BELIEVEYOUME v5 — the ixi-reuse pipeline

Ten Shiner BELIEVEYOUME (2025) analysis sheets, read the way ixi reads a song: the interplay between the actual instruments, section by section, as critical prose. The method was corrected and proven on The Mutiny and So Far So, then packaged into the believeyoume-v5 skill so the rest ship without relearning a single correction. The one rule that fixed everything: reuse the vetted material, never regenerate from noisy stems.

Pipeline per song

Reuse the sources — chapter final.md (form, chords, tab), model-rebuild scores (vocal notes + lyrics), charts v1.
Author the JSON — four-fact recipe per section: bass, guitar, vocal, interaction, then one emotion line.
Render + gate — build_v5.py <song> --render --gate until GATE PASS.
Link the MIDI — host stems under believeyoume-midi/<song>/, add to deploy CHANGED.
Deploy — deploy_v5_manifest.py (manifest, bad-disk safe).
Verify live — HTTP 200 + a known lyric present.
Fraud check — session_fraud_check.py --hard-only, then grade.

Source of truth (priority order)

1 · GP chapter — owns form, chords, Drop-C tab grids. Reuse verbatim..chapters/<NN>_<song>/<NN>_<song>_final.md

2 · Model-rebuild scores — own vocal notes + lyrics. Words go ABOVE the notes, matched exactly.believeyoume-model-rebuild · R("<id>-score" …)

3 · Lyric charts — words and their alignment.believeyoume-charts/v1

Reuse, never regenerate from stems.

Mode from the vocal, not the key.

Notation + tab, both, matching the MIDI.

Each song is different, no shared template.
