Add LangGraph state management with validation and checkpoints

- Structured OpusState with Pydantic models
- PreWriting schema with Character, ChapterPlan, PlotBeat
- Validation functions for each stage
- Checkpoint save/load to disk
- Workflow nodes for each stage
- Cross-validation between stages
- Structured parsing of LLM outputs
