Follow [redacted] Your batch (files under draft/book-01/auth…

I'll start by reading the brief.

Now the lint.

Done. All ten notes checked against the scenes of their chapters (per publishing/chapters.json), farming.md rules 4-7, and author.md. Files are under redacted/draft/book-01/author-notes/. Final lint: 0 errors (3 residual warns, all at or near the level of the existing accepted notes).

Per file:

• 60-its-alive-all-of-it.md unpublished — minor rewording only (removed one causal "which", recast the acre clause). Spring-line geology, groundwater at ~10 °C mean annual air temperature, watercress beds, and the rod/pole/perch = 5.5 yd, 4 rods = chain, 40 = furlong, 160 sq rods = acre, 10-rod allotment all verified correct.
  redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished** — fixed two overclaims: "Two things prevent it, and only two" softened to "Two things stop it" (moist air is also required), and the retroreflection line changed from "each droplet throws light back the way it came" to "every droplet in front of you throws some of your own light straight back at you" (backscatter is real, total reversal is not). Also cut "from the bottom up" from the burn-off sentence, which is not reliably how radiation fog clears.
• 64-lamps-on-the-ground.md unpublished — trimmed the long item ~25 words (it was 227). Dark-adaptation physiology, rhodopsin regeneration, rod-free fovea, averted vision, and shepherds' counts in twenties all verified.
• **66-the-fen-margin.md unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose Hollandse Waterlinie facts (≈1 ft inundation, ditches hidden, 1672, still on the books in 1940, outmoded by aircraft) verified.
  redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose Trimmed ~25 words. Primary vs secondary wound closure, the golden-period rule, sailmaker's needle, waxed thread and blowfly strike within a day all verified.
• 69-under-barrows-barn.md unpublished** — no change. Water-tube level, 1 in 3600 fall being invisible but workable, Roman aqueduct gradients of a foot or two per mile, chorobates, drovers' 12-15 miles/day all verified.
• 71-in-the-hill.md unpublished — no change. Saddler's two-needle stitch vs lockstitch unzip, waxed linen, buckle wear, DOMS peaking on the second morning all verified.
• 73-thirteen-down.md unpublished — no change. Arrows pointing out, marking on the way in, dry-stone survival, lamp-low shadow-raking all verified.
• 75-the-second-chamber.md unpublished — replaced the metaphorical closer ("standing on one is a transaction with all of them") with a plain fact, per the no-cute-closer rule. Blackdamp (flame fails at an O₂ level above the collapse threshold), CO₂ pooling low, karst sinks reversing, and the ~35° angle of repose all verified.
• **77-eleven-seconds.md unpublished — no change. Extradural haematoma from the middle meningeal artery in its bone groove above the ear, the lucid interval, both-bones forearm coupling (single-bone break warrants looking at both joints), elevation and direct pressure all verified.

Claims left softened / unverifiable: none — nothing needed a redacted; the two overclaims (mist's "only two" preventers, droplet retroreflection) were rewritten rather than hedged.

Autobiographical claims present (all consistent with author.md, none contradicting the log):

• 64-lamps-on-the-ground.md unpublished` — "The first time I counted worms on a lawn at night I ruined the first hour by looking at my own torch." (new; fits the worm-count/soil bio)
• 66-the-fen-margin.md unpublished — the Dutch water-line digression, ending "I'll stop." (the chapter's one digression, author notices; fits the drainage-history special interest)
• `71-in-the-hill.md unpublished — "Every strap I handled on that farm had two or three hands' work in it and none of them were a saddler's." (new; fits the farm-summers bio)

One thing for you rather than me to rule on: author.md's third-draft log lists a ch. 33 claim (a road heard nine miles off) and a ch. 36 claim (worm counts on familiar ground) that do not appear in the notes for those chapters in this batch (67 and 73 respectively). Either the log is ahead of the files or the numbering has drifted since the regroup. I did not edit author.md.
