Every page linked from /shiner-analysis-index, read for the AI-slop tell corpus: personified instruments, banned filler words, metaphor verbs, antithesis tails, machine-voice labels, and punctuation the house ruleset bans.
Method: ran the /deslop gate (single source: _shared/anti_ai_voice_gate.py) on all 14 pages, then re-ran with CSS, JS, and HTML comments blanked so ::before pseudo-elements and code comments drop out. Counts below are prose-only, after false positives were pulled.

8
false positives pulled
All fourteen fail. The four believeyoume reference pages carry the heaviest load; the ten song analyses share one dominant shape.
01The patterns that repeat
Six shapes account for almost every real hit. The first one is the signature of this whole set.
Instrument-refusal grammar
8 of 10 song pages
Guitars "withhold," a vamp "refuses to resolve," the song "will not say" major or minor, "the guitar refuses." Instruments are cast as actors declining to act. The fix states the literal absence: no third in the voicing.
The word "before"
7 pages
A standing house ban, since it waves at vague sequencing. Replace with "ahead of," "then," "earlier than," or the actual bar.
Metaphor verbs: names, lands, rides
believeyoume + 3 song pages
"The table names the bass," "the outro lands," "the mood rides on one voice." Swap for a plain verb: lists, arrives, depends on.
Antithesis tails
keys-modes, ixi-overview
The clever reversal: "the third is unstable, not noise," "a shift, not a uniform mode." Keep the real claim, cut the tail.
Machine-voice labels
all 10 song pages
Every analysis prints "Detected roots" and "Detected chords" as section labels. This is raw model output in prose. State the chords plainly, or label them "Chords."
Em-dash in the page title
ixi-overview, stems
Both <title> tags carry a banned em-dash. Use a colon or a comma.
02Scoreboard
Real prose tells per page after false positives were removed. Every page fails, so the count is the ranking.
Every page also carries advisory sev-2 flags, mostly the "detected roots" labels and "reads as" phrasing. Those are listed on each card as batch fixes.
03Page by page
Each quoted specimen is the live text on the page, with the offending phrase marked. The fix keeps the musical claim and drops the tell.
beforeL167the root, fifth, ninth and major seventh, before it drops to the bass
...ninth and major seventh, then it drops to the bass
04Every song page shares one sev-2: the machine label
"Detected roots" / "Detected chords" appears on all 10 song analyses
The harmonic table on each page prints a raw label like Detected roots: D♭5, F5, C5. It looks like model output pasted into prose. One batch edit fixes all ten: rename the label to Chords or Roots, or drop the label and state the chords in a sentence. Same pattern, same fix, ten pages.
05Two findings outside the voice gate
Broken flat entity renders literally
shiner-the-mutiny (L100) and shiner-the-alligator (L127) and shiner-my-mirror (L184) use ♭, which is not a real HTML entity, so the browser shows the literal text B♭ and ♭III.
The correct flat sign is ♭ (♭), which believeyoume-keys-modes already uses. Swap every ♭ for it.
False positives I pulled, so the count stays honest
CSS ::before pseudo-elements tripped the "before" ban on the believeyoume pages (the mode-button and timeline dots). Blanked and excluded.
JS comments in book-v7 ("fixes the viewBox height BEFORE the 4-string tab") are code. Excluded.
keys-modes L303 flagged ", Not Too Much." as an antithesis tail. It is a song title in a list(My Mirror Hates Me, Lazarus, Endless Summer, Not Too Much). Excluded.
keys-modes L206 flagged "bass, lead, and rhythm" as a rhythmic triple. It is a factual list of the three guitar parts. Left as texture.
