    "title": "An added opening shifts cues without changing their words",
    "context": "Dummy edit timelines describe an original short script. Time is measured in seconds from each cut's start, and no frame-rate conversion is required.",

    "question": "Which cut does CA directly support, and what timing difference follows for the line in Cut B without implying a text error?",
    "answer": "PT1 directly supports CA's 5.0–6.0-second cue for Cut A. PT2's explicit two-second opening moves the same line to 7.0–8.0 in Cut B. PT3 confirms the words but shows the unchanged cue, so the documented issue is alignment rather than transcription. Preserve source-cut identity and the edit map when proposing a retiming review; no corrected export has yet been recorded.",
