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.

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.

Two features that arrived together, since the second depends on the first
to show what it generates.
Nested folders
--------------
`App::files` now holds workspace-relative paths (`part-1/ch-03.md`) rather
than bare names, and the workspace scan recurses eight levels, skipping
dot-directories, `target/` and `node_modules/`. `order::tree_order`
normalises the flat order so every folder's files are contiguous and each
folder sits where its earliest-ordered file put it — which is what keeps
the panel and the export in agreement: the export concatenates the tree
read top to bottom.
The panel draws a collapsible tree. Dragging within a folder reorders as
before; dropping onto a folder header, or among another folder's files,
moves the file on disk and carries its title override, session word
baseline and cached header info with it. Emptied folders are pruned. New
files take a path (`part-1/ch-01`) to create folders, and the Rename box
now holds the whole relative path, so editing its folder part moves the
file.
File ▸ New project
------------------
Scaffolds a project from a cookiecutter template and opens its drafting
subfolder (`06-First Draft`) as the workspace. `cookiecutter.rs` resolves
the executable from PATH and the usual per-user Python prefixes — a
desktop launcher inherits neither a conda PATH nor the tools a template's
hooks shell out to, so the resolved binary's directory is prepended for
the child — builds the non-interactive command line, and identifies the
result by diffing the output directory, which works whatever a template
names its root.
Generation runs off the UI thread because hooks can reach the network.
Settings ▸ New project… covers the template path, the subfolder to open,
the cookiecutter path, a hooks toggle, and the Gitea credentials passed
to hooks as GITEA_URL / GITEA_USER / GITEA_TOKEN.
