structure.narrative-section

heuristicunmeasuredseverity: low

A behavioral claim we believe and have not measured. Labeled unmeasured in every reporter line, excluded from the chaff score, and never fails a build by default.

Claim

A resident section (3+ sentences, 40+ words) contains zero imperative sentences: narrative that costs tokens without directing behavior.

Rationale

Resident context should direct action; story-shaped sections pay rent every turn without issuing an instruction. Believed harmful; not yet measured.

Fix

Compress the narrative to the imperative rules it implies, or move it on-demand.
