1. Strict Structural Partitioning Standard

Episode titles in the radioindex architecture are restricted strictly to the pure artistic name of the story, episode, or musical composition. All secondary metadata has been segregated into its proper schema attributes:

{
  "title": "Hound of the Baskervilles",
  "genres": ["Mystery", "Detective", "Sherlock Holmes", "Basil Rathbone", "Nigel Bruce"],
  "story": {
    "title": "Hound of the Baskervilles",
    "part": 1
  },
  "description": "Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate the legendary spectral hound terrorizing the heirs of Baskerville Hall on Dartmoor."
}

Prohibited in v["title"]:

• ❌ Performer attachments: "with [Name] and [Name]", "starring [Name]", "[Initials/Name]", "(Hurndall)", "[Harold Ballew]"
• ❌ Distribution / syndication labels: "(Syndicated)", "- Syndicated", "Syndication"
• ❌ Audio / physical source notes: "(Poor Sound)", "(Aircheck)", "(Network Master)", "(Pre Empted Never Broadcast)"
• ❌ Multi-part numbers in titles: "Part 1", "- Pt 2", "Part 4 of 17" (stored exclusively in v["story"])
• ❌ Broadcast date stamps: "14 August 1945", "6 June 1944" (stored exclusively in v["released"])
• ❌ Opening track prefixes: "First Song - " (stripped to leave pure song title)
