A reusable helper narrowed the observed benefit
The supplied status report describes matching MIDI outputs and a catalogue contract that did not fit the publication task. Underlying output records were not independently reviewed for this publication.

Method
The reported screen reused the already-written MIDI helper on four actual sources and inspected whether the existing catalogue contract could represent the publication register.
Findings
- The report states that all four paired MIDI excerpts matched event, timing, track, duration and summary checks and were byte-identical.
- A further source produced a structured package refusal versus a helper exception. A one-line correction was made in a separate helper copy; only that failing refusal probe was rerun.
- The register required distinct publication dates, edition identity, status and evidence. Submission dates were not substituted for publication dates, and no forced import was performed.
Limits of the finding
- This entry is based on the supplied status summary. The underlying actual-file archive was not located during the publication review; the numerical findings remain reported rather than independently verified here.
- No source music, register records or identifying filenames are published. Matching outputs on these files do not establish broad equivalence or product demand.

Can a revised contract fit a real recurring task and still offer useful value over the existing helper?
