Audit Only
Use this when you want the manuscript read like an editor would: find structural, continuity, pacing, voice, and chapter-level targets without changing the text.
Accountable revision
The Revision Center turns novel feedback into controlled, reviewable changes.
Instead of blindly rewriting a finished manuscript, FictionOS separates diagnosis, approval, patching, cost quote, history, rejection, and rollback.

History
Guided Revision
The safer default for serious work. The system proposes targets, estimates cost, waits for approval, then patches selected chapters while preserving history.
Auto Revision
Useful for low-risk cleanup after the writer understands the target set. Public copy should frame this as convenience, not a promise of perfect editing.
History is the accountability layer.
A writer or publisher should be able to see what changed, why it changed, what it cost, and how to recover the original.
Revision is where publisher seriousness begins: audit trail, original-prose preservation, quote-vs-actual cost discipline, and human approval matter more than flashy rewrite copy.
