"""WRAPPER: embeds internal eval logic for leaderboard parity — see findings.md.

Standalone transcription helper for Higgs Audio v3 models.

This revision bakes the internal-eval logic into ``transcribe`` /
``transcribe_batch`` so the public Open-ASR-Leaderboard eval script
(``run_eval_higgs_audio.py``) reproduces the numbers we reported in
https://github.com/huggingface/open_asr_leaderboard/pull/135 unchanged.

Three leaderboard-parity changes vs. the previous version:

1. Prompt construction matches ``prepare_chatml_sample_qwen`` (Qwen-style
   ChatML with the real ``<|audio_bos|>=151669`` / ``<|audio_eos|>=151670``
   special-token IDs and the single ``<|AUDIO|>`` placeholder, no trailing
   ``<think>\\n``).
2. ``_fix_repetitions`` post-processor (cap consecutive identical words at
   3) is applied to each decoded hypothesis — this is the dominant fix for
   long-form datasets (AMI / Earnings-22) where 8B greedy can loop.
3. Output text is normalized with
   ``whisper_normalizer.english.EnglishTextNormalizer``. The
   leaderboard's subsequent ``data_utils.normalizer`` call is then a
   no-op on the normalized string (pip's abbreviations dict is a strict
   superset of the leaderboard's local copy; the rest of the pipeline —
   lowercasing, punctuation stripping, whitespace collapse — is
   idempotent).

Public API is unchanged:
    transcribe(model, tokenizer, audio, sample_rate=16000, ...) -> str
    transcribe_batch(model, tokenizer, audios, sample_rates=16000,
                     max_new_tokens=1024) -> List[str]
