Inter-Stage Communication Protocol
Stage Handoff Requirements
Each stage must provide:
1.Content Summary: Key points for next stage integration
2.Citation Registry: All references used for final compilation
3.Word Count Tracking: Running total for target compliance
4.Transition Statements: Smooth connections to next section
Consistency Maintenance
Maintain terminology glossary across stages
Ensure argument flow continuity
Preserve citation format consistency
Apply configuration settings uniformly
