+Turn the verified research notes (Step 2) into a full draft. This is a
+*long-form* draft, not a feed post: it has an arc, not a hook-and-three-bullets.
+
+> **This phase may span multiple sessions.** A long edition can exceed a single
+> session's context budget. If you approach the budget mid-draft, stop cleanly,
+> write the partial draft to the edition folder, record `currentPhase: "draft"`

+> "draft resumes at section <X>" pointer to the edition-HANDOVER §6. The next
+> session re-reads Step 0, picks up the cursor, and continues. Never start the
+> consistency pass (Step 4) on a half-written draft.
+
+**Procedure:**
+
+1. **Re-read the voice profile** (`assets/voice-samples/`) before writing a single
+   sentence — this is the existing LTL rule and it is not optional for long-form.
+   The draft must read as the author, not as generic LinkedIn prose.
+
+2. **Lay out the dramaturgical order** from the brief (Step 1) and notes (Step 2):
+   - **Ingress + first paragraph** establish ONE clear premise (this is the front
+     half of the premise→conclusion arc enforced in Step 4).
+   - **Body** develops the 2–4 key points in the order that builds tension, each
+     anchored to a verified note. Carry each note's source marker inline as a
+     comment so the Step 5 fact-check sweep can find it.
+   - **Conclusion** grips the premise concretely and twists it forward (direction +
+     one concrete grip) — it does not merely summarize.
+
+3. **Draft with the `content-repurposer` muscle.** Reuse `agents/content-repurposer.md`
+   (its article→long-form conversion discipline) for the section-to-prose work —
+   invoke it via `Task` for individual sections when useful, *from this command
+   layer* (foreground, principle 4). The command owns assembly and voice; the
+   agent assists with conversion. The draft is voice-matched by THIS session, not
+   self-certified for voice — voice-match remains an `[OPERATØR]` / `[GATE:
+   voice-trainer]` judgment, never auto-passed (plan §10.0).
+
+4. **Write the draft** to the edition folder (`<serie>/linkedin/<article>.draft.md`),
+   set `currentPhase: "draft"` in `edition-state.json`, and append a
+   "draft complete → next: consistency/quality" pointer to the HANDOVER §6.
+
+```
+Draft complete (or: partial — resumes at section <X>).
+- Premise established: <one line>
+- Key points drafted: <N>/<N>
+- Voice-match: [OPERATØR]/[GATE: voice-trainer] — NOT self-certified
+Draft written: <serie>/linkedin/<article>.draft.md
+Next: Step 4 — Consistency + quality.
+```
+
+## Step 4: Consistency + quality
+
+Run the draft through the long-form quality rules. This is a *tightening* pass —
+the gap between draft and final is closed by **swapping weaker for sharper and
+cutting, not by expansion**; hold the length flat (plan §8).
+
+> **Inlined rules (forward-reference note).** The canonical long-form quality
+> rules live in `references/longform-quality-rules.md` — but that file is not
+> authored until plan step S12. So the rules are **inlined here now**. When S12
+> lands, this block is EXTRACTED to that reference file and replaced with a
+> pointer; there is no dangling reference at any point.
+
+**Calibration first (a per-sweep user choice, not a default — plan §8):** before
+running this pass, confirm fold-in aggressiveness (conservative vs. aggressive),
+jargon handling, and — when it matters later — persona weighting on conflict. Ask
+once if the Step 1 brief did not already settle it.
+
+Apply each rule and report a pass/flag per rule:
+
+1. **Threads.** Every thread opened in the ingress/body resolves by the
+   conclusion — no dropped setups, no orphaned promises.
+
+2. **Premise→conclusion arc.** The premise set in the ingress (Step 3) is the same
+   premise the conclusion grips and twists forward. If the draft drifted to a
+   different premise, realign the conclusion or the ingress — do not leave two
+   premises.
+
+3. **Leader-takeaway.** The edition lands ONE clear takeaway + ONE concrete action.
+   Cut references hard; hands-on credibility beats a citation-pile. If the reader
+   cannot state the takeaway in one sentence, tighten until they can.
+
+4. **AI-slop removal (forbidden phrases — strip on sight).** These are the Seres
+   ban-list; they read as machine-written and must not appear:
+   - "her må jeg være ærlig" / "for å være ærlig"
+   - "ikke bare X, men Y"
+   - gratuitous three-item listing (rule-of-three as a tic)
+   - "i en stadig mer kompleks verden"
+   - tacked-on summary sentences that restate what was just said
+
+5. **General, not org-/person-specific.** No personal agency anecdotes; present
+   opportunities, not provocations. At most ONE structural anchoring reference per
+   text — never repeated criticism of a named person.
+
+6. **Formatting dose (minimal).** Bold = at most one point per section. Short lists
+   (2–4 items) only where the text already enumerates — never turn load-bearing
+   reasoning into bullets. Tables sparingly. *"No article should look like a
+   PowerPoint printout."*
+
+7. **Close gaps by tightening, not expanding.** Swap weaker passages for sharper
+   ones; keep the length flat.
+
+After the pass, set `currentPhase: "quality"` in `edition-state.json` and append a
+"quality pass complete → next: fact-check sweep" pointer to the HANDOVER §6.
+
+```
+Consistency + quality pass complete.
+- Threads resolved: <yes/flags>
+- Premise→conclusion arc: <intact/realigned>
+- Leader-takeaway: <one line>
+- AI-slop phrases removed: <N>
+- Formatting dose: <within bounds/trimmed>
+- Length delta vs. draft: <flat/±N words>   (target: flat)
+Next: Step 5 — Fact-check sweep (guilty-until-disproven, BEFORE lock).
+```

+
+## Steps 5–10 (added in subsequent build sessions)
+
+The fact-check sweep, the pre-lock persona sweep, optional annotation,
+lock/delivery, the post-lock hook-gate, and scheduling are implemented in plan
+steps S9–S10. Each will append its phase here, reading the phase contract from
+`config/edition-state.template.json` and (once extracted in S12) the long-form
 quality rules from `references/longform-quality-rules.md`.
