| # Local Parakeet ASR evidence |
|
|
| Date: 2026-06-07 |
|
|
| This note separates local Parakeet ASR artifact availability from a real local ASR proof. Artifact availability is not proof that the app has used Parakeet audio or that the local/off-grid audio path is ready. |
|
|
| ## Artifact status |
|
|
| - Model repo: `nvidia/parakeet-rnnt-1.1b` |
| - Revision: `a07b19e98a26c1873a3f2622c446a4a1ca6316cb` |
| - Local snapshot path: `/Users/drake.thomsen/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--nvidia--parakeet-rnnt-1.1b/snapshots/a07b19e98a26c1873a3f2622c446a4a1ca6316cb` |
| - Local artifact: `parakeet-rnnt-1.1b.nemo` |
| - Artifact size: `4283105280` bytes |
| - Artifact SHA-256: `535896f014953d945b287ac533560e20da8103c6781b152de4645528e2b60738` |

|
| ## Evidence helper |
|
|
| Use the helper to capture local ASR evidence: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| PYTHON_DOTENV_DISABLED=true \ |
| python3 scripts/run_local_asr_evidence.py \ |
| --audio <source-audio.wav> \ |
| --transcribe-audio \ |
| --provider-note "<device/runtime command>" |
| ``` |
|
|
| If a provider payload was captured by a separate local runtime, pass it directly: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| PYTHON_DOTENV_DISABLED=true \ |
| python3 scripts/run_local_asr_evidence.py \ |
| --provider-payload <local-parakeet-provider-output.json> \ |
| --audio <optional-source-audio.wav> \ |
| --provider-note "<device/runtime command>" |
| ``` |
|
|
| The helper writes a timestamped evidence directory under `traces/local_asr_parakeet_evidence_*`: |
|
|
| - `artifact_metadata.json`: Parakeet `.nemo` presence, size, and hash |
| - `audio_metadata.json`: optional source-audio metadata and hash only; raw audio is not copied into the evidence bundle |
| - `provider_payload.json`: provider output generated by `--transcribe-audio`, when that path is used |
| - `provider_payload_metadata.json`: provider output file hash |
| - `audio_draft.json`: Figment draft generated from the provider payload under `AUDIO_BACKEND=parakeet_nemo` and `ALLOW_LOCAL_ASR=true` |
| - `draft_checks.json`: evidence-gated checks for Parakeet provenance, confirmation status, and raw-audio handling |
| - `asr_evidence_manifest.json`: compact manifest with artifact status, provider-payload hash, configured route, draft summary, raw-audio handling, and proof flags |
| - `summary.json`: top-level proof flags |
|
|
| Exit codes are evidence-gated: |
|
|
| - `0`: provider payload passed all local ASR draft checks |
| - `2`: artifact exists but provider payload is missing or not proof |
| - `1`: artifact missing |
|
|
| ## Current result |
|
|
| The artifact-only helper run succeeded in finding the Parakeet `.nemo` file but exited `2` because no real local ASR provider payload was supplied: |
|
|
| ```text |
| status=artifact_present_provider_payload_required |
| counts_as_local_asr_artifact=true |
| counts_as_local_asr_proof=false |
| raw_audio_stored=false |
| asr_evidence_manifest_path=/tmp/figment-local-asr-artifact-only-manifest-check/asr_evidence_manifest.json |
| ``` |
|
|
| This means artifact presence alone remains insufficient. The app now has a Parakeet ASR adapter path; the proof upgrades only after a real audio run produces a provider payload and the helper records `counts_as_local_asr_proof=true`. |
