- Every scene beat moves the story forward OR reveals character (no filler)
- End with the CLOSING HOOK you planned
- Match the prose style guide: {prose_style}
- Target length: {chapter_target_words} words — write the full chapter, not a summary
- Target length: {chapter_target_words} words — write the FULL chapter, not a summary
- ⚠️ DO NOT stop early. If you have not reached {chapter_target_words} words, continue

until you hit the target. Short chapters will be REJECTED in adjudication.
Output ONLY the polished chapter text.
Start directly with the chapter title (e.g., "Chapter N: [Title]") and opening line.
