Problem
UniDic's per-morpheme accent kernel (aType) is already tokenised and carried on every word as lexical_kernel, but it does not drive accent_marking_type: when no connected-speech contour is available a token degrades to flat pitch (accent_marking_type=0) instead of an approximate dictionary-form contour. Use lexical_kernel to synthesise a per-mora contour (Tokyo-dialect 平板 / 頭高 / 中高・尾高 mapping) as a floor, so degraded output carries an approximate accent rather than nothing.
