> I have just named p394 in GroundSlate: he is Bob Murphy. Update the descriptions and summaries on every clip he appears in, and check the event casts picked it up.

- Nothing is re-analysed. It takes milliseconds per clip and never undoes a correction you made by hand.
- Older clips need a one time sweep before a rename reaches them. You only ask for it once.
- A clip whose description never named anyone stays generic after a refresh. It needs a reindex, not a rename.
