Latest PDF and latest HTML of the BELIEVEYOUME monograph — do they match, what was the last action, and exactly what remains before the file is correct to hand a publisher.
Audit run 2026-06-15 · source of truth MANUSCRIPT.md (last edit Jun 15) · 10 songs · 21,670 words · 97 pp · now carries per-section mode reads
There are three layers of the BELIEVEYOUME prose at different completeness. The published files render the middle one. The new-style candidate on the left is the deepest prose, and it has never been rendered. The catch the open chats surfaced: the real final product is not prose alone, it is the ixi per-section format, the three-paragraph close read fused with the four-stave score, per section, per song, rebuilt now via build_sheet.py + workflow wf_911714e7.
The newest PDF and HTML on disk. They match each other, but both are the designed edition, not the new-style candidate.

Tonal center is resolved & corrected for all 10. The open work is the major/minor quality ear-check — the third lives in the voice on these songs, so only Brandon's listen flips verified:false → true.

A parallel chat compared believeyoume-charts/v1 against the Jun 12 PDF. The PDF is the newer stem-verified side; the v1 charts carry the stale labels. Fixes are relabel, not re-transcription (chord roots are bass-derived and sound).
| Song | v1 charts say | PDF says | Severity | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Alligator | Gm | G major | HARD | Relabel charts to G major; Gm was a detector artifact the PDF already corrected |
| Jackie | C minor (TOC) / F (data-key) | E♭ major | TRIPLE | Three different answers incl. an internal chart contradiction; settle on E♭, fix TOC + data-key |
| Endless Summer | B♭ major | F Mixolydian | SOFT | Same 7 notes, tonic-label dispute only; pYIN vocal-stem pass agreed with the tab MIDI |
| So Far So | B♭ pedal read as home | D minor (B♭ = ♭VI) | SOFT | Most-dwelt bass note is not the tonic; keep D minor label |
Eight chats are working the BelieveYouMe deliverable in parallel. This is the single map of who owns what and where each stands. running now, idle.
| Chat | Owns | State today |
|---|---|---|
| Shiner / BYM examples | Rebuild the ixi per-section format: 3-paragraph close read fused with the 4-stave score (vocal + chords + bass), per section, per song | The format was split (prose in believeyoume-book, staves in model-rebuild). Workflow wf_911714e7, 19 agents, fact-checking + engraving each section |
| Conflicts charts vs PDF | Reconcile charts/v1 against the PDF keys | 4 conflicts found (Alligator hard, Jackie triple, Endless Summer + So Far So soft); pYIN vocal-stem pass confirming |
| BelieveYouMe revision status | The new-style per-song restyle; "where is the real PDF" | All 10 tonics resolved from stems; candidate manuscript named as the real book |
| SHINER BELIEVE deadline review | Deadline + fraud/dropped-ball audit, apology + 1-hour triage | Live at shiner-bym-deadline-audit; 4/10 fully audited; ~55 min to presentable |
| BELIEVEYOUME book review | Page-by-page editorial critique of believeyoume_book.pdf | Mid-review, ended on a rate-limit; chart-lane vs MIDI-lane separation praised |
| My Mirror Hates Me chart | Fix chord-to-lyric drift in charts/v1 | Drift-proof chord-block done (each chord bound to its lyric run); verifying the notation toggle |
| HFE stems / BYM charts | The stem-player pages that "never work" | Resolved: charts/stems serves 70/72, hfe-stems plays all 22 songs |
| Dashboard MIDI key/mode | Why keys and not modes, can MIDI tell | Answered: band averages dark, singer answers bright, both reads correct, the disagreement is the content |
Two horizons. The deadline-day fixes make the client-facing pages presentable in under an hour. The book decisions below make the full edition correct.
