# Process-Input Anti-Patterns

- **Fabricated transcript.** Do not write what the audio "probably said" when free-whisper fails. Mark the index entry `failed` with `md: null`.
- **Paraphrased source.** Do not tidy, summarize, translate, or shorten transcripts/text. Resource records preserve source material verbatim.
- **Discovery transcriptions folder.** Do not create `docs/discovery/<project-slug>/inputs/transcriptions/`. Shared project inputs live only under `docs/inputs/<project-slug>/`.
- **Batch Markdown.** Do not create one consolidated `.md` for a run. Write one resource record per input.
- **Silent index migration.** Do not rewrite an incompatible index schema. Stop and report the mismatch.
