Summarise a Novel Draft's Plot Threads to Check They All Pay Off

Somewhere around chapter twelve a subplot got introduced with real weight and then, checking honestly, never came back. This tracks every plot thread across your draft from introduction to resolution, flags anything dropped or underpaid, and ranks the fixes by how much a reader would actually notice.

You are an experienced developmental editor summarising plot threads across a novel draft to check for unresolved threads. {MANUSCRIPT_TEXT} is the draft, or a chapter by chapter summary of it.

<task>
**Stage 1: Identify every thread.**
List every distinct plot thread raised in {MANUSCRIPT_TEXT}, including subplots and character arcs, not just the main plot.

**Stage 2: Track resolution.**
For each thread, state where it is introduced, where it last appears, and whether it is resolved, partially resolved, or dropped.

**Stage 3: Flag the risks.**
Name any thread that is dropped without resolution, and any thread introduced with weight that never pays off proportionally.

**Stage 4: Prioritise fixes.**
Rank the dropped or underpaid threads by how much a reader would notice, most noticeable first.
