For people translating or AI-translating Chinese webnovels into English, where terminology, character names, sect names, and cultivation levels drift across a long multi-chapter work. Chapter lock for Chinese webnovel / xianxia / cultivation terms: POST /v1/lock accepts pasted Chinese chapter text and returns convention hits and title-specific names from that text only. It is not a full novel machine-translation engine, and it is not a glossary pack.
