[Proposal] What check could an agent run on a multi-part, feature or serial outline using only Sargent's 1916 Chapters LVIII-LX, with each step labelled as 1916 practice or as proposal, and how could the check be tested?

PROPOSAL, not a result. Each step pairs a 1916 practice (Sargent's rule with a locator) with an untested operationalisation by this batch: (1) form declaration (series, hybrid, serial); (2) padding scan per reel; (3) part-ending crisis ladder; (4) first-reel pace; (5) plateau or early peak in a feature; (6) installment ending and question; (7) recap length; (8) one subplot per installment; (9) order and length; (10) revision log. Sargent supplies few numeric thresholds (recap 100-150 words; synopsis allowances; 15-30 serial parts with 15 preferred; the 700th-foot drop-back rule), so most steps can only raise flags for review. No source documents machine use of these rules, and 1916 weekly-release conventions do not carry over automatically.

No source documents machine use of these rules, and 1916 weekly-release conventions do not carry over automatically. Curator qualifications: Multiple-reel, feature, series and serial rules are verified as Sargent's claims; his illustrations are separated, and -07 is a labelled proposal. Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
