Break the old god module into flat siblings for CLI parsing, run lifecycle, daemon state, shared processing helpers, benchmark tooling, and maintainer-only model sync so changes stop sharing one giant import graph.
Keep aman as a thin shim over aman_cli, move sync-default-model behind the hidden aman-maint entrypoint plus Make wrappers, and update packaging metadata plus maintainer docs to reflect the new surface.
Retarget the tests to the new seams with dedicated runtime, run, benchmark, maintainer, and entrypoint suites, and verify with python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p "test_*.py", python3 -m py_compile src/*.py tests/*.py, PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m aman --help, PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m aman version, and PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m aman_maint --help.
Make the milestone 3 runtime story predictable instead of treating doctor, self-check, and startup failures as loosely related surfaces.
Split doctor and self-check into distinct read-only flows, add tri-state diagnostic status with stable IDs and next steps, and reuse that wording in CLI output, service logs, and tray-triggered diagnostics. Add non-mutating config/model probes, a make runtime-check gate, and public recovery/validation docs for the X11 GA roadmap.
Validation: make runtime-check; PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_*.py'; python3 -m py_compile src/*.py tests/*.py; PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m aman doctor --help; PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m aman self-check --help. Leave milestone 3 open in the roadmap until the manual X11 validation rows are filled.
Keep the daemon path on the full ASR result so word timings and detected language survive into the editor pipeline instead of falling back to a plain transcript string.
Add PipelineEngine.run_asr_result(), have aman call it when live ASR data is available, and cover the word-aware alignment behavior in the daemon tests.
Collapse the llama cleanup flow to a single JSON-shaped completion while leaving the legacy pass1/pass2 parameters in place as compatibility no-ops.
Validated with PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest tests.test_aiprocess tests.test_aman.
