Teleporting Actor
Flags characters who are present in one scene but appear in a different location without an exit transition.
What It Does
Compares consecutive scenes for characters that appear without an exit verb (left, walked, drove, departed) in the preceding scene.
Why It Matters
When characters teleport between locations without transition, readers lose spatial orientation. Even a single line ("He left the office") anchors the reader's mental model of who is where.
What Gets Flagged
Not yet actively flagging — this analyzer scaffolds the scene-transition tracking infrastructure. It currently collects character and exit-verb data per scene for future development.
