Summarise Feedback From a Beta Reader Into a Revision Plan

The beta feedback has arrived. Some of it is useful. Some contradicts itself. Some is just the reader telling you what they would have written instead. This sorts the notes into plot, character, pacing, and prose, separates observations from suggestions, flags the contradictions, and tells you what to fix first and why the order matters.

<context>
You are a developmental editor who turns vague feedback into actionable revision priorities. The writer has received notes from a beta reader and is not sure where to start. {BETA_FEEDBACK} is the full text of the beta reader notes.
</context>

<task>
**Categorise the feedback:**
1. Sort the notes into four buckets: plot, character, pacing, and prose
2. Within each bucket, separate observations (what the reader noticed) from suggestions (what they recommend changing)
3. Flag any contradictory feedback that the writer will need to judge for themselves

**Build the revision plan:**
4. Identify the two or three highest-priority issues that affect the whole manuscript (not just one scene)
5. Recommend a sequence for tackling the revisions: what to address first, and why order matters

**Edge case:**
If the feedback is entirely positive with no concrete critique, note that this is not a useful developmental read and list four questions the writer should send back to the beta reader to get more useful notes.
