-/**
- * @file What the language detector is FED.
- *
- * Field 2026-09-01: a Russian subtitle file was offered to the viewer as
- * `English (Stan WarHammer & Nesitach)`. The detector was not at fault — it was
- * handed the raw `.ass` file, which is half Latin markup, while the markup-free
- * WebVTT it was about to serve sat in the variable beside it. Measured on that
- * file: 5040 Latin characters against 5983 Cyrillic, `franc(the file) = eng`,
- * `franc(the dialogue) = rus`.
- * `research/subtitle-language-ass-markup-2026-09-01.md`.
- *
- * These checks pin the input at each of the three places a language is read.
- *
- * **On the size of the fixtures.** franc's answer among the Cyrillic languages
- * is not stable on a small sample: measured 2026-09-01 by growing one Russian
- * text line by line, it answered `bul` at 129 characters, `srp` at 158, 241 and
- * `bul` again at 292, then `rus` at every length from 337 to 881. So the
- * dialogue here is ~880 Cyrillic characters — past that boundary by a factor of
- * about 2.6, and still an order of magnitude below a real episode's 5983. The
- * fixtures are NOT sized to make these checks pass; they are sized to resemble
- * the thing. That instability is a separate defect and is recorded as one.
