Files here are conversation exports — each contains a mix of story prose (in AI responses) and meta-discussion (human prompts, planning). The actual story/scene content is embedded inside. Some files are nearly pure story; others are mostly design discussion with short scenes attached. Where a file is listed as "scene" it has readable narrative; "discussion" means it's mostly design/planning with limited prose.
