Backend: three new routes on the calls router, deliberately separate from
PATCH /{call_id}/transcript (a production correction with real side effects
-- re-extraction, incident unlinking, vocabulary learning). This is pure
measurement and must never share that code path.

  GET  /calls/eval-queue        -- calls with a transcript but no
                                    eval_transcript yet, paged (same bounded-
                                    window-plus-cursor shape as /search)
  PUT  /{call_id}/eval-transcript -- records eval_transcript/_by/_at only;
                                      never touches transcript/transcript_corrected
  GET  /calls/eval-stats        -- eval_count + average word error rate of
                                    the raw and corrected machine transcripts
                                    against the human-verified ones

internal/wer.py: standard word-level Levenshtein WER. Returns None (not 0.0)
when the reference is empty -- a call nobody transcribed must not score as a
perfect match.

Frontend: a new "STT Eval" tab on /admin -- one call at a time, audio player,
a textarea pre-filled with the machine transcript to correct into ground
truth, Save & next / Skip, running WER stats at the top. Built for working a
handful of calls at a time over however many sittings it takes, not a
one-shot form: the queue auto-refills from where the last save left off.

Verified: 438 pass, 0 fail (12 new backend tests). Frontend is UNVERIFIED --
this box has no Node.js/npm (confirmed absent), so neither typecheck nor the
dev server could be run. Matches existing code patterns and the CallRecord/
c2api types by manual review only.

A batch of calls that have a machine transcript but no human-verified one
yet — the backend for the STT eval page (server-26#163).
Deliberately separate from `PATCH /{call_id}/transcript`: that route is a
PRODUCTION correction — it re-runs extraction, unlinks incidents, and
feeds the vocabulary learner. An eval annotation must never trigger any
of that; it only exists to measure the pipeline, not to change what it
already decided. `eval_transcript` lives next to `transcript`/
`transcript_corrected` on the call doc and nothing downstream reads it.
Same bounded-window-scan-plus-cursor shape as `/search`, for the same
reason: no composite index exists for "eval_transcript is unset", and one
scan ordered by started_at is already trusted here. Paging through with
the returned cursor is how "however many, over time" actually works —
each call is where the last session left off, not a fresh random sample.

Whole-collection scan, matching `GET /calls` (list_calls above) rather
than the bounded-window pattern the paged routes use: the eval set this
is measuring is built a few calls at a time and expected to stay small
(tens to hundreds), so a full scan filtered in Python is the honest
answer rather than a windowed guess that could miss eval'd calls sitting
outside a recency window.
