## Task Summary
- **What to build**: survey_report.md and handoff.md analyzing EP01 screenplay structure, pacing expansion requirements, and Đạm Tiên 3-beat sequence.
- **Success criteria**: Complete gap analysis between existing materials and cinematic 25-30m pacing, full alignment with Nguyễn Du's original verse beats, and actionable scene breakdown.
- **Interface contracts**: ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md, survey_report.md, handoff.md
- **Code layout**: c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\spec_miner_survey_1\

## Key Decisions Made
- Initialized survey plan and established baseline from ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md and repository docs.
- Completed comprehensive survey of EP01 narrative structure: diagnosed compression root cause (48 shots / 8 mins).
- Architected 188-shot roadmap totaling 29m40s for R1 classical pacing expansion across 3 balanced acts.
- Re-architected Đạm Tiên grave sequence into canonical 3-beat structure (C05-A, C05-B, C05-C) restoring "ngọn tiểu khê" and "dấu hài in rêu".
- Highlighted Anti-Male-Tears violations (Kim Trọng crying in C10) and established strict correction criteria.
- Compiled findings into survey_report.md and handoff.md.
