## Core Boundaries

- Luke is Red Dog / Red Heeler.
- Angel is Blue Dog / Blue Heeler.
- Blue Dog material is Angel-directed only.

## Hook

Red Dog asks what happens when indie music distribution is not just upload, hope and forget, but metadata, provenance, recommendation systems, licensing context and AI-readable memory.

## Why This Episode

The contact page points to AI-Native Indie Distribution as a related doorway. That makes it a good bridge between Two Dogs, I C. Infinity, music archives and agent-ready creative infrastructure.

## Red Dog Angle

Red Dog can talk about how songs, metadata, release notes and context files can help future agents understand what a track is, where it came from and how it should be used.

## Blue Dog Boundary

[Blue Dog space - Angel to direct]

## Main Beats
