One Minute of Audio, Three Runs: 13 Segments, Then 9, One of Them 21.94 Seconds Long
Community description: Same file, same build, same input, three runs. The words moved by one comma and one space in 215. The segment count dropped 44% and the longest segment went from 5.32 to 21.94 seconds — which breaks everything downstream that keys on segments, starting with subtitles.
