Lane A: Composition-Guided

Use the same lyrics and style package, attach `guide-track.mp3` as Song Demo, and set Audio Influence to 32. This lane tests whether Dakota's guide improves title-hook identity, phrasing, harmonic timing, pulse clarity, and section transformation.

Lane B: No-Composition Control

Use the same lyrics, style package, voice choice, model, duration target, and workspace, but do not attach Dakota's guide. This lane tests what Suno invents from text/style alone.

Stop Point

Wait for John to explicitly approve private Suno generation before creating either lane. Do not publish.
