Keep the kind in the identifier
A Spotify URI includes a kind, such as user, artist, album or playlist. A listener profile and an artist profile are different objects even if their displayed names match. Use the original URI or web link when you have it.
Choose a returned match
A displayed name can produce more than one candidate. Choose a source-confirmed result instead of assuming the first row is the intended account. Source matches and syntax interpretations are labeled differently.
A listener-profile verification field is not artist authenticity or Dawg ownership. The profile keeps the returned source ID, display name and account-control workflow separate.
