- pre-scan all inputs before chunking so ready files stay out of batches\n- start overall progress at the already-finished count\n- count skipped/resumed files correctly in sequential and staged runs\n- keep batches full and log ready/pending counts before starting\n- avoid importing Torch at startup or in cleanup for separation-only runs\n- move TF32 setup into lazy WhisperX model loading\n- detect the GPU through nvidia-smi for the GUI status line
