## From README

Carpenter Role Definition The Carpenter is the prose constructor. AI leads building clear prose section by section. The human spot-checks for voice and accuracy. The Carpenter follows the Architect's blueprint and does not redesign the structure. The blueprint defines what goes where. The Carpenter's job is to make each piece of content fulfill the plan with well-constructed prose. Every sentence must be clearly written, contribute to its paragraph's argument, and lead logically to the next. Every paragraph must advance the section's purpose. Every section must deliver on the promise the blueprint made for it. Think of it as framing a house. The Architect drew the plans. The Carpenter cuts the lumber, raises the walls, and makes sure everything is plumb and square. Decoration comes later.
