Add a summary: field (with a short explanatory comment) to
01_character_template.md, and fill the field in on the two shipped
examples, 01_protagonist.md and 02_antagonist.md. Documented in the
Story Bible README's "Adding a New Character" example and its new
"Automatic Linking in the Draft" section, and in the main README's
Story Bible docs.
While wiring this up against the real bundled template rather than a
hand-written test fixture, found two bugs that were silently defeating
last session's auto-linking feature for every project made from that
template:
- extract_from_frontmatter() only read a title: field for an item's
name, but every bundled Story Bible template — character, location,
lore, object, all of them — writes name:, never title:. Every real
item's display name (and therefore everything matched against it in
prose) was falling back to a garbled, uncapitalized filename guess
instead. Now name: is read (title: still works too, for a sheet that
uses that word instead).
- build_editor_job()'s fast path skipped straight to an unformatted
run whenever there were no grammar/spelling issues and no active
search — without checking whether there was a Story Bible reference
to highlight. A name with no spelling issue of its own (which is
most of them) never got its purple background, and with it no visible
way to find the hover card that depends on it.
Both were invisible in the unit tests added last session because they
exercised find_references() directly against a hand-built index, never
through StoryBibleIndex::build() against real files, and the manual
smoke test happened to use a name ("Bixby") that the spell checker
flagged anyway — which incidentally kept the fast path from short-
circuiting. Added a disk-built-index test and a fast-path regression
test so both stay caught.

Bare proper nouns in prose ("Bixby walked in") now resolve against the
Story Bible automatically, the same as the existing [[wiki-links]] and
@mentions markup — no manual linking required. Matching is case-sensitive
and requires a capitalized, 3+ character match to a sheet's name or alias,
which is what keeps a character named "Hope" or "Will" from lighting up
on every unrelated use of the word; the longest phrase wins an overlap
("Bixby Reynolds" over "Bixby"), and a bare match never overrides the
author's own explicit markup.
Hovering a highlighted mention shows a card with the item's name, type
(Person/Place/Thing) and a summary (from a new summary:/description:
frontmatter field), with a link that opens the entry in the Story Bible
editor. The card appears after a short delay and stays open while the
pointer crosses onto it to reach the link.
Along the way:
- StoryBibleReference now carries absolute byte offsets (start/end) and
the resolved item_id, replacing column/length, which were actually
per-line and were being used as whole-buffer offsets — every reference
past a file's first line highlighted and jumped-to in the wrong place.
find_references() also now walks the buffer one char at a time rather
than one byte, which could previously land mid-character and panic on
any manuscript with accented letters or an em dash.
- build_story_bible_index() had its own, separately hardcoded list of
Story Bible directory names that had drifted from
find_story_bible_directory()'s list and no longer included
03-Story-Bible, the bundled template's actual folder — so the index,
and everything built on it, was silently empty for every project made
from that template. It now reuses the one list.
- Story Bible Editor window: its tree and content ScrollAreas (and the
content TextEdit) had no id_salt, so egui treated them as the same
widget — fixed with explicit salts.

- Add aliases field to StoryBibleItem struct
- Add items_by_alias HashMap to StoryBibleIndex for quick alias lookup
- Add find_by_alias() method and update find_by_partial_name() to search aliases
- Parse aliases from YAML frontmatter (list and comma-separated formats)
- Update find_references() to match aliases in addition to IDs and names
- Fix @mention pattern matching to properly stop at spaces
- Add comprehensive tests for aliases functionality
- Update README.md with aliases documentation and usage examples
This allows Story Bible entries to have alternative names that can be
referenced in draft text using wiki-style [[...]] or mention-style @ syntax.
