What should a dialogue editor check on AI-cleaned dialogue before delivery, given the failure modes and behaviours that vendor pages, repositories and papers actually document?

No source read provides a delivery checklist for AI-cleaned dialogue, so this candidate assembles one from documented behaviours and labels each check as a proposal. The documented behaviours cover timing (STFT delay, chunk re-alignment, export drift, export parity), format (mono downmix, 44.1/48 kHz), level (normalisation, rescaling), over-processing (artifacts, silent waveforms, unprocessed syllables), breath leakage, word changes in generative enhancement, tool-version defects and where the audio is processed. Room tone and ADR conventions, and disclosure of AI use to a client, are covered by other batches. Curator qualifications: All 22 excerpts located; the delivery checklist is the producer's proposal assembled from documented behaviours, labelled as such. Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
