Sylpheed port agent d613609aaf port: check-all hung for an hour on an ffmpeg that had already finished its work
check-all sat on two lines of output for over an hour. The cause was the 5.1 bed
in check-capture-controls: ffmpeg completes the filter graph and then never exits.
Diagnosed rather than guessed -- the output reaches 4604262 bytes, exactly 8.0 s
of 5.1ch/16-bit/48kHz, the full intended length, with the artifact correct on disk
while the process hangs.

Three formulations all hang and all produce byte-identical output: the original,
one with -t 8 bounding the output, and one with explicit asplit feeding each atrim
(the textbook fix for multi-use of a single input). So it is not the split, not
the output stage, and the artifact is not in doubt.

Worse than the hang: it leaks. An orphaned ffmpeg from this script's earlier aloop
form was still running after 9.5 hours, burning CPU across runs nobody was
watching. boot.gd's header already names the shape -- a job that waits forever
reads as a job still working.

Bounded with timeout, and the ARTIFACT is now checked rather than the exit code:
the bed's duration must be 8 s or the sweep refuses to score itself. That is the
better test regardless of the hang -- an exit code says ffmpeg thought it was
done, the file says what it wrote. The step now completes in 99 s and the sweep
matches its specification.

#
# `AUDIO-VERIFICATION.md` calls that sweep **"the tool's real specification"**
# and prints it as a table. Nothing executed it. So the specification was prose:
# if `check-capture` regressed, or if a threshold drifted, no run would have said
# so -- and this is a tool whose own history is two invented thresholds that were
# both wrong and were caught only by controls.
#
# 🔴 The same document states the principle this violates: **"A control that does
# not execute is not a control."** It was written about a mono file that skipped
# its own check. The sweep as a whole was in exactly that condition.
#
# ⚠️ One control CANNOT be rebuilt: the starved capture itself was a transient
# artifact and is gone. It is reported as MISSING rather than omitted, because a
# sweep that quietly drops a control is the defect it exists to catch.

# A real music+SFX bed: six channels of REAL material, one per channel.
#
# 🔴 The first version of this control was `-ac 6` from the stereo bed, and it
# FAILED -- correctly. An upmix leaves channels 2-5 silent and byte-identical,
# which is exactly what the provenance check exists to catch, so the control was
# a broken capture wearing a control's name. The tool was right and the control
# was wrong, which is the outcome a sweep must be able to tell from its opposite.
#
# Six NON-OVERLAPPING spans of real audio, one per channel, all continuous. A
# second attempt used `aloop=-1` to stretch the short UI cues into full-length
# channels and hung ffmpeg indefinitely; spans of the long assets need no looping.
# 🔴 THIS FFMPEG COMPLETES ITS WORK AND THEN NEVER EXITS, AND IT WEDGED THE
# WHOLE SUITE FOR AN HOUR.
