+  House is the baseline 120-126 BPM 4/4 genre. Plans should include
+  sidechain work, Rhodes/keys programming, and structural long-form
+  arrangement (32-bar sections). Deep House variant leans more on
+  chord extensions and jazz/soul influence.

+notes: |
+  Microhouse asks almost always want three plans across rhythmic
+  (clip-level vocal chop edits, arrangement-family with
+  dimension_hint="rhythmic"), timbral (Simpler slicing parameters,
+  sound_design), and structural (filter-arc over 16-bar phrase,
+  transition-family or an arrangement-family long-form edit).
+
+  The genre's hallmark "no loop sounds the same" requires variation
+  generation at the sample level, not just parameter level. Reach for
+  Variations pack or probability fields before reaching for LFOs.
