DrizzleGig/dsh-novel-beat

Plot decision gate for novel writing: seven beat_* tools register each node that changes the story into a decision point with 2-4 structured options; author picks are written to a book-level ledger (canon + obligations) that later chapters inherit, beat_gate returns pass:false until every decision is made, beat_compile turns the picks into a chapter contract, and beat_verify checks the prose for missing changes, forbidden states and overdue obligations. Off by default; /beat on or the composer button enables it.
