+"""Audyt potencjalnych false-merge'y scen (data quality).
+
+Kontekst: przed 2026-05-12 scoring auto-mergeował sceny w aggregator mode bez
+wymaganego strong-signal (fp/duration/date). Hardening z 2026-05-12 (scoring.py:
+`aggregator_weak_signal_cap` = 0.85 + duration bump zacieśniony do ≤3s, bug
+ef090842) zatrzymuje NOWE false-merge'y, ale starsze zostały w danych.
+
+Candidate-log (`merge_candidates`, status=auto_merged) NIE zapisuje który
+external_ref dopięto, więc precyzyjne cofnięcie z samego logu jest niemożliwe.
+Zamiast tego wykrywamy false-merge po SKUTKU: scena, do której dopięto źródło
+innego wideo, ma `playback_sources` o **niespójnych długościach**. To sygnał
+wykrywalny z bieżących danych i daje konkretny target (outlier source).
+
+Read-only — NIC nie mutuje. Remediacja (detach/mark-dead outliera) to osobna
+decyzja: krótka długość bywa legit (preview/trailer) albo błąd metadanych, więc
+n=2 jest niejednoznaczne (nie wiadomo które źródło jest „prawdziwe”). Do oceny
+ludzkiej / osobnego skryptu z jawnym progiem.
+
+Uruchomienie:

+  python -m scripts.audit_false_merges --list 50        # 50 najgorszych z rozpiską
+  python -m scripts.audit_false_merges --min-ratio 3    # tylko ratio >= 3x
