+-- M4b: ListenBrainz similarity ingest. Two symmetric tables — tracks and
+-- artists — both keyed by (a_id, b_id, source) so the schema reserves room
+-- for additional similarity sources (musicbrainz_tag, user_cooccurrence)
+-- alongside listenbrainz. M4b only writes 'listenbrainz' rows.
+--
+-- The (a_id, score DESC) index satisfies M4c's hot path: "for seed S, give
+-- me top-N similar tracks/artists descending by score."
