feat: Implement heading-based nesting outlines in Outline window

- Add depth and path fields to Beat struct to track heading hierarchy
- Rewrite beats() parser to use heading stack and process_headings() helper
- Add BeatTree enum with Heading and Beat variants for tree structure
- Add build_beat_tree() to convert flat beats to nested tree
- Add render_beat_tree() for recursive tree rendering with collapsible headers
- Add count_beat_tree() helper to count beats in subtree
- Replace flat list rendering with tree-based rendering in outline_window()

The implementation currently groups beats by section, with infrastructure
in place for full hierarchical nesting based on beat.path.

+# Story Bible
+
+> **Your single source of truth for all story world information.**

+

+
+## How to Use the Story Bible
+
+### 1. Adding a New Character
+
+1. **Copy the template:**
+   ```bash
+   cp 01-Characters/main_characters/01_character_template.md 01-Characters/main_characters/03_new_character.md
+   ```
+
+2. **Fill in the YAML frontmatter first:**
+   ```yaml
+   ---
+   id: unique_id
+   name: Character Name
+   slug: character-name
+   type: protagonist|antagonist|ally|enemy|mentor
+   status: active|draft|deceased|retired
+   tags: [tag1, tag2]
+   appearances: [chapter_1, chapter_5]
+   related_characters: [character_a, character_b]
+   ---
+   ```
+
+3. **Complete the character sheet** with all known information
+
+4. **Add to index files:**
+   - Update `01-Characters/_index.md`
+   - Update `01-Characters/character_grid.md`
+
+5. **Create cross-links** from other relevant entries
+
+### 2. Adding a New Location
+
+1. **Choose the type:** Region, City, or Building
+2. **Copy the appropriate template**
+3. **Fill in details** including relationships to characters
+4. **Add to Locations index**
+5. **Link from character files** that use this location
+
+### 3. Adding Lore
+
+- **Historical Events:** Copy template from `03-Lore/history/`
+- **Factions:** Copy template from `03-Lore/factions/`
+- **World Rules:** Edit `03-Lore/rules.md`
+
+### 4. Maintaining Consistency
+
+- **After each writing session:** Update relevant Bible entries
+- **Before finalizing a chapter:** Run through `CONSISTENCY.md` checklist
+- **Weekly review:** Spend 15 minutes updating and verifying entries
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+### YAML Frontmatter
+Every entry starts with YAML metadata for easy filtering and searching:
+
+```yaml
+---
+id: unique_identifier
+name: Display Name
+slug: url-friendly-name
+type: category
+tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
+related_entities: [entity_a, entity_b]
+status: active|draft|archived
+created: "2024-01-01"
+updated: "2024-01-01"
+---
+```
+
+### Wiki-Links
+Use `[[Link Text|file-name]]` or `[[file-name]]` to create cross-references:
+
+```markdown
+- **Current Owner:** [[John Doe]]
+- **Location:** [[Castle Black]]
+- **Related Event:** [[The War of Ashes|history/war_of_ashes]]
+```
+
+### Mermaid Diagrams
+Create visual relationship maps and timelines:
+
+````markdown
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    A[John] -->|Brother| B[James]
+    A -->|Mentor| C[Robert]
+```
+````
+
+### Tables
+Use tables for structured data:
+
+```markdown
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Age | 30 |
+| Gender | Male |
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Start Simple
+- Begin with basic information
+- Add details as they become relevant
+- Don't over-document early drafts
+
+### 2. Stay Current
+- Update entries immediately after writing scenes
+- Don't let the Bible fall behind
+- Small updates are easier than big ones
+
+### 3. Use Cross-Links
+- Link characters to locations
+- Link locations to events
+- Link events to lore
+- This creates a web of knowledge
+
+### 4. Tag Everything
+- Use consistent tags
+- Filter by tags when searching
+- Examples: `#protagonist`, `#capital`, `#magic`, `#war`
+
+### 5. Review Regularly
+- Weekly: Quick scan for obvious issues
+- Monthly: Deep consistency check
+- Before publishing: Full verification
+
+---
+
+## Search Tips
+
+Use your editor's search feature:
+
+| Search Term | Finds |
+|-------------|-------|
+| `[[` | All cross-references |
+| `id:` | All YAML IDs |
+| `status:` | All status fields |
+| `tags:` | All tag lists |
+| `#tagname` | All entries with that tag |
+
+---
+
+## Tag Reference
+
+### Character Tags
+`#protagonist` `#antagonist` `#ally` `#enemy` `#mentor` `#romantic` `#family` `#deceased` `#noble` `#commoner` `#warrior` `#mage` `#thief`
+
+### Location Tags
+`#capital` `#city` `#village` `#fortress` `#tavern` `#temple` `#ruins` `#wilderness` `#underground` `#floating` `#magical`
+
+### Lore Tags
+`#magic` `#technology` `#war` `#religion` `#politics` `#history` `#myth` `#legend` `#prophecy` `#culture`
+
+### Object Tags
+`#legendary` `#cursed` `#blessed` `#sentient` `#destroyed` `#lost` `#stolen` `#royal` `#sacred` `#ancient`
+
+---
+
+## Tools Integration
+
+If your editor supports it:
+
+- **Obsidian:** Native backlink support, graph view, tag search
+- **VS Code:** Extensions for markdown preview and search
+- **Typora:** Clean preview with YAML support
+- **Any editor:** Basic search and replace works everywhere
+
+---
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+1. **Write Chapter 5** where John visits Castle Black
+2. **Update John's entry:** Add Castle Black to `related_locations`
+3. **Update Castle Black entry:** Add John to `residents` or `visitors`
+4. **Update Timeline:** Add "John visits Castle Black" event
+5. **Check Consistency:** Verify travel time and castle description match
+6. **Cross-link:** Ensure both entries link to each other
+
+---
+
+## Need Help?
+
+- Check `_index.md` files for navigation
+- Use `CONSISTENCY.md` for verification
+- Look at existing entries for examples
+- Refer to templates for required fields
+
+---
+
+**Remember:** The Story Bible is a living document. Update it as you write, and it will save you hours of continuity fixing later.

+# Scene Management Scripts
+
+Automate the creation and linking of planning and draft files.
+
+---
+
+## Scripts Available
+
+### `create_scene.py`
+
+Creates linked planning and draft files for new scenes.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Create a New Scene Pair
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to your project root
+cd /path/to/your/project
+
+# Create a new scene (act 1, chapter 1, scene 2)
+python scripts/create_scene.py --act 1 --chapter 1 --scene 2 --title "Chapter Two: The Journey"
+```
+
+This creates:
+- `05-Plot/act_1/scene_02.md` (planning template)
+- `06-First Draft/Act 1/scene02.md` (draft file)
+- Both files are automatically linked to each other
+
+### 2. Create Draft from Existing Planning
+
+```bash
+# If you have an existing planning file but no draft
+python scripts/create_scene.py --from-planning 05-Plot/act_1/scene_01.md
+```
+
+This creates the corresponding draft file and links it.
+
+### 3. Create Planning from Existing Draft
+
+```bash
+# If you have an existing draft file but no planning
+python scripts/create_scene.py --from-draft "06-First Draft/Act 1/scene01.md"
+```
+
+This creates the corresponding planning file and links it.
+
+---
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Minimal (auto-generates title)
+```bash
+python scripts/create_scene.py --scene 3
+```
+Creates scene 3 in act 1, chapter 1 with title "Chapter 1: Scene 3"
+
+### Full specification
+```bash
+python scripts/create_scene.py \
+    --act 2 \
+    --chapter 3 \
+    --scene 5 \
+    --title "Chapter Three: The Revelation" \
+    --type chapter
+```
+
+### Batch create multiple scenes
+```bash
+for scene in {2..10}; do
+    python scripts/create_scene.py --chapter 1 --scene $scene
+Done
+```
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+### Planning Files (`05-Plot/`)
+```
+05-Plot/
+├── _template.md              # Template for new planning files
+├── act_1/
+│   ├── scene_01.md           # Planning for act 1, scene 1
+│   ├── scene_02.md           # Planning for act 1, scene 2
+│   └── ...
+├── act_2/
+│   ├── scene_01.md
+│   └── ...
+└── act_3/
+    └── ...
+```
+
+Each planning file contains:
+- YAML frontmatter with metadata (act, chapter, scene, word count targets, etc.)
+- `draft_file` field pointing to the corresponding draft file
+- Scene planning sections (setup, reveal, notes)
+
+### Draft Files (`06-First Draft/`)
+```
+06-First Draft/
+├── _template.md              # Template for new draft files
+├── Act 1/
+│   ├── scene01.md           # Draft for act 1, scene 1
+│   ├── scene02.md           # Draft for act 1, scene 2
+│   └── ...
+├── Act 2/
+│   ├── scene01.md
+│   └── ...
+└── Act 3/
+    └── ...
+```
+
+Each draft file contains:
+- YAML frontmatter with metadata
+- `planning_template` field pointing to the corresponding planning file
+- Word count tracking (current, session, target from planning)
+- Actual scene content
+
+---
+
+## Linking System
+
+The two files are linked via relative paths in their frontmatter:
+
+**Planning file (`05-Plot/act_1/scene_01.md`):**
+```yaml
+---
+draft_file: "../../06-First Draft/Act 1/scene01.md"
+---
+```
+
+**Draft file (`06-First Draft/Act 1/scene01.md`):**
+```yaml
+---
+planning_template: "../../05-Plot/act_1/scene_01.md"
+---
+```
+
+This bidirectional linking allows:
+- Navigating from planning to draft and vice versa
+- Sharing metadata between files
+- Tracking progress across both
+
+---
+

+
+---
+
+## Integration with Your Workflow
+
+### With Drag-and-Drop Reordering
+
+If your editor supports drag-and-drop chapter reordering, the `order` field in the frontmatter is available for sorting. Update this field when reordering scenes.
+
+### With File Watchers
+
+To automatically create corresponding files when a new file is created:
+
+1. **Option A: Use the script manually** (recommended)
+   ```bash
+   # After creating a planning file manually, run:
+   python scripts/create_scene.py --from-planning 05-Plot/act_1/scene_05.md
+   ```
+
+2. **Option B: Set up a file watcher**
+   Create a watcher script that triggers `create_scene.py` when new files are detected.
+
+3. **Option C: Editor integration**
+   If your editor supports custom commands, add a command that calls:
+   ```bash
+   python scripts/create_scene.py --from-draft "${file}"
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Tips
+
+1. **Naming Convention**
+   - Planning: `scene_{number:02d}.md` (e.g., `scene_01.md`, `scene_02.md`)
+   - Draft: `scene{number:02d}.md` (e.g., `scene01.md`, `scene02.md`)
+   - Note the slight difference (underscore vs. no underscore)
+
+2. **Folder Structure**
+   - Planning: `05-Plot/act_{N}/`
+   - Draft: `06-First Draft/Act N/`
+   - Note the difference in folder naming (act_1 vs. Act 1)
+
+3. **ID Generation**
+   - Planning IDs: `scene_{act:02d}_{chapter:02d}_{scene:02d}`
+   - Draft IDs: `draft_scene_{act:02d}_{chapter:02d}_{scene:02d}`
+
+4. **Word Count Targets**
+   - Set in planning file
+   - Displayed in draft file
+   - Not automatically synced (manual update or via script)
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Module not found: yaml"
+```bash
+pip install pyyaml
+```
+
+### File paths not working
+- Ensure you're running the script from the project root
+- Check that the `scripts/` directory is in your project
+- Verify relative paths are correct for your folder structure
+
+### Frontmatter not parsing
+- Ensure your files start with `---` on the first line
+- Ensure there's a closing `---` after the frontmatter
+- YAML is sensitive to indentation (use spaces, not tabs)
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Metadata
+
+Add any additional fields to the frontmatter:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/create_scene.py --scene 1 --custom_field "value"
+```
+
+### Bulk Operations
+
+Create multiple scenes at once:
+
+```bash
+# Create scenes 1-10 for chapter 1
+for i in {1..10}; do
+    python scripts/create_scene.py --chapter 1 --scene $i
+done
+```
+
+### Sync Existing Files
+
+If you have existing files without links, you can manually add the frontmatter:
+
+**Planning file:**
+```yaml
+---
+draft_file: "../../06-First Draft/Act 1/scene01.md"
+---
+```
+
+**Draft file:**
+```yaml
+---
+planning_template: "../../05-Plot/act_1/scene_01.md"
+---
+```
+
