How could an agent break one episode from a season arc into lettered stories, a blended beat board and act-outs, using documented room practice, and how would it be checked?
Workflow assembled from S2 and S3 (steps 1, 3-8 documented practice by two writers; the agent mapping and checks are synthesis/proposals). Steps: (1) state the lead's emotional state and intended change in the season arc; (2) get the premise approved; (3) letter the stories; (4) choose act-out moments (first, per Espenson, or via reverse-engineering from the act-out, per Haywood); (5) board one-line beats per story; (6) blend; (7) pitch the board back to the lead one beat at a time; (8) hand over to one author for an outline of 9-14 pages. Sources give no validated test of a good break; checks below are proposals.

Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
