The Harbor Bell

A structural map and evidence inventory extracted from the sample manuscript. Saved Project Details are separated from possible items found in the manuscript. Counts and matches are review aids, not editorial judgment.

Accuracy note
This sample reflects the current Story Contents Index format. Built-in extraction can miss context, merge or split sections incorrectly, overcount repeated words, and misidentify names, places, motifs, or setup markers.
