Swiss spelling by string transform, not by prompt - #184

The Swiss orthography note asked the model for ss and umlauts and was measured useless on 2026-09-16: gpt-5.4 writes "größer" and "fuer" regardless of wording. The note is gone. German prose is now respelled on the way out: ß to ss always, ae/oe/ue to the umlaut under a heuristic (ue after a/e/q/ä, the -uell suffix, a word-final ue, a short stem list). Fences, inline spans, identifier-shaped words and diagram labels are never touched. The stream goes through the renumberer's new spell hook, which holds a word back until its end has arrived, so the reader and the record get the same text. Title, card names and follow-ups run through the same function. The eval's digraphs column now reads Answer.Respelled, the words the model wrote wrong, so the number survives the correction.

The Swiss orthography prompt note is gone: measured useless on 2026-09-16, gpt-5.4 writes "größer" and "fuer" regardless of wording. German prose is now respelled by a string function on the way out (
