  "description": "Behavior profiles describe how a Wouldliker sound route behaves inside a short-form video. They are built for creators and AI-video agents that need background-bed, hook-pressure, reveal, and voice-safe guidance without forcing beat-map logic.",
  "field_definitions": {
    "energy_shape": "How the sound behaves across the clip: steady, rising, or punchy.",
    "density": "How much attention the sound consumes: low, medium, or high.",
    "role": "The job the sound should perform for the edit.",
    "voiceover_safe": "Whether the route normally works under spoken voice or long captions.",
    "hook_starts_at_ms": "When the useful part starts. For current Wouldliker routes this is usually 0.",
    "payoff_required": "Whether the clip should contain a real reveal/payoff moment.",
    "loop_friendly": "Whether repeating the bed is normally acceptable for longer clips.",
    "recommended_lengths_s": "Default lengths to plan around for agents and editors.",
    "edit_guidance": "Plain-language editing guidance for AI-video agents.",
    "first_second_priority": "What should be visible or readable in the opening second.",
    "interference_risk": "How likely the sound is to conflict with voice, dialogue, or detailed captions."

  "role_definitions": {
    "background_bed": "A steady bed that supports the clip without stealing attention. The visual edit carries timing.",
    "hook_pressure": "A stronger first-second route for claims, UGC hooks, and product pressure.",
    "reveal_support": "A route that helps a real visual payoff land: product reveal, pack pull, goal, object showcase, or before-after moment.",
    "voice_safe_motion": "A route that adds motion while keeping speech, captions, and instruction readable."
