Spotify deprecated /recommendations and /artists/{id}/related-artists.
All three discovery tools now use genre-based search:
- suggest: extracts genres from top artists, searches with mood keywords
- discover_artist: finds artists sharing same genres
- fresh_finds: genre search with known-artist filtering for freshness
