+# New / unclassified model family: gemini-3.5-transcribe-live
+
+Provider: gemini
+Detected: 2026-08-27
+Status: NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW
+
+This model family appeared in a live /models listing but matches no classification rule (include, exclude, -preview, gemma). drift-sync never silently classifies a new family.
+
+## Decision
+<!-- drift-sync never auto-classifies a new family. To approve adding it to
+     the registry, change the line below to `Decision: include` — the NEXT
+     drift-sync run will then apply the mechanical registry edit (still
+     zero-LLM: this is a human-authored decision, not generated code). -->
+Decision: pending
