• editor: screenplay page estimates no longer count prose twice after switching editor modes (#325)
• editor: changing a slugline's time of day keeps dash-separated location details (#326)
• editor: duplicating a scene or chapter keeps its discovery notes and linked references (#302)
• db: a failure partway through adding a chapter, reordering beats or promoting a note to a beat no longer leaves the outline half-changed (#376)
