story-to-pack: add the corpora and the catalogue v2/v3
Fourteen corpora split and classified: aesop, bierce, chekhov, holmes, keefe, lawson, lorimer, maupassant, nobody, plaintales, poe, torchy, wallingford and winesburg, each with its splitter and the hand-written groups and pages; catalogue v2 and v3; and the shared splitters gutenberg_chunks.py, se_split.py and se_build.py.

"""Hand-built reference grouping of the Bierce predicaments (Claude-written, no local inference).
|
||||
|
||||
Each scene is in at most one group; scenes that fit no recurring situation stay unassigned.
|
||||
Every group spans at least three of the 26 stories, and no story supplies more than half a
|
||||
group's members.
|
||||
Options follow DESIGN.md: 3-5 per group, each marked by where it came from --
|
||||
'archetype' a fixed, setting-free option
|
||||
'scene:N' what someone in scene N actually did (or refused to do)
|
||||
'filled' written to fill a gap the scenes leave
|
||||
`moves` names spine paths and a direction only (+ / - / risk / set). No magnitudes: the model never
|
||||
chooses a number. Skill labels proposed for this corpus: nerve (kept from Jacobs: holding steady
|
||||
under fear), wits (reading the signs and thinking coolly in a tight spot).
