  "description": "Manual-wiring template: kinetic text whose position follows a deterministic circular path driven by two LFO CHOPs (sine X, sine Y at 0.25 phase = cosine). LFOs lfox/lfoy are created but NOT auto-bound to transform1.tx/ty because RecipeSchema parameters only accept constant `value`s, not expressions. After import: set transform1.tx to expression `op('lfox')['chan1']*<path_radius_x>` and transform1.ty to `op('lfoy')['chan1']*<path_radius_y>`. The exposed `path_speed` only retunes lfox.frequency; manually mirror it on lfoy.frequency (or expose path_speed_y) for synced speed. Placeholder for a future native path-follow extension (Sample CHOP over Curve SOP). Offline-validated against RecipeSchema; UNVERIFIED pending live cook-check in TouchDesigner.",
