-| `drum-and-bass` | drum and bass, liquid funk, neurofunk, jungle |

+| `bass` | dubstep, brostep, grime, trip-hop, big beat |
+| `dance` | house and its variants, trance, techno, electro, rave |

+Measuring first mattered. `synthwave`, `edm`, `big room` and `hardstyle` are
+plausible tags that carry **nothing at all** here, while `techstep`, `easycore`
+and `hospital records` carry real weight. Guessing produces the first list.
+
+Three kinds of tag are never used, and there is a test enforcing it:
+
+- **Nationality** — `american` alone spans 241 artists. A passport is not a
+  sound.
+- **`rock` and `electronic`** — 340 and 275 artists, most of the library. A
+  mood that matches everything is not a mood.
+- **Artist names** — Last.fm's most popular tag for an artist is frequently
+  their own name. `green day`, `paramore` and `queen` are single-artist
+  playlists waiting to happen.
+
+### Exclusions
+
+A mood may also list `exclude`. An excluded tag drops the artist outright rather
+than docking their score, and it exists because `80s-synths` cannot be written
+any other way.
+
+`80s` is the eleventh most-played tag here, and it sits on Def Leppard and Bon
+Jovi exactly as heavily as on Eurythmics. Weighting cannot separate them,
+because the tag it would weight is the one they share. What does separate them
+is that the stadium rock also carries `hard rock` and `hair metal`, and the
+synth acts do not.
+
+Checked against live Last.fm pages, since the tag census only sees artists
+already in the library:
+
+| Artist | Tags |
+| --- | --- |
+| Eurythmics | `80s`, `new wave`, `pop`, `female vocalists`, `synth pop` |
+| Frankie Goes to Hollywood | `80s`, `new wave`, `pop`, `british`, `dance` |
+| Depeche Mode | `electronic`, `synthpop`, `new wave`, `80s`, `synth pop` |
+| Duran Duran | `new wave`, `80s`, `pop`, `synth pop`, `rock` |
+
+Four of Eurythmics' five tags are ones no mood may use. Three of the four
+artists spell it **`synth pop`** with a space; only one spells it `synthpop`.
+Guessing one spelling would have missed most of the canon.

 Entries are written **relative to the playlist file**, so one playlist works

+## The cold report
+
+Which albums have files, have never had a single track played in the whole
+history, and have sat there long enough to have had the chance. Ranked by the
+disk they occupy, because that is the point of the exercise.
+
+**Album-level, not track-level.** A record with two played tracks is a record
+that gets played; picking the other ten off it leaves gaps rather than
+reclaiming anything worth having.
+
+The age floor is measured from the newest file in the album, not from the
+release date — what matters is how long it has been available to play, not how
+old the record is. `--cold-after` sets it, defaulting to a year.
+
+Artists whose *every* album is cold are counted separately. That is a different
+proposition from one cold record by somebody otherwise played, and Lidarr can
+only tag at artist level anyway.
+
+### What stops it
+
+The report refuses to produce anything at all when:
+
+- the scrobble backfill is unfinished
+- any artist failed to index, or any artist has no albums indexed
+- the library has not been indexed, or there is no history to judge against
+
+Each of those makes played music look unplayed, which is the single failure that
+costs a library. They are checked rather than trusted, because the report they
+gate is the one that ends in deletion.
+
+**Nothing is written to Lidarr.** Every call there is still a `GET`. Unmonitoring
+comes once the list has been looked at, because no flag protects against a list
+that is wrong.
