This candidate is a synthesis (a proposal, not an executed result) built from candidates 01 and 02. No source read defines a dubbing or narration acceptance test. The sources support a layered check: an ASR round-trip for intelligibility, a speaker-embedding cosine against the actual reference audio for voice identity, and a small blind listening comparison for naturalness, expressiveness and timing, with counts and the comparator reported. Timing, lip-sync, emotion and artefacts are not covered by any tool read here and need listening.
