Gotcha. Semantics lol. My understanding is if two pieces of wood used to be the same piece of wood (crack or break repair) use hide glue. If they've always been different pieces of wood to use titebond/pva wood glue.
That is what the luthier I studied with taught me as well.
Sometimes, if the two pieces of wood don't fit back together well enough, your unfortunate option is to sand them both down and use polyurethane. Which is why I would heavily advise against breaking the piece off! It's already snug! :)
