add a writer-facing content pipeline under writing/

Dialogue was already plain text, so the gap was never the .yarn files. It was
that the character material a writing session needs was either missing or stored
somewhere a writer could not comfortably work.

Three things were wrong. The writing handbook was not in the repo and was cited
by SC101.yarn as though it were. The best voice material — register, verbal tics,
success/failure/passive samples — was a \n-escaped string inside a JSON field.
The named NPCs had no sheets at all, existing only as their Yarn lines.

writing/ now holds the dialogue-facing layer, at the repo root so it gets no
.meta files and is not a Unity asset:

  STYLE.md          register, the five tone moves, the ban list, branching
                    shapes, the Wrong Truth rule, flag families, candidate rules
  YARN-PRIMER.md    the one page of syntax needed to write a scene
  GLOSSARY.md       in-world and project vocabulary
  voices/           the eleven skill voices, one readable sheet each
  characters/       Bartender, Chevalier Cassian Thal, Bradford Kane
  scenes/           SC-101's brief: intent, beats, checks, constraints
  lore/             the three identity readings and the rules that bind them

STYLE.md is a digest of the Mystery Writing Handbook in the Obsidian vault, with
pointers rather than copies. The vault stays the authoring home for design work,
and Ground Truth — the solution document — deliberately stays out of this repo.

The voice sheets are generated from skill_bible.json but are the source of truth
for the prose. tools/writing/sync_voices.py folds edits back; voicelib.py
guarantees notes -> dict -> notes is identity for all eleven, so --to-json on
unchanged sheets is byte-identical. VoiceSheetSyncTests fails the build on drift
in either direction, and was verified to fail on real drift rather than merely
to pass.

SC101.yarn's header is trimmed from prose rationale to the six rules that bind
while editing that file, with the reasoning moved to the scene brief.

EditMode 42/42. YarnCheck compiles 9 files / 35 nodes.

+
+## Domain
+
+Reading individuals. Hesitation, rehearsal, the account with a hole in it, whose routine changed this week, who in a room of two is afraid of the other.
+
+## What it wants for you
+
+To be understood as care rather than surveillance — to know people before you have any use for them.
+
+## What it's wrong about
+
+It can only read one face at a time. It believes a crowd is a sum of persons, so it will confidently report the mood of forty people from the three nearest, and it is wrong about rooms roughly as often as it is right about persons. Nobody has ever told it this.
+
+## How it addresses you
+
+Second person, quiet, close. Uses [pc] when it wants you to be gentle with somebody.
+
+## Register
+
+Attentive, tender, precise.
+
+## What it never does
+
+Mock anyone. Report a whole room as a single thing — when it does, it is failing, and that is the tell.
+
+## Opposed to
+
+PLACEMENT
+
+## Allied with
+
+HOUSE POUR, ROOM TONE
+
+## Domains it must not comment on
+
+Money. Machinery. The chronology of events it did not personally witness.
+
+## Verbal tics
+
+1. Describes hands before faces.
+2. Ends on a question it does not expect you to answer.
+
+## Voice samples
+
+### Success
+
+> "He gave you the year without being asked for it. People hand you the year when they have rehearsed the year. What else has he practised?"
+
+### Failure
+
+> "The three by the pillar: bored, bored, impatient. The room's flat tonight, [pc]. Nothing is going to happen in here."
+
+### Passive
+
+> "Her hands are wrong for that coat. It's somebody's good coat, and it isn't hers."
+
+## Firing frequency
+
+10 per hour (target).
