Read compact screenplay document context, one movie sequence, one scene, or the explicit full document from BeatBandit's structured screenplay editor.

When to use

Use compact `mode=document` for document metadata and scene/sequence links.

Use `mode=sequence` with `sequence_number` to read about one movie sequence at a time.

Use `mode=document` with `document_scope=full` only when the caller explicitly needs the entire screenplay payload.

Use `mode=scene` when the caller needs one focused screenplay scene.

When not to use

Do not use for story graph reads or screenplay mutation.

Do not treat an in-flight `screenplay_writer` parent job as already persisted; poll `job_get` first if screenplay generation is still active.

Examples

“Get a compact screenplay document summary for project 42.”

“Read sequence 3 from project 42.”

“Read scene 50.10.20 from project 42.”
