+   *
+   *  1. The derived term would be a bare person's name. Injected raw into a
+   *     generation prompt, "annie leibovitz" reads as the SUBJECT to render,
+   *     not as an attribution — it asks for a picture OF the photographer.
+   *     Consumers inject `term` verbatim (they render `label` and inject
+   *     `term`), so the framing has to live in the term itself.
+   *  2. Per this file's own premise, the name token alone is too vague; the
+   *     model needs a little of the surrounding visual vocabulary to lock onto
+   *     the signature. So each term is `by <name>, <2-3 signature cues>` — a
+   *     compression of the promptHint's own shape, never a copy of it.
+   *     Cinematographers take the DP credit "shot by" instead.
