The first v2 "deepen the engine" arc — hypothesize, build flag-off, measure, decide. The flagship was an LLM step that rewrites a natural-language vibe into literal CLAP-trained acoustic terms before text-encoding, to clear the text encoder's weak ~0.15–0.37 cultural-descriptor scores. A label-free A/B + β-sensitivity harness (eval/vibe_ab.py) ran it live against the warm corpus and disconfirmed the premise: the acoustic translation lowers the CLAP text cosine instead of raising it (0/3 vibe seeds pass the gate), and at the production β=0.3 the vibe leg barely moves the output anyway. So the ClaudeVibeTranslator ships flag-off (VIBE_TRANSLATION_ENABLED defaults false) as dormant, fully-degradable infrastructure — the pipeline is byte-identical to pre-v2 when off — and the measurement is the deliverable, not the feature. Also couples the fusion weights (β is the knob, α=1−β) so combined_score stays in [0,1], and extracts a shared _open_query_log helper from the eval harness. 291 offline tests green.

The vibe→acoustic-terms translation flagship was disconfirmed by live measurement
(translation lowers the CLAP text cosine instead of raising it), so the translator
ships flag-off (VIBE_TRANSLATION_ENABLED=False) as dormant, fully-degradable
infrastructure — pipeline behaviour is byte-identical to pre-v2 when off.

Also couples the fusion weights: β is the env knob, α is derived as 1−β, so
combined_score stays in [0, 1] (a Codex review caught that independent knobs let
β=0.5 + default α=0.7 emit combined_score>1 and break the rendered [0,1] contract).
Label-free A/B + β-sensitivity instrument, built to measure the flagship before
shipping it. Findings: the acoustic translation lowers the CLAP text cosine rather
than raising it (0/3 vibe seeds pass the gate), and at β=0.3 the vibe leg is
near-inert (β≈0.5 needed to move the output). Measurement-first disconfirmed the
flagship. Pure metric core (spearman / vibe_ab_metrics / beta_sensitivity) is
unit-tested offline; the driver runs against a live warm corpus.
