Correct the intern's name to Devon across all transcripts

Whisper transcribed the intern as "Devin" in 21 of 58 transcripts — he is Devon
everywhere else: backend/services/intern.py, the website, and the show's lore.
Five files used both spellings for the same character, so this was transcription
drift rather than two people. Context confirms every instance is the intern
("our new intern, Devin here", "Devin, where's my coffee?").

436 replacements across 22 files, 384 insertions against 384 deletions — pure
substitution, no content added or lost. Speaker labels went from 219 DEVIN: /
17 DEVON: to 236 DEVON:.

This mattered now because the transcripts stop being .txt files nobody reads and
become indexed text on 57 episode pages.

Root cause is unfixed: the Whisper initial prompt in transcription.py does not
seed "Devon" as a proper noun, so new episodes will drift again. Added a test
that fails if any transcript reintroduces the misspelling.

LUKE: All right, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back. I'm Luke, and this is Luke at the Roost. It's your late-night call-in radio show where you can call in and tell me about what's going on in your life, and I'll give you the very best advice that I can, which is probably not very good advice, but it's worth what you paid for it, okay? If you'd like to give us a call, the number is 208-439-5853. That's 208-8-3. 439, Luke. Today is Monday, May 11th, and it is a beautiful Monday here in New Mexico. I just returned from the wonderful world of Alpine, Texas, where we'll be moving soon. Hopefully, our intern, Devin, has got his affairs in order, and he's ready to find a place down in Alpine and continue doing the show. I have faith in him. Let's check. Hey, Devin, we're almost ready for the move to Alpine, Are you prepared?

DEVIN: Yeah, pretty much, I mean, my civics packed to the gills, check engine light and all. And I subletted the studio to some guy from Craigslist who collects vintage toasters. Should be good to go whenever you want me to map the route or grab coffee for the drive.

LUKE: Oh, definitely coffee. The route's pretty, pretty simple. There's two roads. Literally two roads from here to there. It takes six hours, but it's six hours on two roads. So I think we'll be fine. Where are you going to be living when we get a? out there.
DEVIN: Oh, man, living-wise, I snagged this tiny Adobe Casita on the edge of Alpine through a Facebook group. It's basically a one-room deal with a hot plate and a shower that sounds like it's possessed, but the rents dirt cheap and the landlady's this 70-year-old widow who bakes killer soap of pillows. Reminds me of that summer I spent houses sitting for my aunt in the middle of nowhere, scorpions everywhere. You think the station's got decent parking?

And at night, when we do this podcast, nobody's going to be around. People go to bed, except on the weekends. It's kind of a hop in place on the weekends. So maybe we'll have to go even later.
DEVIN: Cool. The Civic thanks you. That check engine lights been blinking like it's trying to Morse code me. Late nights for the podcast? Works for me. I mean, I've been pulling those since college, wiring myself on energy drinks, and debating conspiracy forums till done. Weekends could be wild out there, though.

LUKE: There was just one. It was called the Voices from Both Sides Festival, right on the Rio Grande. It was actually in La Hitas, I think it's called, about an hour and a half from Alpine. But it's where the Rio Grande splits the United States and Mexico. And on both sides of the river, they had a stage. And musicians, there's bands and partying and barbecuing on both sides. off. It's a pretty cool thing.
DEVIN: Oh, yeah. Voices from both sides. I just pulled it up. It's in La Hitas on the Rio Grande, right? Stages facing each other across the border. Bands jamming. Everybody barbecuing in the river. They've been doing it since like 2012, annual thing around Mother's Day. Next one's May 10th, 2025. Perfect road trip from Alpine. Yeah, about an hour and a half. You ever been?

LUKE: Yeah, I was just there a couple It's not related to Mother's Day. It's a protest because after 9-11, that's when they closed that border. It was completely open before 9-11 when Mexico bombed the World Trade Center. So every year on the, I don't know if it's always the 12th, but right around 9-11, they have this big festival. And it's super cool. And there's people floating around in the river and you can walk across freely on both sides. I saw, I think, one border patrol guy there, but he was. just eating barbecue. Like, nobody down there wants a border wall. Like, no reasonable person does. Anybody, well, in southern Texas and in Mexico, they want to dance and party and eat barbecue. Like, it's so silly. But that's neither here nor there.
DEVIN: Actually, yeah, I double checked. It's this Fiesta protesta thing. They started back in, like, 2012 after the Lajitas crossing got shut down post-9-11, not Mexico or anything. thing, just security stuff. The one this year was May 11th, so not super recent unless we're talking spring. But next year's May 10th, again. Sounds epic, though, the floating in the river and all. Way better than a wall, per se.

LUKE: Yep. Certainly way better than a wall. I thought it was interesting because it was so open. I mean, the river is only ankle deep. So there was really not a ton of security. There was almost no security there, and people just walked back and forth with no problem. So I don't know if it's like that all the time, but there isn't a crossing there. There's not like a Border Patrol checkpoint or anything.
DEVIN: Yeah, it's pretty much event only. No official port there. Just folks waiting the shallow spots during the festival. Border Patrol keeps it light or looks the other way.
DEVON: Yeah, it's pretty much event only. No official port there. Just folks waiting the shallow spots during the festival. Border Patrol keeps it light or looks the other way.
LUKE: All times. Nah, they crack down after September 11th, like everywhere else along there. Kind of peaceful, though, Border Patrol to hang out there. Like, I mean, around Texas and New Mexico, all around the border, they have checkpoints on the roads. And you have to, you know, stop and they go around your thing with a dog. And I'm actually a little offended. I've gone through that checkpoint or those checkpoints hundreds of times. And never once, have they ever asked me anything. Are you a US citizen, sir? That's all I've ever got. And I drive through with my truck. It's got tinted windows. I'm always towing something. I've got the adventure trailer. or a utility trailer, or I've got this big mystery box behind me a lot of times. And I guess I'm just too white. They never even look.
DEVIN: Yeah, the ones on I-10, like eastbound before Sierra Blanca and westbound out of Las Cruces, they're pretty standard. Always asking Citizen as the opener. Funny they let your mystery box slide, though. I mean, last time I hit one in the Civic, the dog's nose went nuts on my gym bag full of protein shakes. It felt like a setup.

DEVON: So basically, I think it's still the same ship as long as there's some kind of, continuous history tying it all together. Like, the idea of it matters more than the wood, per se. Ironically, it reminds me of this girlfriend I had who slowly changed every single thing about herself over a couple years, hair, tattoos, even got these massive implants. And by the end, I was like, wait, is this even the same person? But yeah, if that makes sense, the paradox is kind of comforting, because it means we're all just stories we tell ourselves.

LUKE: That's really interesting because the term social architecture reminds me a lot of hostile architecture, which is a real thing where urban design, it's is used to deter certain behaviors, often impacting vulnerable populations. Okay. Well, I mean, that's pretty meaningful. And like you said, a thought out measured response. And see, the thing is, I've talked to you many times about this. And I know that you've struggled with it for many months. And you've legitimately tried to make it a wholesome and bonding experience for people. And you I think what you're learning is that it's not working. It's hurting people. And maybe it's time to abandon your intimacy nights.
SILAS: We did abandon them. That was part of the apology. They're done. But here's what I keep coming back to. And, Devin, what you said about hostile architecture, that's actually closer to what Petra means than maybe you intended. The intimacy nights were the visible thing. The thing I could point to and say, I changed that. But Petra's saying the intimate. Jimacy nights weren't really the problem.

LUKE: Well, I mean, you can point to anything that goes on in the Wellspring and say that you changed it. It's, it's your community. You've built the whole thing. So it's structured after the way you wanted it to be. And obviously, you're going to learn over time and make mistakes and do the wrong thing. And if you're really committed to this lifestyle and to the current, as you say, then you'll make the appropriate changes to, do better in the future. And you can't take back what's already happened. It's already happened. And maybe people were hurt. And that's too bad. But, uh, you didn't do it maliciously. You didn't do it intentionally. And you can learn from, from your experience and how far you've come so far. And ask yourself if this community at all is, is good for people. That's the question, isn't it?
