+# S3 Audio Input
+
+This document describes implemented S3 audio input behavior in `prepare`.
+
+## Scope
+
+Implemented:
+
+- `prepare` can acquire source audio from S3 when `session.inputs.audio_s3.prefix` is configured.
+- object listing and download go through the storage backend abstraction.
+- tests use fake storage; no live S3 service is required for test runs.
+
+Not implemented:
+
+- archive uploads (run uploads, promotion uploads, current pointer writes)
+- spool cleanup/deletion behavior
+- uploads of failed runs
+
+## Required Configuration
+
+`pipeline.yml`:
+
+- `storage.s3.bucket` must be set when S3 audio input is used.
+- `storage.s3.root_prefix` defaults to `dnd`.
+- `spool.root` defaults to `/var/spool/narratio`.
+
+`session.yml`:
+
+- configure `session.campaign` and `session.session_id`.
+- configure `session.inputs.audio_s3.prefix` for S3 audio input.
+- do not configure `inputs.audio_dir` or `inputs.audio_files` at the same time as `inputs.audio_s3`.
+
+## Prefix Shape
+
+Session S3 root:
+
+`{root_prefix}/campaigns/{campaign}/sessions/{session_id}/`
+
+Audio prefix:
+
+`{session_root}/{audio_s3.prefix}`
+
+Example:
+
+`dnd/campaigns/forsaken/sessions/2026-04-19/audio/`
+
+Audio files must already exist in S3 before running Narratio.
+
+## Prepare Behavior
+
+When `inputs.audio_s3.prefix` is configured, `prepare`:
+
+1. lists objects under the computed S3 audio prefix
+2. filters to `.flac` objects
+3. fails when no `.flac` objects are found
+4. downloads selected objects to spool audio:
+   - `{spool.root}/{campaign}/{session_id}/{run_id}/audio/`
+5. materializes audio into workdir audio:
+   - `{workspace.root}/work/{campaign}/{session_id}/{run_id}/audio/`
+6. records input provenance in the manifest (bucket, key, metadata, local paths, checksum)
+
+Notes:
+
+- `.flac` filtering is case-insensitive.
+- ETag is recorded as provider metadata only and is not treated as a checksum.
+
+## Local Audio Development
+
+Local audio workflows remain supported:
+
+- `inputs.audio_dir`
+- `inputs.audio_files`
+
+These options are mutually exclusive with `inputs.audio_s3`.
+
+## Archive Boundary
+
+Current archive behavior remains unimplemented in this area:
+
+- no upload of source audio by default
+- no upload of failed runs
+- no `current/manifest.json` or `current/run_id.txt` writes
