Fingerprint covers video_id + sample rate. * AudioAnalyzeStage: delegate to src.audio.analyzer.analyze; finger- print covers audio_path + duration + every relevant audio setting (asr_model, compute_type, language, frame strides) + the LLM provider/model — flipping any of those invalidates this stage's cache without disturbing the upstream ingest cache. * pipeline_avatar.py: instantiate both stages; add run_audio_only() helper that returns the typed AudioAnalysis so Phase 3 work can build on top without depending on later phases. Full run() still raises NotImplementedError until Phase 5 lands motion synthesis. * stages/__init__.py: re-export the two new stages.

Default tier is now a continuous Deaf-signed clip retrieved at phrase level; WLASL stitching is permitted only as the tagged fallback.
