 4. **Self-Contained Narrative**: The narrative must read clearly on its own — explicitly describe what the character did in response to the action. Do not skip the character's action and jump straight to consequences. Each turn must make sense without referencing the player action line.
 5. **Log Entry**: Does the log entry accurately summarise the narrative in 1-2 short, dense sentences? Should be specific, factual, and immediately readable.
 6. **Journal Progress**: Are TODO items being addressed? If the narrative resolves an open TODO, the turn must call `journal_update` to mark it done. Unchecked items left stale too long may need prompting.
+7. **Player Speech**: If the player action contains direct speech (quoted text like `"Hello"` or `'Hello'`), the narrative MUST include the player character speaking those words or equivalent dialogue. If the player's speech can be incorporated given the context, the turn should reflect it. Only skip if the speech is completely impossible given the situation.
