+    track_idx: int,
+    storage,
+) -> tuple[bytes, str]:
+```
+
+- Extracts stream metadata `start_time` using PyAV
+- Creates PyAV filter graph with `adelay` filter to add padding
+- Stores padded track to S3 and returns URL
+- Uses same audio processing library (PyAV) already in the pipeline
+
+### 2. Modified `process()` method
+
+#### REMOVED (lines 255-302):
+- Entire filename parsing for offsets - NOT NEEDED ANYMORE
+- The complex regex parsing of Daily.co filenames
+- Offset adjustment after transcription
+
+#### ADDED (lines 371-382):
+- Padding step BEFORE transcription:
+```python
+# PAD TRACKS BEFORE TRANSCRIPTION - THIS IS THE KEY FIX!
+padded_track_urls: list[str] = []
+for idx, data in enumerate(track_datas):
+    if not data:
+        padded_track_urls.append("")
+        continue
+
+    _, padded_url = await self.pad_track_for_transcription(
+        data, idx, storage
+    )
+    padded_track_urls.append(padded_url)
+```
+
+#### MODIFIED (lines 385-435):
+- Transcribe PADDED tracks instead of raw tracks
+- Removed all timestamp offset adjustment code
+- Just set speaker ID - timestamps already correct!
+
+```python
+# NO OFFSET ADJUSTMENT NEEDED!
+# Timestamps are already correct because we transcribed padded tracks
+# Just set speaker ID
+for w in t.words:
+    w.speaker = idx
+```
+
+## Why This Works
+
+1. **Stream metadata is authoritative**: Daily.co sets `start_time` in the WebM container
+2. **PyAV respects metadata**: `audio_stream.start_time * audio_stream.time_base` gives seconds
+3. **Padding before transcription**: Whisper sees continuous audio from time 0
+4. **Automatic alignment**: Word at 51s in padded track = 51s in recording
+
+## Testing
+
+Process the test recording (daily-20251020193458) and verify:
+- Participant 0 words appear at ~2s
+- Participant 1 words appear at ~51s
+- No word interleaving
+- Correct chronological order

+- **Fixed**: `main_multitrack_pipeline_fixed.py`
