AssemblyAI Pre-recorded Smoke Test

Overview

Run a bounded AssemblyAI pre-recorded smoke test with explicit model fallback and safe output. Treat live audio, transcript content, credentials, spend, and destructive state as separately governed boundaries.

Prerequisites

• The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
• The AssemblyAI project, environment, region, data classification, and accountable owner.
• Current first-party documentation plus credentials only for a narrowly approved live check.

Current Contract

Current pre-recorded requests require an explicit speech_models list; there is no default. Submit a consented fixture, keep its transcript ID as the job handle, and require a completed terminal state plus content-safe assertions before declaring success.

Authentication

For live work, inject ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY from an approved secret manager and send the raw value only in the AssemblyAI Authorization header to the configured first-party host. Never print, commit, place in a URL, or expose it to an untrusted client. Callback secrets and temporary streaming tokens are separate credentials.
