redacted sentence You draft all five in one session, sequentially, to disk, committing after each; keep everything you read in mind — you will not re-read.
Repo: redacted. Read IN FULL, in this order:
0. redacted sentence: unpublished prose These are binding for you: write plainly; when a sentence wants a trailing verdict, end it before the comma.
- notes/llm-tells.md (house-word convergence and tells 9–12), notes/farming.md (real facts only; magic in response to real problems; author's note at first appearance in the format given), notes/canon/world/farming-glossary.md (terms already explained — do NOT re-note these; note only genuinely new specialist terms).
- redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished notes/decision-principles.md.
- redacted sentence: unpublished prose
- summaries/book-01-arc-01.md, summaries/book-01-arc-02.md.
- plans/series.md, unpublished plans/book-01/overview.md, unpublished plans/book-01/arc-03.md unpublished (the beat plan incl. decisions D1–D13 in its Revisions log — binding; each chapter's specified ending cut).
- chapters/022 through 026 IN FULL — your immediate predecessors (continuity; names committed there: redacted, redacted, redacted, Ossett, redacted, redacted; redacted as built in 026; the parcel planted in 025).
Drafting rules: close third on Edwin, Voice D at the exemplar register — long stretches of plain report, wit by event and placement, max ~2 scene-grown similes per chapter, no appraisal formulas, no self-annotated devices, no free-floating epigrams, Peri never witty, endings are flat cuts on the plan's specified point with zero decoration after. Compound month names. Peri's System boxes as blockquoted bracket-text; 028 shows [Agent of Fate — Level 26] per D11. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose Every farming fact real; author's notes for new terms only.
Draft, in order: 027 "the-clearing-house" (~3,500), 028 "letters-from-the-vale" (~3,500), 029 "what-peri-asked" (~3,500), 030 "the-seventh-revealing" (~3,500), 031 "the-work-continues" (~3,500). Each to redacted/chapters/NNN-slug.md with first line '# Chapter N: {Title}'; commit after each with "Draft chapter NNN: Title" and trailer "Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 noreply@anthropic.com". Then report word counts, deviations, names committed, and terms noted.
I'll start by reading the required context.

All five chapters are drafted and committed.
Word counts (target ~3,500 each; total 16,026):
Calendar deviation (the only structural one). Ch. 026 as drafted ran to 26 Fallowmonth, ~4 days past the plan's table. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted date kept exactly), 031 = 18–20 Salt. Book still ends ~Day 96 on the road, and redacted's Frostmonth appointments are shown to work by an on-page sum (redacted by 21–22 Salt, west from the 25th, 14 Frostmonth kept).
Plan decisions honoured: D3 (rift by entries only — Edwin's own 21 Harvestmonth entry in 028, unretracted, with the three misspellings left standing; Peri's first line under the 19th found and not read in 029; ten bare); D4 (redacted's Frostmonth, intent not promise); D8 (031's nudge is the parcel: slater, swollen lid, redacted's sending-book line — two ordinary channels, deniable, no anointing of Peri, no change of route; Edwin sends redacted to Sorrel and she gets the field); D10 (Mattie's 24 Fal reading eliminates no cause — cause four weakened, not struck; nobody says the hedging works); D11 ([Agent of Fate — Level 26.] as a blockquoted box, mid-clerk-task, said once, flat); D6 (two dissenters, both right, both improve redacted); D12 (fifth site via the guild channel).
Names committed: redacted (soils fellow, ~80, the older-mage strain); redacted (college water mage); R. Shore (tenant at redacted grazing); redacted** (the parcel's parish, 19 miles west of Appleford) and **Mrs. redacted (its teacher of record); redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose Existing names used as committed: redacted, redacted, redacted, Ossett, redacted, redacted.
Farming/specialist terms: no new ones introduced, so no author's notes were added. Everything used (old pasture, spit, worm counts, peat auger/bores, chain, drove, spring line, green hay heating, muck rows, whips/growth-hold) is already in the glossary. The one new magical item is redacted, established in 026 and needing a magic.md Working entry at backfill.
Other flags for the editing/backfill pass: Peri's Weave answer in 029 is drafting's under the 024-style constraints and wants the "true, concrete, under-specified, never wrong" check; the college's fifth resolution names the instrument "Moss's" (institutions/edwin canon); the guild sheet, the site register at Wystow, and Edwin's signature "E. Moss, of Appleford" are new institutional facts.
