+"""Pack-Atlas Phase C — Transplant Engine.
+
+Adapt a structure (demo track set, preset chain, workflow recipe) from one
+musical context to another.  Returns a structured translation plan + prose
+reasoning artifact.  All data comes from the local JSON sidecar layer —
+no Live connection required.
+
+Real sidecar schema (discovered 2026-04-27):
+  Demo sidecars  (~/.livepilot/atlas-overlays/packs/_demo_parses/<slug>.json):
+    {file, name, bpm, scale{root_note:str, name:str},
+     tracks[{name, type, id, device_count, devices[{class, user_name, params,
+                                                      macros[{index, value}]}],
+             routing}],
+     scenes[...]}
+    NOTE: demo-track macro entries have {index, value} ONLY — no "name" field.
+    Macro names are in _preset_parses sidecars, not demo sidecars.
+
+  Preset sidecars (~/.livepilot/atlas-overlays/packs/_preset_parses/<pack>/<slug>.json):
+    {file, name, preset_type, rack_class,
+     macros[{index, value:str, name:str}], chains, device_summary, branch_counts}
+    NOTE: "name" in macros is the producer-assigned macro label.
+
+File naming: demo sidecar files use hyphens in pack and demo slugs,
+  e.g. drone-lab__earth.json.  The spec uses underscores in entity_id strings
+  (drone_lab__earth) — this module translates automatically.
