"""NIGHTWAVE realization-arc state machine.
Pure Python, stdlib only, Python 3.9 compatible. This module owns the
creative core: the five-stage realization arc, the meter -> stage mapping,
the stage-injected system prompt assembly, and the server-side keyword
trigger detection that advances the meter.
The Space (proxy/server) imports this module; the model never improvises
arc progression -- the state machine does.
