CUT-017

Soft rule priority 35 domain: editing rhythm

Rationale

Uniform beat cutting can become predictable and detach from story phrasing.

IF — conditions (all must hold)

cut.every_change_on_music_beat eq true

THEN — actions

propose "vary_phrase_position_unless_mechanical_style"

This is a soft rule: when it matches it flags, proposes or annotates, but never blocks on its own.
