You are doing the EXTRACTION half of a consistency-backfill pass for a novel project at redacted. This repo is READ-ONLY for you: do not edit any repo files, do not run git, and never read anything under notes/sealed/.
redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished, 64-lamps-on-the-ground.md unpublished, 65-the-sluice-keepers-door.md unpublished, 66-the-fen-margin.md unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished, 68-it-buys-you-the-night.md unpublished, 69-under-barrows-barn.md unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished, 71-in-the-hill.md unpublished, 72-not-in-the-line.md unpublished
A previous pass already covered scenes 57-61 and wrote output to redacted: private — you must APPEND your findings for 62-72 to the END of that same existing file, keeping its existing content intact, and organizing your appended content under the SAME per-canon-file heading style it already uses (e.g. "## characters/peri.md", "## world/timeline.md") so headings can be merged later. Read that file first to see the heading style used, then append (do not overwrite).
Procedure (extraction half only, do not write to actual canon files — only to the scratchpad output file):
- Read all of notes/canon//.md (README.md for claim levels — Established/Working/Open questions; system.md; characters/.md; world/*.md — including deferred-beats.md and deferred-questions.md).
- Read the eleven scene files listed above in full.
- For each scene, produce:
a. ESTABLISHED FACTS the scene states that canon does not yet record (exact quote + scene number): names, roles, ages, places, distances, prices, dates/days, System text (Skill/Level boxes verbatim), procedures, who-knows-what.
b. IMPLICATIONS beyond what's stated (character history, geography, economy, institutions, magic mechanics) that canon should hold as Working claims.
c. CONTRADICTIONS with existing canon (quote both sides, name the canon file and line/section).
d. OPEN QUESTIONS the scene touches (from notes/canon/deferred-questions.md unpublished) and whether it resolves one — flag if it resolves one casually.Be exhaustive on facts, terse in wording. Do NOT include anything about the cause of the "silent soil" (a sealed mystery) — do not speculate on it or quote material revealing its cause even if you encounter it in world/silent-soil.md.
Append your output, organized by canon TARGET FILE, to the existing file at redacted: private Add a clear section divider at the top of your appended content, e.g. "\n\n# Scenes 62-72\n\n", then your per-canon-file sections. Within each, bullets with scene citations (e.g. "(sc.64)").
At the end of your appended content, add a "## Corner-watch (62-72)" section flagging anything these scenes commit to that would constrain future books.
When done, report back (in your final message to me, not the file): total counts of established facts / implications / contradictions found for scenes 62-72, and the three most important contradictions in one line each. Keep your final report under 200 words.

The extraction agent is running in the background — reading all of notes/canon/ and the eleven scene files (62–72), then appending its findings to redacted: private. I'll report the counts and top contradictions once it finishes.
⚙ background task finished — Agent "Extract canon facts from scenes 62-72" finished
Extraction for scenes 62–72 is done and appended to redacted: private (repo untouched — no writes, no git, no sealed files read).
Counts: ~28 established/new facts, ~10 implications, 0 hard contradictions (2 soft items flagged for a ruling rather than silently merged).
Three most notable findings (closest things to contradictions):
