## Music genre test publication

Published the first policy-compliant test genre record at [Sumerian hymnody](mark://music/genres/sumerian-hymnody.md). It uses EDTF `-2XXX` for third-millennium BCE precision and remains `status:imported` pending library review.

## Music genre body cleanup

Revised [Sumerian hymnody](mark://music/genres/sumerian-hymnody.md) to version 2 under the updated music policies. Operational identity and import fields now live only in metadata; the visible body contains genre information and sources.

## Chronological genre catalog

Published [Ershemma](mark://music/genres/ershemma.md) after user approval, continuing the catalog by documented attestation. Its metadata keeps attestation separate from inception because a dated surviving tablet does not establish invention. Operational details remain separate from the readable genre body.
