Arena personas, quotes and headlines and the auto-clip check are versioned templates (roadmap WS-O task 2). live.arena.persona, live.arena.quotes, live.arena.headline and live.clips.confirm move from passthrough to structured workflows (version 2 of each key), carrying Live's system prompts and JSON schemas verbatim. Live now sends data: the fighter's facts, the candidate lines, the beef event with its fighters, and the scene notes, timed speech, sounds and chat around a spike. The prepare hooks render them as Live did; the quotes schema only allows indexes of the lines given; answers without a fighter name, a valid pick or a headline are no answer, and clip is true only when the model said true. Parameters as before (persona 1200 tokens at 0.95, quotes 500 at 0.7, headline 80 at 1.0, clip check 220). test/live-templates.test.js checks the rendering; workflows.test runs all four end to end. npm test passes.
