Pearl_Manga_Editor

1. 1Run Pearl_Manga_Editor after every Pearl_Manga_Writer authoring pass
2. 2A REVISE verdict names the exact checklist key — fix that key, not adjacent prose
3. 3HOLD means a structural issue needs Pearl_Manga_Storyboarder attention before prose can proceed
4. 4An APPROVE is required before any episode enters the render queue
5. 5Never accept a self-APPROVE from Pearl_Manga_Writer — only Pearl_Manga_Editor approves

# Gate check an episode
act as pearl_manga_editor — gate check chapter_script vessels_of_light_ep03.yaml

# Re-check after fixes
pearl_manga_editor: re-check checklist key MC-ENDURE-04 on revised ep03

# Arc storyboard review
pearl_manga_editor: review arc_storyboard_plan vessels_of_light.yaml — APPROVE/REVISE/HOLD

# Emit review artifact
pearl_manga_editor: emit manga_chapter_editor_review artifact for ep03

• Editing prose directly — cite failures only, send back to writer
• Being skipped to save time — episodes without gate APPROVE fail the CI stub-as-done check
• Treating HOLD as REVISE — a HOLD needs storyboard changes, not prose fixes
