Get breakout sounds
Returns sounds accelerating fastest off a small base. Ranked by acceleration = (videos_7d + 1) / (prior_weekly + 1), where prior_weekly is the average videos/week over the prior 4 weeks (days 8–35). Distinct from /sounds/trending: trending favours the largest absolute weekly volume (e.g. a mature sound still gaining 100 videos/week), while breakout favours sounds that jumped from a small baseline to a burst this week (e.g. ~2/week → 40 this week = 20× acceleration). Gated to real breakouts: videos_7d ≥ min_recent, prior 4-week videos in [min_baseline, 200], acceleration ≥ 2. Legacy burst_ratio and breakout_score fields are still returned for backward compatibility.
