P1 of #12150: transcript text no longer reaches call logs or durable memory in the clear.
Reconciled on merge — the two persisted-requestBody assertions were failing, and the failure signature was misleading enough to be worth recording. They reported "expected: true, actual: false", which reads like the redaction not applying. It was not: pollForCallLog waited at most 120 tries x 20ms = 2.4s for the asynchronous SQLite write, then returned null, so assert.ok(row) failed before any redaction assertion ran. The observed durations were 5253ms and 4467ms against that 2.4s ceiling — a starved runner, not a leak. The control test failing alongside the positive one was the tell: a real redaction defect would break one direction, not both.
Replaced the fixed try count with a 30s wall-clock deadline: far past any healthy write, still bounded, and a fast machine still returns on the first pass. A privacy test should not depend on how busy the box is.
Verified: 4/4 three consecutive times under synthetic load, and 3/3 unloaded beforehand. Note the synthetic load reached ~7, below the ~38 where the original failure appeared, but the budget is now 12.5x larger and deadline-based rather than count-based.
FU-05 core (closes#11652): caller-supplied Video Bridge transcripts had no bounded, deterministic contract — a client could self-assert source: "embedded"/"audio-bridge" and it was accepted verbatim. normalizeVideoTranscript gained a code-only trustedSource seam unreachable from request-body JSON; without it, any cue declaring embedded/audio-bridge is reclassified to client. Added budgets (256 cues, 4096 code units/cue, 4KiB/cue, 64KiB total), malformed-surrogate rejection, focus-window scoping, deterministic cross-source reconciliation, and bumped the result-cache version v4→v5 so old-contract cache entries can never serve new-contract requests.
All 187 videoBridge* tests pass (185 pass, 2 unrelated pre-existing skips).
