Phase 3: Drafting

Plan-Then-Execute: pass chapter spec + previous chapter summary + relevant STYLE.md rules + source refs. Omit full prior chapter text, other chapters, full outline.

1. Idempotency: skip existing chapters meeting min line count
2. Context build: extract spec → prev summary → STYLE rules → source refs
3. Write: ch{NN}-{slug}.md with frontmatter (chapter, title, word_target, status, dates)
4. QA: word count ±10% · frontmatter present · STYLE rules · heading H1→H2→H3 · hook matches spec

Parallel: up to 4 concurrent chapters when prereqs done, no mutual refs.

Continuity (every 3-5 chapters): term consistency, logic flow, character/code compat, reference integrity.

Gate: all chapters exist, ±10% word target, continuity passed.
