Root cause of the "4 people → 2 speakers" Meet call: the colored-border detector
read solid camera-off avatar tiles (orange "J", magenta "G") as active speakers
for the ENTIRE call. Those whole-call phantom spans dominated backend name
attribution, collapsing every remote voice onto one name — and the giant filled
bbox also swallowed screen-share text (WERUNBTC.COM ×49) as a speaker.
Validated against 9 real fixtures (harness over the real MeetAdapter):
Detection:
- FrameSampler.thinColoredPoints: coloured counterpart of thinWhitePoints — keeps
thin border/ring/pill edges, drops solid colour fills.
- GridCallAnalyzer.isHollow: reject a highlight component whose interior is filled
(a solid tile) vs a hollow ring (a real border). Config.maxInteriorFill (0.2 default).
- MeetAdapter: detect thin BLUE edges only (hue 180–240°, measured from the
fixtures), maxInteriorFill 0.3 (real Meet rings ≈0.2–0.3, solid tiles ≈0.36).
- Result on fixtures: John Arnold/Grant Gilliam (solid tiles) now NEVER detected;
Matt Odell/Mark detected when their blue cue is present. Sparse but never wrong —
correct for a naming hint over audio diarization.
OCR name hygiene:
- isLikelyName rejects domain-like screen-share text ("WERUNBTC.COM", OCR'd ".GOM").
- cleaned() strips trailing punctuation ("Mark." → "Mark").
- TimelineBuilder.canonicalizeByFrequency folds rare OCR misspellings into a
dominant near-twin name ("Matt Odel"/"MattOdell" → "Matt Odell", "Mare" → "Mark").
Tests: hollow-ring, extended OCR filter, fuzzy-merge. 65 pass.
