The word-level pass catches single-word Whisper loops ("URL URL URL…")
but misses two common hallucination patterns the PR had to claim as
"edge cases":
1. Multi-word English loops — "thanks for watching thanks for watching…"
× 6 sails through because no two consecutive tokens are identical
after text.split().
2. CJK loops — "謝謝觀看" × 7 sails through because text.split() returns
a single unsplit token for the whole loop (no whitespace between
characters).
Add a character-level second pass: a non-greedy regex finds any 2–60
char substring that repeats min_run+ times immediately after itself and
strips the run. The 2-char floor keeps emphasised single-letter runs
("wooooooow") intact. The 60-char ceiling covers every observed
Whisper tail hallucination ("Please like and subscribe to my
channel.", "Subtitles by the Amara.org community") while staying short
enough that coincidental long-phrase repetition in legitimate speech
doesn't hit the threshold. Whitespace normalisation only runs when the
pass actually stripped something, so untouched transcripts keep their
original spacing.
New test_refinement_collapse.py gives the pre-processor its first
deterministic unit-test coverage: 17 tests pinning the word-level
legacy behaviour plus the new multi-word English / CJK / Japanese /
emphasis-preservation cases.
