Phase 20AH - Chapter Intelligence and Character Import
Phase 20AH completes the first chapter-level import path and begins author-reviewed character import from existing stored Story Intelligence JSON.
Chapter Intelligence Import
When a Story Intelligence scene commit runs, PlotDirector now also updates the target chapter inside the same import transaction.
Imported chapter fields:
- Chapter summary: populated from the Chapter Structure
chapterSummaryresponse. - Chapter purpose: mapped to an existing Chapter Purpose lookup value where the stored Chapter Intelligence response supports a clear match.
The import does not concatenate scene summaries to create a chapter summary.
Chapter Purpose is a chapter-level lookup, separate from Scene Purpose. The default lookup values are:
- Opening
- Character Development
- Relationship Development
- World Building
- Investigation
- Revelation
- Escalation
- Turning Point
- Climax
- Resolution
- Transition
Chapter Purpose is editable on the standard chapter edit screen and visible on the chapter detail page.
Character Import
After scenes have been created, the onboarding review page can show a character review section.
The review is built from stored Scene Intelligence results only. It does not call OpenAI again.
For each candidate, PlotDirector shows:
- Character name
- Number of scenes where the character appears or is mentioned
- Confidence band
- Possible aliases
- First appearance example
- Existing matched character where available
The author can approve, ignore, or rename new characters before import.
When approved:
- Existing characters are linked where names or aliases match.
- New characters are created only for approved candidates.
- Aliases from Scene Intelligence are saved where they do not duplicate the primary name or an existing alias.
- Scene People panels are populated for characters physically present in imported scenes.
- Mentioned-only characters can be created if approved, but they are not added as physically present scene appearances.
- Previously unresolved scene POV links are retried after character creation.
The import does not infer gender or create placeholder characters.
