The bug

Delete an amber clip from the timeline and its generated asset plus its one-word transcript stay in the document. The word stays in the transcript pane, playing nowhere, and its file stays on disk.

Found while de-risking the #569 merge: a test project here carries four orphaned ext:synth_* assets, referenced by no clip and no track.

Why

Only the transcript pane's delete dropped that media — and that is not the delete the user performs. The trash icon on the clip calls removeClip, the assistant calls the tool of the same name, and neither has ever heard of an insertion. Neither should. Same hole one lane over: the trash on a voice-over pill calls removeAudioTrack.

The fix

One sweep, where the deletes converge, beside the asset drop it generalises (#350): media generated from a word is owned by the one clip or track that plays it, so when the last thing playing it goes, it goes.

Scoped to generated ids on purpose. A recording whose last clip is deleted must stay in the document, or Restore full timeline has nothing to restore.

removeGeneratedClips and removeGeneratedTracks then stop doing it by hand — the first is now one line. Net +86/−25 including tests.

Checks

Three tests that failed before it, one per delete path plus the ordinary-clip control. Full suite green (2644).

Not fixed here

extensionClipPath names the file {wordId}_{durationMs}.mp4, so two different words of the same length already share a path. Harmless while the media is a mire of that duration; it needs a content hash the day TTS lands, with or without this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Removing generated clips now also removes their associated generated audio and transcript data.
    • Deleting generated audio tracks or timeline items consistently cleans up unused generated media.
    • Timeline and audio track layouts remain correctly synchronized after generated content is removed.
    • Prevented orphaned generated assets from remaining in documents after editing actions.
    • Existing primary media remains available when the last recording clip is removed.

Walkthrough

Generated-media cleanup is centralized in dropUnusedGeneratedMedia. Clip and audio-track deletion paths now remove unreferenced generated assets and transcripts. Tests cover both deletion paths.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b580f

Deleting an ordinary clip should retain generated media and its transcript. The current coverage could miss a regression that removes the transcript while leaving the generated clip visible, causing missing transcript data.

Deleting an amber clip from the timeline left its generated asset and its
one-word transcript in the document. The word stayed in the pane, playing
nowhere, and its file stayed on disk.

Only the transcript pane's delete dropped that media, and that is not the
delete the user performs. The trash icon on the clip calls `removeClip`, and
the assistant calls the tool of the same name; neither has ever heard of an
insertion, and neither should. Same hole one lane over: the trash on a
voice-over pill calls `removeAudioTrack`.

So the rule goes where the deletes converge, as one sweep beside the asset
drop it generalises (#350): media generated FROM a word is owned by the one
clip or track that plays it, and when the last thing playing it goes, it
goes. Scoped to generated ids — a recording whose last clip is deleted must
stay, or "Restore full timeline" has nothing to restore.

`removeGeneratedClips` and `removeGeneratedTracks` then stop doing it by
hand; the first is now one line.

Found while de-risking the merge: four orphaned `ext:synth_*` assets in a
test project, referenced by no clip and no track.
The one calling itself the ordinary-clip control deleted the generated clip,
so it repeated the test above it and guarded nothing. CodeRabbit caught it.

Replaced with the two properties the scoping decision actually rests on: the
recording survives when its LAST clip goes, which is the branch that empties
the timeline and the reason `restoreFullTimeline` still has a duration to read;
and generated media survives when a delete happens elsewhere while the
insertion is still on the timeline.

Assert that the generated transcript remains.

The ordinary-clip control checks the generated asset and clip, but it does not check the generated transcript. If cleanup removes the transcript while the asset remains, this test still passes. Add an assertion for ext:synth_1 in back.transcripts.

Proposed fix
 		expect(back.assets.map((a) => a.id)).toEqual(["a1", "ext:synth_1"]);
+		expect(back.transcripts.some((t) => t.assetId === "ext:synth_1")).toBe(true);

Branched from the orphaned-media fix rather than from main, so the candidate
