Mike Wichers ff5093a5f9 fix: Pipeline hardening — error handling, token efficiency, and robustness
core/utils.py:
- estimate_tokens: improved heuristic 4 chars/token → 3.5 chars/token (more accurate)
- truncate_to_tokens: added keep_head=True mode for head+tail truncation (better
  context retention for story summaries that need both opening and recent content)
- load_json: explicit exception handling (json.JSONDecodeError, OSError) with log
  instead of silent returns; added utf-8 encoding with error replacement
- log_image_attempt: replaced bare except with (json.JSONDecodeError, OSError);
  added utf-8 encoding to output write
- log_usage: replaced bare except with AttributeError for token count extraction

story/bible_tracker.py:
- merge_selected_changes: wrapped all int() key casts (char idx, book num, beat idx)
  in try/except with meaningful log warning instead of crashing on malformed keys
- harvest_metadata: replaced bare except:pass with except Exception as e + log message

cli/engine.py:
- Persona validation: added warning when all 3 attempts fail and substandard persona
  is accepted — flags elevated voice-drift risk for the run
- Lore index updates: throttled from every chapter to every 3 chapters; lore is
  stable after the first few chapters (~10% token saving per book)
- Mid-gen consistency check: now samples first 2 + last 8 chapters instead of passing
  full manuscript — caps token cost regardless of book length

story/writer.py:
- Two-pass polish: added local filter-word density check (no API call); skips the
  Pro polish if density < 1 per 83 words — saves ~8K tokens on already-clean drafts
- Polish prompt: added prev_context_block for continuity — polished chapter now
  maintains seamless flow from the previous chapter's ending

marketing/fonts.py:
- Separated requests.exceptions.Timeout with specific log message vs generic failure
- Added explicit log message when Roboto fallback also fails (returns None)

marketing/blurb.py:
- Added word count trim: blurbs > 220 words trimmed to last sentence within 220 words
- Changed bare except to except Exception as e with log message
- Added utf-8 encoding to file writes; logs final word count

ROLE: Marketing Copywriter
TASK: Write a compelling back-cover blurb for a {meta.get('genre', 'fiction')} novel.
BOOK DETAILS:
- TITLE: {meta.get('title')}
- GENRE: {meta.get('genre')}
- AUDIENCE: {meta.get('target_audience', 'General')}
- PROTAGONIST: {protagonist_desc}
- LOGLINE: {bp.get('manual_instruction', '(none)')}
- KEY PLOT BEATS:
{beats_text}
BLURB STRUCTURE:
1. HOOK (1-2 sentences): Open with the protagonist's world and the inciting disruption. Make it urgent.
2. STAKES (2-3 sentences): Raise the central conflict. What does the protagonist stand to lose?
3. TENSION (1-2 sentences): Hint at the impossible choice or escalating danger without revealing the resolution.
4. HOOK CLOSE (1 sentence): End with a tantalising question or statement that demands the reader open the book.
RULES:
- 150-200 words total.
- DO NOT reveal the ending or resolution.
- Match the genre's marketing tone ({meta.get('genre', 'fiction')}: e.g. thriller = urgent/terse, romance = emotionally charged, fantasy = epic/wondrous, horror = dread-laden).
- Use present tense for the blurb voice.
- No "Blurb:", no title prefix, no labels — marketing copy only.
