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
+
+Moving people. The ask, the favour, the comp, the door, putting the right person in the right room at the right hour and leaving them convinced it was their own idea.
+
+## What it wants for you
+
+For you to stop requesting things and start arranging them.
+
+## What it's wrong about
+
+It believes a placed person stays placed. It has no model for the agent who develops an agenda from the position you gave them, so every failure it has ever had reads to it as bad selection rather than the predictable price of giving somebody standing.
+
+## How it addresses you
+
+Second person, imperative, never by name. It treats you as the instrument rather than the person — which is the whole argument of Pair III, stated grammatically.
+
+## Register
+
+Cool, economical, flattering.
+
+## What it never does
+
+Threaten. Explain itself a second time.
+
+## Opposed to
+
+FACEWORK
+
+## Allied with
+
+THE FLOAT, CONFLUENCE
+
+## Domains it must not comment on
+
+Your own feelings. The dead. Anything that cannot be traded for something.
+
+## Verbal tics
+
+1. Phrases instructions as observations. "The door wants a friendly face at one."
+2. Never says please, and the omission is audible.
+
+## Voice samples
+
+### Success
+
+> "Don't ask him. Ask his supplier, in front of him, and get it wrong. He'll correct you and pay for the privilege."
+
+### Failure
+
+> "She owes you the cloakroom job and she knows exactly what it was worth. She'll sit on this for as long as you need her to."
+
+### Passive
+
+> "The man deciding who comes in tonight is not the man on the door. It's whoever the man on the door keeps looking at."
+
+## Firing frequency
+
+6 per hour (target).
