The speakers page has carried a Delete button that called
DELETE /api/speakers/{index}. That endpoint did not exist - the server
answered 405 Method Not Allowed and the button silently did nothing.
Deleting is more than dropping an entry, so the endpoint refuses to orphan
dialogue: a speaker with utterances returns 409 with the count and the list
of possible targets, and the UI asks where that dialogue should go.
reassign_to then moves every utterance recorded under the speaker's name OR
any of its aliases - utterances are frequently stored under an alias - and
keeps the old name as an alias on the target so existing references still
resolve. A speaker with no dialogue is simply removed.
Also removes the speaker's own reference audio (never the shared narrator or
general ref) and its voice_status approval entry, so a speaker re-created
later cannot inherit an approval nobody gave for it.
The button is no longer hx-delete: htmx does not swap a 409, and deleting
renumbers every speaker after it, so the handler re-renders the whole list.
Verified live on Deal Hunter, reversibly: create throwaway -> delete (200,
gone) -> recreate with an utterance attached -> delete (409, count 1, 61
targets offered) -> reassign_to=Warbots (200, utterance restored, name kept
as alias) -> compared against a pre-test backup, speaker count and utterance
count identical.
10 new tests. Suite: 708 passed, 8 pre-existing.

Commit cadence: commit at least once every Sunday. Never leave a week (let alone a month) of work uncommitted — a single accidental
git checkouton 2026-09-20 wiped out a month of changes toumbraaudio/web/routes.py. SeeAGENTS.md→ Commit Cadence.
scripts/commit_check.sh enforces the nudge: it exits non-zero once the tree has been dirty
longer than a week. The LaunchAgent com.umbraaudio.commitcheck runs it every Sunday at
18:00 and posts a macOS notification when there is uncommitted work.
scripts/commit_check.sh # warn if dirty > 7 days
scripts/commit_check.sh --days 3 # tighter threshold
scripts/commit_check.sh --any # warn on any uncommitted change
