_template.md is a reference writers copy from by hand, not something
the app reads programmatically, so an accidental edit to it is easy
to make and easy to miss. The editor now shows it read-only with a
lock banner; an "Unlock" button allows editing for the rest of the
session, resetting back to locked the next time a file is selected.

Five productivity features: search/replace across the whole workspace
(with a safety commit before Replace all), a Synopsis window compiling
every chapter's slug, a Diff button per Auto-Snapshot to compare against
an older snapshot instead of only HEAD, typewriter-style cursor centering
and paragraph dimming gated on Distraction-free mode, and a per-day
word-count streak persisted to word_log.json alongside order.json/titles.json.

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.

The app already treats `<!-- ... -->` as editorial notes: preprocess
strips them from the export and the word count. Ctrl+/ makes that a
one-key move, so a paragraph can be shelved without being deleted.
It grows the selection out to line boundaries first, and only toggles a
block back off when every non-blank line in it is already commented.
Blank lines are passed through so paragraph breaks survive the round
trip, and pressing it on an empty line opens `<!-- -->` with the caret
inside.

Five changes to the export and the window chrome:
* Manuscript details gains a contact field and a "Begin exports with a
title page" option: the title, the author beneath it, and the contact
details beneath that, laid out line for line as typed. A chapters +
master export puts the title page on the master, not on each chapter.
* "Standard manuscript format" lays an export out the way an agent or an
editor expects a submission: 12pt Courier, double-spaced, half-inch
first-line indents, a Surname / Title / page header on every page but
the title page, chapters opening a third of the way down, and `---`
rendered as the conventional centred `#` scene break. The title page
becomes the submission kind, with contact top-left and an approximate
word count top-right. Off by default; margins were already the
standard 1in on US Letter and are unchanged either way.
* A folder button beside Export ODT opens the project folder in the file
manager -- the enclosing git work tree, including one still awaiting
confirmation, since showing a folder is a smaller question than
choosing which repository to commit to.
* The toolbar and the file list each collapse, from the pair of buttons
at the right of the menu bar or from the View menu, and Ctrl+D folds
both away together for distraction-free writing. Both choices persist.
* The editor sizes to its viewport instead of a fixed 30 rows, so the
height a folded panel gives back reaches the page rather than leaving
grey space below the text box that did not even take focus.
Two traps worth recording. ODF's style:master-page-name is inherited,
and any paragraph style carrying one forces a page break before every
paragraph that uses it -- a four-line contact block came out as four
pages until Contact_20_Line stopped inheriting from Contact_20_Block;
a test now pins which styles may carry one. And the status bar shares
a function with the toolbar, so guarding that function's top rather
than the top panel alone silently took the word counts away with it.

Not every flag deserves a fix, so give the checkers a way to be told no:
- ✖ beside an issue in the panel, and a matching entry in the editor's
right-click menu, wave that issue away.
- A dismissal is remembered as the offending text paired with the message
rather than a byte range, since offsets move as soon as you type. Both
checkers filter their fresh results against it, so a dismissed complaint
stays gone across re-checks and repeats of the same phrase in the file.
- The panel header counts the dismissals and ↩ takes them back. The offline
spell check then rebuilds its own list; LanguageTool's can only come from
the server, so those are dropped with a nudge towards ✓ Check.
Dismissals belong to the open file and the session — they are cleared when
another file or workspace is opened, and never written to disk. A name or
invented term still belongs in the word list, which persists.

Rounds out project mode, where the workspace is the project root and one
subfolder holds the manuscript proper:
- Characters and Outline windows, backed by new `characters` and `outline`
modules that read the cast from character sheets and measure how much of
the snowflake outline is actually written.
- Edit ▸ Changes… diffs the open file against its last committed version.
- Revision status, per-file and project word counts, an archive action and
hidden folders in the file panel.
- Chapter-file export alongside the ODT master, richer header parsing, and
a project word list for names and invented terms.
- The export path now follows the workspace: opening a project points it at
that project root, keeping a file name you chose yourself and re-deriving
one that merely echoed the folder it sat in.
- Clicking an issue in the grammar/spelling panel takes the editor to it,
selecting the words and centring them; applying a suggestion jumps to the
rewritten text as well.
README covers the new windows and workflows.

src/app.rs had grown to 3,700 lines, ~2,400 of them a single impl App
block. Move it to src/app/mod.rs and spread the behaviour across eleven
child modules grouped by feature: workspace, grammar, spelling, beats,
find, editor, autocomplete, file_list, ui, style and util.
The new modules are children of app rather than siblings, so they still
reach App's private fields without widening its interface; methods and
free helpers that are now used across module boundaries are marked
pub(super). mod.rs keeps the state types, App::new and the eframe::App
update loop.
This is pure code motion - every non-blank line of the original file
reappears exactly once, and the only edits are the pub(super) markers,
the module scaffolding, and rewrapping five signatures that the added
prefix pushed past 100 columns. Largest file is now editor.rs at 520
lines. Tests still 56/56, and cargo clippy --release reports the same
five warnings as before the split.
