Logan CusanoandClaude Opus 5.5 7ecfca7648 Correction: reject lost numbers and growth; place verifier anchors from the talkgroup name (server-26#162, server-26#160)
transcript_correction now also discards a correction that drops or changes a
bare number the recogniser heard (the live "7" -> "ShotSpotter" case) or
grows the transcript past max(4 words, 25%). place_verifier.verify() derives
an anchor from the talkgroup's own name plus the receiving node's state when
no area is configured; no state means no anchor, and a configured place
without an anchor keeps the load-bearing skip.

"""
Place verification — is the name the corrector produced a real place *here*?
The transcript corrector (`transcript_correction.py`) substitutes sound-alikes
against a reference list. It has no way to tell whether its own output is a real
place, so "Cool Parts, Illinois" and "Shout out to Optum" are exactly as
acceptable to it as a genuine street name. This module is the check
(server-26#37).
MAPS AS A VERIFIER, NOT AS PROMPT STUFFING. Injecting every road and POI in a
town would be hundreds of names on a pass that runs on every transcribed call.
Instead we take the handful of location-shaped nouns a transcript actually
contains and ask one question per noun:
1. Geocode it, bounded by the talkgroup's anchor.
2. Inside the radius -> accept, done.
3. Outside, or no result -> look for a sound-alike that DOES resolve inside.
4. Found one -> correct to it, and propose {term, meaning} to that
talkgroup's local_knowledge as pending.
Cost scales with location nouns, not call volume, and every verified miss
permanently improves the reference data for that channel.
NO ANCHOR MEANS SKIP, NOT ACCEPT. An anchor too wide to discriminate is not
stored at all (see `area_context`), and without one this module returns
immediately. A channel nobody described may still get one from its own
talkgroup name plus the node's state (server-26#160, `_talkgroup_anchor`). A statewide radius would confirm anything inside it, which is worse
than not checking — it looks like verification and is not.
THE FREE TIER RUNS FIRST. A sound-alike among the terms the operator already
entered costs nothing and is more trustworthy than anything Maps guesses, so
`local_knowledge` and `vocabulary` are searched before any request goes out.
