Each iteration solves something the previous one couldn't. v6 set the original production tone. v8 sharpened the cuts. v10 added the compiled chart strip. v11 introduced RAG-driven scene assembly. v12 brought multiple language variants. v13 reached cadence-aware editing. v14 added Minard's third movement.
