Raise tail pad to 3s so short transmissions are not clipped
The recording window is anchored to OP25 control-channel timestamps, but the buffered audio lags those by roughly 1.5s. Trim logs across seven calls measured the offset at 0.84-1.62s, consistently present. At a 1.0s pad a short call closed its window before the voice arrived: a 0.97s control-channel call closed at T+1.97 while voice started around T+1.5, capturing ~0.4s of speech and cutting mid-word. Confirmed by a 0.57s file whose final 0.10s measured -12.2dB against its own -18.2dB average - clipped speech, not a tail - and by two short calls that logged no trim at all because no trailing silence remained. Being generous is free here: trim_silence already strips trailing silence back to the guard margin before upload, so long calls are unaffected while short ones gain the window they need. Over-capture costs nothing; under-capture loses words permanently. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
