Who Fictional Death Ledger is for
- People who need a small, purpose-built utility instead of a broad platform.
- Users working with fiction, continuity, characters who want the documented v1.0.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Track fictional character life status, causes, witnesses, certainty, and spoiler boundaries by milestone.

Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
python -m pip install .
death-ledger examples/novel.json
death-ledger examples/novel.json --through "Chapter 8" --format jsonEvents must follow the declared milestone order. Statuses are alive, dead, missing, or unknown; certainty may be confirmed, reported, suspected, or ambiguous. Future events are omitted entirely from boundary reports.
Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
The tool validates structured author notes. It does not analyze prose, infer deaths, or decide whether an ambiguous event counts. A boundary cannot prevent spoilers already written into names or notes supplied by the user.
Requires Python 3.10 or newer. Development checks use Ruff, pytest with branch coverage, and package builds.
