+## Empty Replacement Text and Segment Removal
+
+Address a frequent proposal failure reported in production: the LLM supplies an
+empty string as `corrected_text`, possibly because it intends to remove the
+entire segment. That interpretation is a hypothesis, not a reliable signal of
+intent. Improve both prompting and handling so this case has a clear, consistent
+outcome rather than repeatedly producing unusable proposals.
+
+Review representative examples and distinguish deletion of a text span from
+removal of an entire segment. Define whether either operation is supported, how
+it is represented, and what validation is required. Align proposal prompts,
+response contracts, validators, application behavior, and error/recovery reporting
+with the selected semantics. If an operation is unsupported, prompts should give
+clear guidance on what the model should return instead.
+
+Do not infer authorization to delete a segment from an empty replacement alone.
+Any future support for segment removal must address meaning preservation and the
+effect on segment identity, timestamps, fixed chunks, later stages, and output.
+Coordinate with domain-aware response recovery where feedback could resolve an
+invalid proposal. Exact deletion semantics and recovery behavior remain undecided;
+this entry does not relax current validation or expand the resilience workstream.
