-## Speech starts and silent pauses
-
-Pause silencing detects speech on the **pre-denoise** audio with pinned Silero
-VAD v5.1 ONNX weights (a ~2.3 MB CPU-only download on first use). After
-EQ/dynamics, gaps outside protected speech fade to zero before loudness
-normalization, leaving the timeline unchanged unless you enable
-`--trim-silence`. Defaults protect 120 ms before and after detections, use
-10 ms fades, and require an 80 ms silent core; shorter gaps are left alone.
-Enable it in `config.toml` (`pause_silence = true`) or with `--pause-silence`.
-
-- `--pause-threshold 0.35`: lower = preserve more possible speech.
-- `--pause-pre-ms` / `--pause-post-ms`: padding around detected speech.
-- `--pause-min-ms` / `--pause-fade-ms`: silent core and fade lengths.
-- `--no-pause-silence`: bypass this stage; combine with `--no-denoise` to
-  avoid all AI model/runtime downloads.
-
-The detector can miss whispers, breaths, or unusual speech; if it detects
-**no speech**, cleanup fails open with a warning instead of muting the file.
-Denoising and pause silencing are different jobs: this stage does not restore
-consonants a denoiser has already removed. Audition the result before

-## Troubleshooting
-
-- **Bootstrap fails:** the first run needs `uv` or Python 3 with venv support
-  and network access to PyPI. Install the missing tool and rerun.
-- **CUDA unavailable:** run `./producer.sh doctor`, check `nvidia-smi` and the
-  driver, then retry `./producer.sh setup --device cuda`. Or use `--device cpu`.
-- **Sounds watery or thin:** lower the denoise strength (`--denoise-strength
-  0.65`) or compare profiles with `preview`.
-- **Word attacks sound soft or ramp up:** AI denoisers can soften consonant
-  onsets. Try `--denoiser clearvoice` (larger non-causal model that sees more
-  attack context), lower `--denoise-strength`, or compare against
-  `--no-denoise` to locate the culprit.
