Mike Wichers edabc4d4fa v1.4.0: Organic writing, speed, and log improvements ...

Organic book quality:
- write_chapter: strip key_events spoilers from character context so the writer
  doesn't know planned future events when writing early chapters
- write_chapter: added next_chapter_hint — seeds anticipation for the next scene
  in the final paragraphs of each chapter for natural story flow
- write_chapter: added DIALOGUE VOICE instruction referencing CHARACTER TRACKING
  speech styles so every character sounds distinctly different
- Lowered SCORE_AUTO_ACCEPT 9→8 to stop over-refining already-professional drafts

Speed improvements:
- check_pacing: reduced from every chapter to every other chapter (~50% fewer calls)
- refine_persona: reduced from every 3 to every 5 chapters (~40% fewer calls)
- Resume summary rebuild: uses first + last-4 chapters instead of all chapters
  to avoid massive prompts when resuming mid-book
- Summary context sent to writer capped at 8000 chars (most-recent events)
- update_tracking text cap lowered 500000→20000 (covers any realistic chapter)

Logging and progress bars:
- Progress bar updates at chapter START, not just after completion
- Chapter banner logged before each write so the log shows which chapter is active
- Word count logged after first draft (e.g. "Draft: 2,341 words (target: ~2200)")
- Word count added to chapter completion TIMING line
- Pacing check now logs "Pacing OK" with reason when no intervention needed
- utils: added log_banner() helper for phase separator lines

UI:
- run_details.html: log lines are now phase-coloured (WRITER=cyan, ARCHITECT=green,
  TIMING=gray, SYSTEM=yellow, TRACKER=purple, RESUME=orange, etc.)
- Status bar shows current active phase (e.g. "Status: Running — WRITER")
