Inspect and prune the literal note phrases that genre extraction harvests from a Live set (the genre file’s phrase block, introduced in v3). A phrase replays verbatim in the section it was captured from, and is re-fitted to the chords of any other section that has no phrase of its own, so a riff harvested from two sections carries across a whole song. Vibrai never authors phrase content — extraction is the only author. Curation is list plus remove on both surfaces; removal requires explicit confirmation because it rewrites the genre file irreversibly, and built-in stock genres are read-only.

list_phrases

List the literal note phrases a genre carries (harvested by extract_genre with faithful=true). Returns a bare array of rows, matching list_genres/list_genre_presets and the CLI’s phrase list --json. Each row reports the preset, part type and ordinal, source section, that section’s tension, bar count, and note count. A phrase plays back verbatim in its own section, and is re-fitted to the chords of any other section that has none of its own. An empty tension means the phrase predates the tension field and is treated as a wildcard: eligible for playback in any section, but never preferred over a phrase whose tension matches the section.
