Overnight 2026-04-27 nic finalize completed. Per-user API key worked as
expected. The pipeline survived one mid-stage Immich outage via the
circuit breaker added in 62dba3d -- script paused, operator confirmed
connectivity, same command resumed from saved state.json.
Embed (Windows DML): 7,834 images -> 15,627 face records + 1 noface in
59 minutes (2.2 img/s end-to-end).
Cluster: 6,770 of 15,627 faces (43%) matched existing canonical
identities at cos-dist <= 0.45; biggest hits faceset_002 (+3,261),
faceset_008 (+1,461), faceset_001 (+955), faceset_007 (+408). The
faceset_008 and faceset_007 hits are noteworthy cross-matches: those
are hand-sorted "sab" and "s" identities, recurring frequently in nic's
library.
Of the 8,857 unmatched faces, 3,787 raw clusters at threshold 0.55,
129 surviving refine gates, 95 emitted as new facesets at faceset_265+.
Top-level facesets_swap_ready/manifest.json: 216 -> 311 substantive
facesets + 68 thin_eras unchanged.
