Operator Micro-Commands

asr/ocr/from-script/correct/translate/dub are packaged pipelines — they run several operators back to back. Sometimes you only want one stage. Every major operator is also exposed as its own micro-command. Input/output stay on the intermediate file (source commands also accept media), so you can drive the pipeline stage by stage, inspect between steps, and re-run a single stage without touching the rest.

# Stage-by-stage chain: convert  transcribe  split  clean  align
Centurion convert subs.srt
Centurion transcribe subs.centurion.json        # needs the audio file (Config.InputFilePath)
Centurion split subs.transcribe.centurion.json
Centurion clean subs.transcribe.split.centurion.json
Centurion align subs.transcribe.split.clean.centurion.json
Centurion build subs.transcribe.split.clean.align.centurion.json

Command	Accepts	Runs	Output
`transcribe <INPUT>`	media or IR	FFmpegConvert AudioPreprocess Transcribe	`<input>.transcribe.centurion.json`
`vocalsep <INPUT>`	media or IR	FFmpegConvert VocalSeparation	`<input>.vocalsep.centurion.json` + `<input>.vocals.wav`
`diarize <IR>`	IR only	Diarization	`<input>.diarize.centurion.json`
`split <IR>`	IR only	SentenceSplit	`<input>.split.centurion.json`
`clean <IR>`	IR only	TextPreprocessing	`<input>.clean.centurion.json`
`align <IR>`	IR only	Alignment	`<input>.align.centurion.json`
`spellcheck <IR>`	IR only	SpellCheck (Hunspell)	`<input>.spellcheck.centurion.json` + `.spellcheck.json`
`quality <IR>`	IR only	QualityReport	`<input>.quality.centurion.json` + `.quality.json`

Each stage is checkpointed — re-running split on an already-split file skips cleanly instead of double-processing.

Every micro-command prints what to run next (e.g. split suggests align). The packaged commands remain exactly as they were — micro-commands are additive.

Quality Reports (Every Command)

Every pipeline path — asr, ocr, from-script, correct, convert, translate, dub — finishes by writing a <output>.quality.json next to its output (e.g. demo.centurion.quality.json). No flags, no opt-in.

{
  "meta": { "command": "asr", "input": "demo.mp4", "output": "demo.centurion.json", "generatedAt": "…" },
  "counts": { "sentences": 42, "words": 318, "characters": 2205, "speakers": 2, "durationSeconds": 124.6 },
  "coverage": { "charactersPerSecond": 17.7, "coveredRatio": 0.93 },
  "alignment": { "meanDriftMs": 180, "maxDriftMs": 940 },
  "warnings": [ "…" ],
  "errors": []
}

Counts: sentences / words / characters / distinct speakers / total duration
Coverage: characters-per-second vs. your reading-speed target, transcription coverage ratio
Alignment: mean & max drift against the reference timeline (drift > threshold shows up as a warning)
Dub (dub runs only): segment totals & skips, translation coverage, mean/max alignment deviation (ms), applied tempo stats, and a clone-consistency heuristic
Warnings & errors: every non-fatal issue the pipeline shrugged off, visible at a glance

It’s your canary in the coal mine — script too dense? CPS way up. Alignment slipping? Drift way up. No more guessing why a subtitle looks off.

`update` — Self-Update

Never touch GitHub by hand again. update checks Remembering-in-Moskowien/Centurion releases, downloads the matching build, and swaps itself out.

Centurion update [options]

Options

--check — only check for a new version; download nothing
--apply — download and apply right away (closes & restarts the program)
--asset <NAME> — manually pick a release asset name (default: auto-match by platform, e.g. Centurion-win-x64.zip)

How it works

Queries the GitHub latest release (semantic version compare against your local version)
Auto-matches the asset for your platform (win-x64 / linux-x64 / osx-arm64…)
Downloads it to a temp staging area and safely extracts it (zip-slip guarded )
Generates an apply script that waits for the old process to exit, swaps the files, and restarts

# Just check
Centurion update --check

# Check + download + apply in one go (program restarts itself)
Centurion update --apply

Localization (JSON, on by default in English)

All user-facing console/log messages go through ConsoleServices.T(); the key is the English default text
Translations live in Localization/{culture}.json next to the executable — drop a file in, no recompile needed
Built-in zh-CN.json ships with every release (Simplified Chinese )

# run in Chinese
Centurion.Cli.exe --lang zh-CN asr video.mp4
# omit --lang  English (default)

# GitHub downloads (update / dictionaries / tools) auto-try 520 mirrors then direct
Centurion.Cli.exe --github-proxy https://my-mirror.example/ update      # use a custom mirror
Centurion.Cli.exe --no-github-proxy update                              # disable mirrors entirely

Missing key / missing language file falls back to English gracefully
