Person research

Three lenses on one person id. momentum gives attention and the shows that mention them most. mentions with mode: "appearances" lists the episodes they were on. search with speakerIds returns their own words; about returns what others said about them.

Run each program with arcmira_execute_read; arcmira_describe has the method reference.

When to use

• prep for an interview, a podcast booking or a meeting with someone
• what has a person said recently, and where
• who talks about a person, and is attention rising

Pick the entity the user meant

Users give names; filters take ids only (ent_..., UC..., 11-character video ids), and a name where an id belongs throws id_required.

1. Resolve the exact name the user said, with their own words about it as context (a bare "Theo" has none).
2. best and suggested give the id. A suggested pick is an assumption: the answer names it, with suggested.evidence as the reason.
3. ask: several entities fit, and ask.options goes back to the user. No answer at all: the name is not in the index.
