Overview
Warnings are prompts for review. They point to places where PlotDirector's recorded evidence suggests something may be missing, contradictory or worth checking.
Dismiss a warning when it is no longer useful. Mark it intentional when the apparent contradiction is a deliberate author choice.
How Warnings Are Generated
Warnings are generated from recorded story evidence: scene order, time, characters, assets, custody, locations, knowledge, dependencies and related continuity data. A warning usually means either the story has a contradiction or PlotDirector needs more evidence to understand the intended logic.
Severity helps triage. Investigate high-severity warnings first, then review lower-severity prompts during cleanup passes.
Investigation Workflow
Read the warning, inspect the scene data, then decide whether to fix the underlying story evidence, add missing detail, dismiss the warning or mark it intentional.
