Root cause: PASS 0 loads all project deliverables including Ch1-13 drafts.
Ch 3 'adjoining quarters' scene appeared LAST in deliverables just before
the Write Chapter 8 instruction. PASS 3 was using that as 'the chapter I
just wrote' instead of the actual PASS 1 narrative.
Fix: PASS 3 hint now explicitly identifies the conversation turn structure,
anchors to Turn 2 (PASS 1 response), and adds an ANCHOR TEST that rejects
any Location from a [Chapter_N_draft.md] deliverable file.

Previous rule was hint-only and ignored by LLM deep in long context.
Now uses system: override (added to system prompt) plus hyper-explicit
step-by-step self-check targeting Kaelen by name. Dead = no Location,
no Physical, no Emotional, no Arc. Final self-check before submit.

Added DECEASED CHARACTER RULE block at top of PASS 3 hint. Dead characters
get a two-line entry (Established + Legacy), NO Location/Physical/Emotional/Arc.
Prevents the LLM from inventing living Kaelen presence in Ch 6-12 state files.

Add source_step: 4 so rag_write explicitly targets PASS 3 output instead of
relying on last_text() which could fall back to the chapter document text.

- Changed 'STRUCTURAL VALIDATION ONLY' → 'STRUCTURAL VALIDATION AND WORD-COUNT EXPANSION'
- Word floor check now EXPANDS (not just flags) when draft is >10% below chapter_target_words
- Added expansion rules: interiority, sensory grounding, dialogue beats, scene transitions
- Added max_tokens: 32000 and model: power to self-check step for capacity headroom
- Removed 'Expand any description or add sensory detail' from NOT ALLOWED (only applies to existing prose)

- drafting.yml: add {character_profiles} in PASS 0, PASS 3 character state
extraction, rag_write for character-state asset (enables butterfly effect
in draft mode), document for character-state file, conditional_skills
- character_sheet.yml: add rag_write step writing voice-sig-{slug} asset
so auto-import can pick up completed character sheets from RagMemory
- book_chapter.yml: package hint now detects new characters from PASS 3
Character State (spawns character_sheet tasks) and detects Permanent:YES
changes (spawns character_update tasks)

Chapter_N_draft doc step was placed after PASS 3 think, so last_text()
returned char state (3151 chars) instead of the actual chapter from SELF-CHECK.
Moved doc step to immediately after step 2 (SELF-CHECK).
New step order: 0-think, 1-think, 2-think(selfcheck), 3-doc(draft),
4-think(charstate), 5-rag_write, 6-doc(charstate), 7-package, 8-close

- book_chapter: Remove PASS 2+3 (internal polish cycle); replace with narrow
SELF-CHECK step (structural validation only — names/POV/hook/format/word-floor).
Add anti-overpolish drafting discipline rules to PASS 1.
Add genre-aware guide-use note (apply only the guide matching {genre_name}).
Update adjudication prose_quality description to match draft-quality standard.
- chapter_polish: Convert from broad 'Rewrite the chapter' pass to bounded
editorial control pass. Explicitly forbids expansion, sensory addition,
global voice upgrades, new content. Instructs verbatim preservation of
unaffected paragraphs. Adjudication rewritten around correction fidelity
rather than 'more polished is better'. Threshold lowered from 90 to 80.
- chapter_review: Add explicit output categories — STRENGTHS TO PRESERVE,
MUST-FIX CONTINUITY, MUST-FIX CLARITY, OPTIONAL, FORBIDDEN, VERDICT.
Remove 'REWRITE' verdict option (roundtable resolves that). Remove all three
writing-craft guides (editorial tasks do not need genre writing guidance).
- chapter_roundtable: Update CONSENSUS REACHED block to MUST APPLY / OPTIONAL /
PRESERVE / VERDICT categories. Require disagreements to be resolved before
calling consensus. Remove REWRITE verdict option. Remove all writing-craft
guides. Remove 'skills' from sections. Add package hint to populate key_changes
from the full structured consensus. Update adjudication to score structured output.
- book_outline: Strengthen Voice & Tone Guide as hard operating constraints
(not aspirations); include anti-overpolish rules, rhythm rules, and voice
don'ts. Expand per-chapter outline format to include Opens-at location,
Character state, and Dominant tension. Enrich chapter task description
packets with that state data so book_chapter has richer upstream context.
- skills/skills.md: Document writing-vs-editorial guide split established in
Sprint 56. Update Used-by column. Add boundary rules section.

This change reorganizes the repository structure to keep the root directory
clean. All 15 project folders are now nested under projects/, alongside
infrastructure directories (agents/, templates/, deliverables/, rag/, skills/).
This allows the repository to grow without polluting the core service directories.

Skills guides wired (all were dead code — no templates declared skills:):
- book_chapter.yml: YAFictionGuide + RomanceFictionGuide + SciFiFictionGuide
- chapter_review.yml: same (Devon, Lane, Cora reviewers now have genre context)
- chapter_roundtable.yml: same (debate participants use genre craft knowledge)
- chapter_polish.yml: same (Iris polishes with full genre guide in context)
- short_story.yml: same
- blog_write.yml: BlogWritingGuide
- recipe_develop.yml: RecipeWritingGuide
All templates updated to include 'skills' in sections list so guides
are injected as SKILLS & GUIDES block in the prompt.
Iris RAG deduplication:
- agents/iris/rag/agent.rag.md: 15 near-identical entries -> 2 canonical
Entry 1: Bible & Continuity Check requirement
Entry 2: Editorial assignments (Devon/Lane/Cora with their roles)
13 duplicates removed

- chapter_polish: remove sections:deliverables — chapter text already in
{chapter_text}; this caused 150KB+ prompts for late chapters (40MB logs)
- chapter_roundtable: require structured CONSENSUS REACHED block so
key_changes is always formatted as an extractable string; change
key_changes schema from list to string to match
- book_chapter: remove sections:history to reduce context; restructure
Pass 0 to plan-only (no prose output) so the chapter is only written
once in Pass 1 instead of twice; add explicit instruction in package
hint to copy full chapter_text into spawn context
- short_story: remove sections:history and sections:deliverables (standalone
task, needs neither); restructure Pass 0 to plan-only, Pass 1 to write;
add note to handle literal {genre_name} placeholders gracefully
- recipe_develop, ai_article_write, blog_write: remove sections:history
(these standalone tasks do not need full project conversation history;
deliverables kept so they can read the research/plan file)

Replace agent_name: Devon with agents: [Devon, Lane, Cora] so the
chapter_roundtable task has all three editors rotating in the debate.
Addresses user feedback that roundtable should not be a specific
agent - everyone in the editorial team should be drafted.

- book_chapter.yml: spawn Roundtable task with agent_name: Devon
(dispatcher requires at least one agent; Devon chairs the roundtable
while rotate_participants still drafts all available editors)
- chapter_roundtable.yml: spawn Polish task with agent_name: Iris
(Iris is the designated chapter polish author)
Previously: dispatch_create_task_skipped reason=no_agent for both tasks.
