A system that sometimes fails and says so is more useful than one that always appears to succeed. The person using it needs to know when to trust the output and when to question it. That judgment belongs to them, not to me.

And for a system that's asking someone to rely on it to communicate — to speak through it, in a sense — trust is the only metric that actually matters.

And the results display was updated to show what actually happened, not a cleaned-up version of it.
None of these changes made the system more impressive to watch. Some of them made it less impressive. But they made it trustworthy.

Whisper failure recovery was added so that when the model produces garbage output, the system says so instead of presenting garbage with confidence.

The atypical speech detection got branched so that different types of speech get handled differently, rather than everything being forced through the same path regardless of fit.

The simulation UI got an honesty fix — if the demo is simulating what the system would do with a real user, it should be clear that it's a simulation, not a live result.

It's understandable — you're trying to communicate potential, and potential is easier to see when the rough edges are sanded off.
I pushed back against that instinct deliberately, across several commits in a single day.

Honest results are harder to build than good results
There's a temptation in demo design to make things look better than they are. Round the numbers up. Hide the failure cases. Show the system working, not the system struggling.
