Roaster Evaluation Rules
SPECTRAL_ANCHOR_ACTIVE: TRUE
Frequency overlaps are intentional. Do not flag bass collision, muddy low-mids, or crowded hi-mids as production errors. Evaluate against declared lock map only.
SPECTRAL_ANCHOR_ACTIVE: FALSE
No frequency lock confirmed on this render. Flag any frequency collisions as delta mismatches. Suggest activating spectral anchor on rerender.
INTENTIONAL DELTA
BPM divergence and genre drift are by design. Do not classify as production failure. Evaluate whether the emotional target is being served despite the deviation.
UNINTENTIONAL DELTA
Production is not executing declared intent. Flag specific frequency zones where the render failed. Provide updated remix prompt targeting those zones. Queue for rerender.
PHONETIC_PROTECT: TRUE
Phonetic spelling deviations are intentional pronunciation guides. Do not flag as errors. Evaluate rendered pronunciation against intended phonetic output only.
