1. Weekday name "Tuesday" — banned construction, must flag.
Scene 90 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose
Per notes/canon/world/timeline.md's audited chain: "No weekday names required or implied." The book's dating convention is always month-day (e.g. "4 Fallowmonth"), never weekday names. This is a clear violation, not a fact error. Minimal fix: replace "since Tuesday" with a date or a relative-day phrase ("three days back," "since market day," etc.) consistent with the rest of the book's diegetic dating.
"redacted's brother" — new, unestablished character detail.
Scene 90 unpublished: "would somebody tell redacted's brother." notes/canon/characters/minor.md establishes redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose not use it before Frostmonth"), with no family mentioned. A brother resident in redacted's country (40 miles from Fenholt) is new information — not contradicted, but should be flagged for canon backfill/author confirmation rather than silently introduced.
redacted's scar — new detail that sits awkwardly against the established one; flag for reconciliation.
Scene 90 unpublished: after Peri's palm scar is described, redacted says "I've one the same. redacted sentence: unpublished prose
notes/canon/characters/redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose 020)." That entry gives no side (left/right) but does give location (back of the hand) and effect (finger stiffness in cold). The draft's new scar is presented in a context implying a palm scar like Peri's ("one the same"), on the right hand, described only as an old white line — a different location/description from the canon entry, and it's ambiguous whether this is meant to be the same scar re-described or a second one. Minimal fix: either (a) explicitly root this in the established second-season back-of-hand scar (drop "one the same" phrasing that implies palm parity with Peri, and keep it consistent with "back of hand" + cold-weather stiffness), or (b) if intended as a distinct second scar, say so explicitly so it reads as new information rather than a silent contradiction, and add it to redacted.md.
4. Edwin's missile-drill count — contradicts the established weekly figure.
Scene 91 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose
Scene 89 unpublished (already-accepted prose, part of the Day-47 long-table settlement, cited in peri.md and on-page): *"a drill day once a week... redacted sentence: unpublished prose the established fifty is a direct contradiction of the standing arrangement set only four days earlier in-story. Minimal fix: change "his thirty" to "his fifty" in scene 91 unpublished, or if thirty is intentional (e.g., a first-week undershoot, mirroring Peri not "moving" on her figure), it needs an explicit line acknowledging the change from the stated fifty, the way Peri's shortfall is remarked on.
5. "Third no" on the four-mile test — timeline placement contradiction.
Scene 91 unpublished, closing lines: *"It's no, still. redacted sentence: unpublished prose
redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted's walk to redacted and back — not at the redacted place on Day 51. institutions.md lists the redacted place as the first of "four assessments in six weeks" bearing on the four-mile question (redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted; a warren south of Wystow). Having redacted declare this the third "no" at the very first assessment in the sequence is a timeline contradiction — it should be the first no, with the third reserved for the redacted walk five days later. Minimal fix: change "the third no" to "the first no" (or similar) in scene 91 unpublished, and let the later redacted scene carry the "third."
minor.md), and Day 50 = 4 Fallowmonth — only 4 days later. Calling a 4-day-old letter "last week" is a stretch but arguably fine as loose speech (crossing a month boundary). Flagging as minor/soft, not a hard error.Checks that came back clean (no issues found):
geography.md exactly.institutions.md and minor.md's redacted dog-date correction precisely.minor.md.notes/sealed/deeps.md: read for shape only; nothing in the two scenes appears to explain or over-commit the four-mile/thirty-mile mystery beyond what's already on the page elsewhere (redacted's frustration and the repeated "no" is consistent with the sealed material's shape, no leakage detected).minor.md.edwin.md's ledger-habits section.minor.md's existing sketch.No files were edited.
