feat: Implement ai_blueprint_v2.md — Exp 5, 6 & 7 (persona validation, mid-gen consistency, two-pass drafting)

Exp 6 — Iterative Persona Validation (story/style_persona.py + cli/engine.py):
- Added validate_persona(): generates ~200-word sample in persona voice, scores 1–10 via
  lightweight voice-quality prompt; accepts if ≥ 7/10
- cli/engine.py retries create_initial_persona() up to 3× until validation passes
- Expected: -20% Phase 3 voice-drift rewrites

Exp 5 — Mid-gen Consistency Snapshots (cli/engine.py):
- analyze_consistency() called every 10 chapters inside the writing loop
- Issues logged as ⚠️ warnings; non-blocking; score and summary emitted
- Expected: -30% post-generation continuity error rate

Exp 7 — Two-Pass Drafting (story/writer.py):
- After Flash rough draft, Pro model (model_logic) polishes prose against a strict
  checklist: filter words, deep POV, active voice, AI-isms, chapter hook
- max_attempts reduced 3 → 2 since polished prose needs fewer rewrite cycles
- Expected: +0.3 HQS with no increase in per-chapter cost

**Implemented Changes:**
- `enrich()` now logs explicit warnings if `book_metadata.title` or `book_metadata.genre` are null after enrichment, surfacing silent failures that previously cascaded into downstream crashes.
**Pending Experiments:**
- **Exp 6 (Iterative Persona Validation):** Generate a 200-word test passage in the new persona's voice and evaluate it before accepting. Run this experiment to validate the hypothesis that pre-validating the persona reduces Phase 3 voice-drift rewrites by ≥20%.
**Implemented (2026-02-22):**
- **Exp 6 (Iterative Persona Validation):** `validate_persona()` added to `story/style_persona.py`. Generates ~200-word sample passage, scores it 110 via a lightweight voice-quality prompt. Accepted if ≥ 7. `cli/engine.py` retries `create_initial_persona()` up to 3× until score passes. Expected: -20% Phase 3 voice-drift rewrites.
**Recommended Future Work:**
- Consider Alt 1-A (Dynamic Bible) for long epics where world-building is extensive. JIT character definition ensures every character detail is tied to a narrative purpose.

4. **`chapter_position` threading**: `cli/engine.py` calculates `chap_pos = i / max(len(chapters) - 1, 1)` and passes it to `write_chapter()`.
**Implemented (2026-02-22):**
- **Exp 7 (Two-Pass Drafting):** After the Flash rough draft, a Pro polish pass (`model_logic`) refines the chapter against a checklist (filter words, deep POV, active voice, AI-isms). `max_attempts` reduced 3 → 2 since polish produces cleaner prose before evaluation. Expected: +0.3 HQS with fewer rewrite cycles.
**Pending Experiments:**
- **Exp 7 (Two-Pass Drafting):** Test rough Flash draft + Pro polish against current iterative approach. High potential for consistent quality improvement with fewer rewrite cycles.
- **Exp 3 (Pre-score Beats):** Score each chapter's beat list for "writability" before drafting. Flag high-risk chapters for additional attempts upfront.
