## Claim

Natural request: `turn the guitar part down a little`

Generated claim constraints:

- target_tracks: `guitar`
- direction: `down`
- source: `explicit_args`
- candidate count: `3`

## Result

- packet_status: `candidate_ready_for_listening_review`
- recommendation: `guitar -0.05`
- supported_candidates: `3`
- rejected_candidates: `0`
- state_restored_after_loop: `true`
- candidate_actions_are_transient: `true`

The recommended candidate set guitar from `0.65` to `0.60` with delta `-0.05`.

All ten objective receipts passed:

- mixer edit accepted
- candidate track matched requested intent
- candidate direction matched requested intent
- contract mixer level reflected the action
- rendered guitar metrics moved
- required instruments were preserved
- required section energy floors were preserved
- no clipping
- headroom guardrail preserved
- no low-level proof window

## Section-Energy Evidence

The packet included all supported candidates with per-section baseline/candidate/delta tables:

- `guitar -0.05`
- `guitar -0.10`
- `guitar -0.18`

For `guitar -0.05`, the proof window showed:

- Intro Bed RMS moved `0.1115 -> 0.106`
- Intro Bed loudness-style estimate moved `-19.75 -> -20.18`
- Vocal Entry RMS moved `0.2921 -> 0.2904`
- required section energy floors stayed preserved
- guardrails stayed preserved

## Boundary

This does not prove the mix is better.

It proves a natural guitar-down claim can be turned into bounded, reversible, reviewable candidates with objective receipts and a compact listening-review packet.
