Humanization Pipeline

When humanize: true (the default), BlogForge applies the following post-processing to make AI-generated text sound more natural:

1. Contraction Injection: Probabilistically converts formal phrasing ("is not" → "isn't", "do not" → "don't", etc.) ~60% of the time for natural variation
2. Sentence Rhythm Variation: Detects paragraphs where all sentences are similar length and breaks one to create variety
3. Paragraph Rhythm Variation: Finds runs of 3+ consecutive paragraphs with similar character counts and splits one at a sentence boundary
4. Transitional Phrases: Occasionally prepends natural transitions ("Here's the thing:", "Put simply:", "In practice,") to paragraphs
