A probe on the torch stage worker (~/dockers/torch-worker) runs beside every
transcription and decides what the recording is: solo dictation returns as
paragraphs exactly as before, several voices return speaker-labeled with
conversation: true. Nobody declares which — the caller cannot know.
Transcription and the worker each get a serial FIFO queue on their own
resource, so the probe costs a solo memo nothing and multi-user traffic
stays fair. The worker is optional and best-effort throughout: unreachable
or failing, everything still transcribes, just never labeled.
Speaker attribution is segment-granularity by maximal turn overlap —
whisper.cpp's own timestamps, no alignment stage. If boundaries prove
sloppy, wav2vec2 alignment returns as a worker endpoint.
