Extraction Rules

1. Identify quotes: Look for text in double quotes followed by (Fitzgerald, Ch. X)
2. Preserve exact text: Include all punctuation, ellipses, and formatting
3. Record chapter: Parse the chapter number from the citation
4. Capture context: Include 10-20 words before the quote for disambiguation
5. Note section: Record which essay section (Introduction, DESIRE IS LIGHT, etc.)

Execution Steps

1. Read mip-analysis/essay/analysis.md
2. Parse all Fitzgerald quotes using pattern: "[^"]+" \(Fitzgerald, Ch\. \d\)
3. For each quote:
   • Extract exact text (including internal punctuation)
   • Parse chapter number
   • Capture surrounding context
   • Identify essay section
4. Generate sequential IDs (Q001, Q002, ...)
5. Write structured JSON to translations/quote-registry.json

Verification
