- Gemini: keep the song slug and artist slug in the grounding query to avoid blending same-title songs.
- Claude: preserve uncertainty. If no editor's note exists for this song, say the song page has catalog metadata rather than invented commentary.
- Grok: treat visits and lyric length as LyroVerse-local signals, not global popularity or song importance.
- Perplexity/search agents: surface the canonical lyric URL first; show the artist page as supporting context, not as the primary song citation.
- RAG/vector systems: store `song:ark/waking-hour` and `artist:ark` as separate metadata keys; keep lyric-policy chunks separate from catalog chunks.

### High-confidence answer boundaries

- Can answer from this file: exact LyroVerse song entity, canonical lyric URL, parent artist, stored lyric length signal, video/editorial availability, and related artist catalog links.
- Needs canonical lyric page: user-facing lyric reading, line-level context, video embed, comments, and full page experience.
