kennethreitz faa3522956 Repetition is refrain, not rhyme
Identical words/phrases no longer form a color group on their own — a
group colors only once a differing word rhymes into it. Repeated
endings still share a scheme letter (refrains scan), and a repeated
unrhymed ending no longer flags as "unanswered".

kennethreitz 478870b4a2 Rime keys strip leading onsets from unstressed pronunciations
CMU's unstressed "this" (DH IH0 S) has no stressed vowel, so its
rhyming part included the onset and founded a consonant-led key the
coda-nest fuse couldn't parse — repeated "this" fell out of the
wrist/assist/shit chain in full songs. Rimes now always start at a
vowel.

kennethreitz f56d03eabf Coda-nesting fusion, s/z neutralization, wrapping draft tabs
- Single-vowel perfect families whose coda classes nest fuse into one
  chain: wrist (IH S T) hubs this (IH S) and shit (IH T), which ride
  as slant satellites — Logic's hook reads as one color
- Final s/z voicing neutralizes in coda classes and weak-ending keys:
  vamonos rhymes dominoes
- The drafts bar wraps instead of scrolling, so many drafts stay
  visible

kennethreitz fcf18f627c Cadence families and unanswered endings
Two starred ideas, zero new chrome:
- Rhythm dots take a shared color when 2+ lines have the identical
  stress contour (5+ syllables) — flow rhymes, visible
- Line-endings with no rhyme partner get a faint gray fill in the
  rhyme layer: the open loops that show where to strike next

kennethreitz c7af71ac75 Three lookup/layer upgrades: ticks, senses, alliteration
- Rhyme/synonym chips already in your draft get a gold tick
- Word card shows WordNet sense count (3+) — double-entendre fuel
- "alliteration" toggle underlines words sharing an initial sound
  (locally clustered, 3+ words), in the editor and the PNG export:
  fills = tail sound, underlines = head sound

kennethreitz 56ec754c5f Rapper-native: ad-lib awareness and a bar counter
Inline (parentheticals) are delivery, not text — they no longer rhyme
or steal the line-ending slot ("...bunch (yeah)" rhymes on bunch).
The readout leads with "bar 3/16" for the caret's place in its verse.

kennethreitz e1b47e3af7 Remove the Mosaics tool; def card stops rebuilding on submode clicks
The two-word generator goes (the /api/word phonetics card stays);
the definition card now belongs to the word — switching Rhymes/
Synonyms only swaps the list, and a dismissed card stays dismissed
until a new word is looked up.

kennethreitz e45fbf6eb3 Mosaics: first-vowel anchoring and honest empties
Anchoring at the first vowel instead of the stressed rime lets
tonight rebuild as "a night"; single-letter left words return with a
rank penalty; indexes warm at boot; the no-results message stops
blaming syllable count.

The pass-4 suppression predates fills-only rendering; mind/time now
pair even while «all this time» rides its mosaic.

kennethreitz 43bbd527a4 Sidebar exploration tools: mosaics, phonetics, draft cross-reference
- Mosaics submode: two-word phrases that rhyme with a word perfectly,
  built by splitting its rime and searching both halves with reduced-
  vowel squeezing (placement -> place meant, creation -> way shun)
- Definition cards show phonetic anatomy (/phones/ · syllables ·
  stress dots · the rhyming tail) and what the word already rhymes
  with in your draft
- Secondary pronunciations only claim partners within 4 lines, so the
  verb pred-i-KATE can't hand predicate to a distant hook's "eight"

kennethreitz daa4b7e8c9 Cut display noise: refrain muting and local consonance
Words a draft uses 4+ times (niggas, bitch, Money) stop lighting up
mid-line — their line-end uses still rhyme. Consonance clusters break
on gaps over two lines: speech can't light keep from eight lines away.
Locks the swimmers/finisher/twist-her chain with a test.

kennethreitz f15712a3da Schwa-heavy phrases pair only with parallel phrases
A phrase run with <2 full vowels can't barge into a word family
("Two bitches" -> the Tuna chain) but may pair with a structurally
parallel phrase (clock's ticking / stop tripping).

kennethreitz c8b126d539 Weak endings demoted to a last-resort pass
The -er weak key was claiming commissioner/finisher before the
multisyllabic pass could unite them with militia — Wayne's chain
split into two colors. Weak endings (infancy/see) now run dead last.

kennethreitz 35b68cf7b8 Cot-caught merger + end-position assonance for phrases
AO merges into AA except before R (thought/lot, off/forgotten; car/
core stay apart). Line-ending phrases may rhyme on their pure vowel
run like end words always could — "forgotten" / "off of" lands.

kennethreitz 8b7ac40f51 Weak endings carry their coda
The weak-end key is now the full final-syllable rime in its own
keyspace, and groups advertise their founding rime's final syllable:
infancy still joins see/be/me (open IY), but screams (IY M Z) no
longer rides the divinity/entirety family.

kennethreitz a8c076163d Weak endings rhyme at line ends
Feminine rhymes anchor on the unstressed final syllable: infancy
joins see/be/me (Lateralus). End-slant pass tries the bare final
vowel as a fallback key, with claiming.

kennethreitz aeb3fcdbfc Neutralize NEAR/CURE vowels before R; un-stopword "here"
CMU's fear (IH R) now rhymes with hear/here (IY R) as it does in
every English dialect; same merge for UH/UW before R. "here" earns
back internal-rhyme rights — poets rhyme it constantly.

kennethreitz 2b9395f0ee Exact rime lets stopword-anchored phrases pair with words
Prufrock's "is it" / "visit" are phone-for-phone identical; identity
evidence overrides the anchor rule. Stopword-anchored phrases still
can't form groups among themselves.

Groups advertise members' high-specificity mosaic keys (2+ full
vowels) for attachment, and a both-halves-taken phrase may join any
family except its anchor's own — Gambino's "pass the time" now ties
to mastermind/rind across the Mass/pass claim.

Three-word vowel mosaics (mean to it / seen do it / theme music) now
group, gated hard: the mosaic must draw a full vowel beyond its anchor
word, and all-phrase buckets mirroring the same two word groups stay
suppressed. Scheme readout truncates at 16 letters; draft tabs cap at
170px with ellipsis.

four-inch and door hinge join the orange/storage/porridge clan even
though four/door and inch/hinge each rhyme on their own — a phrase
whose target group differs from both halves' groups carries new
information. The full orange verse is now a test.

kennethreitz 56f2332ed2 Coda consensus: phrases can join vowel-founded groups
When a slant group's founding key is vowel-only but 2+ members agree
on a coda (orange/pourage both AO-R-schwa), the consensus key is part
of the group's sound — door hinge joins from its own line now.

- V+schwa phrases now need their coda consonant to agree with the
  family they join: door hinge keeps orange's R, sloth hugs no longer
  rides over/shoulder. 3-vowel and full-vowel phrase runs unchanged.
- Synonyms lemmatize the query (keys -> key) and return sections:
  synonyms, opposites, broader, related (antonyms, hypernyms,
  satellites, derivational forms) — frequency-ranked, deduped.

KET-a-mine can now rhyme from its first primary stress, not just its

buckets claim biggest-first since tokens carry several anchor keys.

kennethreitz c60b9d6d43 Overlapping rhyme layers: phrases as a second visual channel
Phrases now compete in the perfect-rhyme pass anchored at their first
word's stressed vowel ("stir up" = ER AH P = "syrup"), render as
underlines while words render as fills, and can overlap in different
colors — the syrup/cup knot finally displays both schemes. Stopword-
anchored phrases attach only on exact rime identity. Segment-based
highlight renderer replaces the span-per-token one.
