# batch1/ — Legacy single-batch reference (current booth mode)

This is the original "one big batch file" mode. The booth currently loads from
this mode at startup.

## Where the actual files live

For historical reasons, the batch1 assets still live at the **vo-booth root**,
not inside this folder. serve.py and vo-booth.html read them from there:

| Asset | Path |
|---|---|
| Script / cue sheet | `vo-booth/script_batch1.json` |
| Reference video | `vo-booth/videos/batch1.mp4` |
| Voice stem (demucs) | `vo-booth/videos/batch1_voice.wav` (symlink into admin-cli output) |
| Music stem (demucs) | `vo-booth/videos/batch1_music.wav` (symlink into admin-cli output) |
| Pre-computed waveform | `vo-booth/waveform.json`, `vo-booth/voice_waveform.json` |
| Per-cue TC overrides | `vo-booth/corrections.json` |

This folder exists as a **signpost** so it's obvious that batch1 is one of two
reference modes. Do not move the files yet — serve.py points at the old paths
and the booth is live.

## Migration

Retiring batch1 (or folding it into `episodes/batch1/`) is explicitly deferred
until the per-episode system is proven. See
[../../../build-notes/features/episode-reference-model.md](../../../build-notes/features/episode-reference-model.md).
