NEVER copy a secret from character-state-ch-08 or later -- those are FUTURE events.
|

If a secret in PASS 0 context comes from a deliverable filename like
|

"character-state-ch-08" or "character-state-ch-09", IGNORE it entirely.
|
||||
For each secret that was NOT resolved or revealed in THIS chapter's PASS 1 prose:
|
||||
→ Copy it forward unchanged into the character's "Known secrets:" field.
|

→ Prefix it: "CARRIED (Ch[N]—unresolved): [secret]"

-> Copy it forward unchanged into the character's "Known secrets:" field.

|
||||
→ Established: [one sentence from PASS 1 describing HOW they died]
|

→ Legacy: [one sentence: how their death affects surviving characters this chapter]
|
||||
→ Remove all Living Format fields (Location, Physical, Emotional, obligations, etc.)

|
||||
-> Remove all Living Format fields (Location, Physical, Emotional, obligations, etc.)
|

For characters ALREADY deceased in prior state (BUCKET C, absent from prose):
