 ### Changed
+- **Dialogue-only merge regression coverage.** Recast/verify normalization now has explicit browser coverage proving that
+  only adjacent known-speaker dialogue merges; narration and unknown-speaker lines remain separate.
 - **Visual identity regression coverage.** Portrait and concept-sheet prompt tests now verify shared identity anchors;
   completed pairs centralize prompt-version, identity-fingerprint, and asset-digest metadata.
 - **Frontend namespace migration completed.** The remaining utility, library, cast-compatibility, i18n, and settings/log

 - [x] **P1 / M — High benefit — Identity-anchor regression tests.** Add automated coverage proving avatar and concept-sheet
   requests share canonical identity anchors and persist the prompt version used for each generated asset.

+- [x] **P1 / S–M — Medium benefit — Preserve dialogue-only merging.** Keep the dialogue-only merge for recast/verify
   outputs where adjacent pairs still occur, with regression coverage for the non-dialogue boundaries.

   stages and correct the dominant unmatched-segment class using the measured Run 3 artifacts.
