repair-style

Style is pedagogy made audible. A mismatched tone breaks trust with the student. Every correction must fix the voice without silencing the message.

Purpose

Apply corrections to editorial style violations documented in the style review changelog. Resolve tone inconsistencies, voice deviations, register mismatches, and formatting violations per the Manual de Voz Sinapsis. Preserve pedagogical content and curricular alignment throughout all corrections.

Procedure

1. Load changelog: Read the style review changelog from project/reports/style-review-*.md. Parse each violation entry (location, violation type, severity, suggested fix).
2. Load voice manual: Read references/voice-manual-rules.md for authoritative style rules.
3. Prioritize: Sort violations by severity (critical > major > minor). Process critical violations first.
4. Apply corrections: For each violation:
   • Read the original passage in the unit file.
   • Apply the correction per the suggested fix or voice manual rule.
   • Verify the pedagogical meaning is unchanged by comparing before/after.
5. Residual scan: After all corrections, scan the full unit for residual violations that may have been missed in the original review or introduced by corrections.
6. Meaning integrity check: Re-read every modified passage. Confirm no curricular term, destreza reference, or pedagogical instruction was altered.
7. Produce repair report: List every correction with before/after text, rule applied, and integrity status.

Error Handling

Anti-Patterns

• Meaning drift: Changing a sentence's style and accidentally changing its pedagogical meaning. Always compare before/after semantically.
• Over-correction: Rewriting entire paragraphs when only one phrase violates. Minimize the edit surface.
• Rule stacking: Applying multiple contradictory rules to the same passage. Use rule priority from the voice manual.
• Ignoring context: Applying formal register rules to a section intentionally written in student-friendly informal tone (e.g., "Ponte pilas").
• Blind automation: Applying suggested fixes without reading the surrounding context. Each fix needs contextual judgment.
