Settles the per-song pattern annotation step: the pattern vocabulary comes from the three gendered synthesis archives (the male-group, female-group, and mixed-group runs of step 5-03-synthesize), and the same annotation definition file is run three times independently over every song to select which patterns apply. This command extracts the pattern table from the synthesis archives, tallies the three annotation runs' votes, and writes the two final tables the paper cites: the pattern table (the "patterns" CSV argument) and the per-song annotation table (the "annotations" CSV argument). Each synthesis archive's ``output.jsonl`` holds a single record whose "text" field is a Markdown document, one section per pattern, each section starting with a heading line. The pattern name is the heading text with its leading numbering token (for example ``模式一:`` or ``一、``) stripped; the pattern description is the section's non-empty lines that are not example quotes (a line starting with ``- ``), joined with a single space. The male synthesis yields the pattern IDs ``M1``, ``M2``, ...; the female synthesis ``F1``, ``F2``, ...; the mixed synthesis ``X1``, ``X2``, ..., every set numbered in the section order of its own document. Each annotation run's ``output.jsonl`` holds one record per song, the ID ``song-`` and the "text" field a JSON array of the pattern IDs the song was annotated with. The records of every given run directory are pooled. A record whose "text" field is missing, or does not parse to a JSON array of strings, is skipped, a warning naming the run directory and song reported on standard error; this lets a rescue archive of replacement ballots be passed as an additional run directory when a run archive holds a dead record. Every song must appear exactly three times in the pool once such records are skipped. A pattern ID that is not one of the extracted IDs, or whose gendered prefix does not apply to the song's stored performer gender (male songs take ``M``/``X``, female songs take ``F``/``X``, every other song takes all three), is dropped from its ballot, as is a duplicate within the one ballot; every drop is reported on standard error. A (song, pattern) pair is settled when at least two of the three cleaned ballots carry it, so three votes never tie. The song's title and stored artist credit are looked up in the given SQLite working store by the numeric song ID, so this command runs after ``build-db``. Nothing is written when a synthesis section yields an empty name or description, a run record is malformed, a song does not appear exactly three times in the pool, or a settled song is not in the working store; the error message names what failed.
