Canon consistency check on four newly drafted scenes of the third draft of Book 1 of Autoroad: draft/book-01/scenes/43-two-lines-one-field.md unpublished, 44-where-they-stopped-writing.md unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished, 46-a-list-of-houses.md unpublished. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished and draft/book-01/SCENES.md (the act-two binding list at its foot). Also read scenes 34–42 for continuity (not under review). Do NOT read anything under notes/sealed/.

redacted sentence: unpublished prose Numbered, terse, no praise.

The consistency-check task has been delegated to a sonnet subagent that's reading all the required canon files (README, system.md, timeline.md, silent-soil.md, Holm Deep reference, redacted/minor/peri/edwin character files, clue-ledger.md, deferred-questions.md, SCENES.md act-two list) plus scenes 34-42 for continuity, then checking the four target scenes (43-46) against them.

It's running now — I'll report the findings once it completes.

⚙ background task finished — Agent "Canon consistency check on 4 scenes" finished

Consistency Check — Scenes 43–46

1. Contradictions: None found. Chain-reading figures, dates, Holm Deep interval math, mileage, roster arithmetic, and quote reuse all verified exact against canon.

2. Deferred questions resolved casually: None. Scene 43 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose

3. Day/date/calendar errors: None. Scene 42 unpublished = Day 13 (27 Cornmonth); scene 43 unpublished = Days 14–15 (28–29 Cornmonth); scenes 44–46 = Day 15 (29 Cornmonth). Arithmetic checks out.

4. Names/sums/distances/headcounts: None in error.

5. Backfill candidates (new facts to feed consistency-backfill):

  1. Scene 43 unpublished — chain-rerun labour split: Burl holds the post end, Tess writes, Peri inspects the line.
  2. Scene 45 unpublished — redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose
  3. Scene 46 unpublished — redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose
  4. Scene 44 unpublished — the Charter-house slate as a weekly public log (14th/21st/28th Cornmonth), distinct from redacted's private book; supports the deduction "somebody walks somewhere on the same day of the week."
  5. Scene 45 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose

Drift/ambiguity (not canon errors, flag for housekeeping):

  1. plans/book-01/clue-ledger.md unpublished is keyed to a stale scene-numbering scheme and can't currently verify clue-budget compliance for scenes 43–46.
  2. draft/book-01/SCENES.md's Act 2 binding note implies "clue 1" (redacted's people) should land in scene 44 unpublished (listed as "44, 69"), but the drafted scene 44 unpublished contains no such clue — either the binding note's scene number is stale or a planned clue was dropped. Worth confirming before chapter assembly.
