Overview
Threads are specific unresolved story concerns. In the Scene Inspector, a thread event records how this scene affects that concern. On the Timeline, those events become lane markers.
Use importance to show how central a thread is. Use lifecycle events to show whether the scene starts, progresses, reveals, twists, branches, splits, merges, resolves or abandons the thread.
Why It Matters
Thread events prevent story promises from becoming invisible. If a clue is planted, mark it. If the reader receives a reveal, mark it. If a subplot is intentionally abandoned, mark that too so thread health knows the silence is deliberate.
