STEP 01 — LINGUISTIC PREPROCESSING

1. Slang Normalization & Token Scrubbing

Inbound messages are scrubbed for excessive whitespace, normalized, and scanned for everyday urban Hinglish slang (e.g., 'kya scene', 'sahi mein', 'tapri', 'arre').

Execution Trace & Telemetry
// Input: " HEYY ishita!! kya scene tapri pe?? " // Normalized: "heyy ishita!! kya scene tapri pe??" // Detected Slang: ["kya scene", "tapri"] // Latency: 2.1ms
Subsystem: app.character.language Execution Time: ~2.1ms
