FA-78021 / Subtitle cue timing / Open access
Subtitle reading-speed check: line break exclusion · case 01
Two-line cues are flagged as too fast although the text is short.
ROOT CAUSE
Line breaks are counted as readable characters.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Remove line breaks before counting characters.
Unsuccessful approach: Replacing breaks with spaces still counts one character per break.
Case contract
For cues [start,end,text] return the 1-based indices whose reading speed exceeds max_cps. Tags <...> are removed, CRLF is treated as one line break, line breaks are not counted, all other characters (including spaces) count. The test is chars*1000 > max_cps*duration; a cue with duration <= 0 is flagged iff it has any counted character.
Why this case matters
Subtitle timing defects shift, hide or overlap captions that viewers depend on for comprehension and accessibility.

Verification & scope
A deterministic bounded teaching model with a stipulated toy contract; it does not claim conformance to any subtitle standard. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:49:31.385828+00:00.
