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.
