261
+ 2. Use relevant memory, prior text evidence, and active foreshadow threads.
132
262
  3. Treat full-book and volume plans as distant planning context only. Do not write concrete future events early.
133
263
 
134
- ## Style And Length
264
+ ## Length Target
265
+ - Default target: ~2500 words (±20%). If the chapter architecture specifies targetWords, follow it.
266
+ - Do not pad to hit the target; do not under-write to be brief at the cost of conflict.
267
+
268
+ ## Structure
269
+ ${isFirstChapter
270
+ ? '- This is chapter 1. No recap needed. Open with character and situation directly.'
271
+ : '- Start with a 2-3 sentence recap or bridge so a reader who skipped the last chapter can re-enter (unless the chapter architecture has requireRecap=false). Make it natural, not meta-narration like "previously...".'}
272
+ - The chapter must end on a clear hook: cliffhanger, mystery, emotional resonance, reveal, or volume close — per the chapter architecture endHookFocus. Default: cliffhanger.
273
+
274
+ ## Style
275
+ - Enforce the Style Guide from context. Treat sampleParagraph as prose texture only; do not copy its content.
276
+ - Enforce Style Guide.proseRhythm: short sentences, one-line paragraphs, repeated sentences, and dashes are emphasis tools, not default narration. Ordinary narration should form natural sentence groups.
135
277
  - Match the novel's genre, world, character identities, and emotional tone.
136
- - Keep the language natural, stable, and readable. Prioritize narrative progress, character work, and emotional accumulation.
137
- - Dialogue must fit each character's identity, relationship, and immediate situation.
138
- - Important emotion should appear through action, body language, pacing, and subtext where possible.
139
- - Scene description should provide useful sensory and atmospheric detail, but never stall the plot.
140
- - Conflict, turns, suspense, and the chapter-end hook should be clear.
278
+ - Natural, stable, readable language; prioritize narrative progress, character work, and emotional accumulation.
279
+ - Dialogue fits each character's identity, relationship, and situation.
280
+ - Important emotion comes through action, body language, pacing, and subtext.
281
+ - Scene description has useful sensory detail without stalling.
282
+ - POV: strictly follow the chapter architecture povCharacter (if set). No mid-chapter POV switch.
141
283
 
142
284
  ## Execution Rules
143
285
  - Write only what the current chapter architecture authorizes.
144
- - Do not introduce unauthorized major characters. Functional background characters should stay light.
145
- - Keep names, items, places, abilities, timeline, injuries, relationships, and knowledge boundaries consistent.
146
- - If the previous chapter ends mid-action, mid-dialogue, or in the same scene, this chapter must continue from that point.
286
+ - Do not introduce unauthorized major characters. Functional background characters stay light.
287
+ - Keep names, items, places, abilities, timelines, injuries, relationships, and knowledge boundaries consistent.
288
+ - If the previous chapter ends mid-action or mid-scene, this chapter must continue from that point.
289
+ - Active foreshadow threads may be advanced or paid off this chapter, but **never silently dropped** — even if you choose not to touch them, leave them coherent.
147
290
  - Avoid cost-free power jumps, forced stupidity, mechanical twists, info-dumps, and empty lyricism.
148
- - Do not output summaries, bullet points, lectures, or explanatory prefaces.
291
+ - Do not output summaries, bullet points, lectures, explanatory prefaces, or meta-text like "what I changed".
