    "title": "Neon stopped testing a guitar claim in a bass-focused route.",
    "summary": "The fast RiddleNode smoke loop selected guitar-down-little, but the default browser route still focused the trainer on instrument=bass. The loop now aligns the default route to instrument=guitar for narrow single-intent runs.",
    "whatWentWrong": "The candidate proof could still exercise the mixer contract, but the browser/app context was less specific than the claim.",
    "whatRiddleCaught": "The route/intent receipt now records route_instrument_aligned_to_single_intent.",
    "whyItMatters": "Claim-candidate proof should keep the target context aligned with the selected claim.",
    "whatChanged": "LilArcade's Neon intent matrix now infers the route instrument from a single selected intent unless the user explicitly passes --route.",
    "whatThisDoesNotProve": "It does not prove subjective mix quality, listener preference, or that the mix should be promoted automatically.",
