Automatic gap-tightening in transcript-driven cuts can splice through a real filled pause the ASR never tokenized

Cut-list builders that collapse inter-word gaps above a threshold (e.g. gap > 0.55s shrinks to 0.22s) assume the gap is silence. Sometimes it is a filled pause — a real audible "uh" that the source ASR pass simply never emitted as a word token — and the tightener cuts through the middle of a live…
