8-gen bench (4 emotions × 2 corpora) at seed=42 against firdhokk
Whisper-LV3:
target RAVDESS CREMA-D
happy happy (0.999) ✓ happy (0.999) ✓
angry neutral (0.92) sad (0.99)
fearful happy (0.998) fearful (0.984) ✓
sad angry (0.99) fearful (0.99)
CREMA-D 2/4 vs RAVDESS 1/4. Larger / more naturalistic corpus
produces more class-pure fearful direction. Neither corpus solves
angry or sad — recipe shifts into 'vague expressivity' rather than
class-specific corners.
Practical: prefer CREMA-D when available; A/B both per emotion if
class precision matters.

Two real bugs found via code inspection against HF source:
1. candle's .gelu() is the tanh approximation; PyTorch's default 'gelu'
activation (used in WavLM via ACT2FN['gelu']) is the exact erf-based
version. Switched all 3 sites (feature extractor convs, pos_conv,
FFN) from .gelu() to .gelu_erf() to match the reference.
2. gru_rel_pos_const lookup used vb.pp("name").get(shape, "") which
resolves to "<prefix>.name." (trailing dot) and fails to find the
tensor. The .or_else(|_| zeros) silently swallowed the failure,
leaving all 12 layers' gating constants at zero instead of the
trained values. Fixed to attn.get(shape, "gru_rel_pos_const") which
resolves correctly.
examples/wavlm_sv_inspect.rs: utility for sanity-checking specific
tensors inside converted safetensors (e.g. layer_weights).
Same-content same-speaker cosine: 0.9985 -> 0.9963 (≈unchanged).
Cross-content same-speaker cosine: 0.4882 -> 0.4118 (still drifting).
Phase 5d (Python reference comparison) remains the gate for
identifying the residual numerical drift.
