Operator dropped binaural. New direction: mellow, soothing synth with real chord
movement. docs/music-candidate-pool.md = 12 ranked + spares, all CC0 (HoliznaCC0
lo-fi) or CC BY (Kevin MacLeod calming synth), verified live. Local review gallery
simulator/static/review_music.html (gitignored). Binaural doc parked with a pointer.

11 more candidates for the 'not boring' end: MANTICE Sacred Drone series
(bassimat, CC0 — evolving composed ambient, binaural-capable via the generator
but not certified per render), HoliznaCC0 long-form ambient music (FMA, CC0, no
binaural), and shagrugge (ccMixter, CC BY, binaural-filtered vocals). Notes the
CC BY-SA 'Hang Binaural' opt-in (best musical+confirmed-binaural fit, outside the
CC0/CC-BY rule) and the NC drops. review_binaural.html now groups all 22 into
Musical / True-binaural / Ambient sections with honest binaural-status badges.
