Phase 4: Editing
Sequential 5-stage pipeline. Context accumulates across stages.
| Stage | Focus | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Assessment | Macro: proportions, pacing, gaps, redundancies | edits/01-assessment.md |
| 2. Developmental | Chapter-level restructuring, argument strength | edits/02-developmental.md |
| 3. Line Edit | Paragraph-level, STYLE.md consistency | edits/03-line-edit.md |
| 4. Copy Edit | Spelling, terminology, numbers, code formatting | edits/04-copy-edit.md |
| 5. Proofread | Typos, spacing, markdown, references | edits/05-proofread.md |
Severity: Critical/Major → user approval required. Minor → auto-fix (spelling, markdown, terminology, headings).
Auto-fix scope: spelling/spacing, format normalization, terminology per STYLE.md, heading consistency.
Gate: all 5 stages done, <5 Critical/Major remaining, report generated, user approved Critical/Major.
