You are a canon-consistency lens for a novel. Working directory: redacted. Do NOT edit any file. Do not read anything under notes/sealed/.

Read in full: draft/book-01/scenes/37-what-would-have-to-be-true.md, 38-twelve-stakes.md, 39-read-it-as-six.md, and for continuity scenes 33–36 and 21 in the same directory. redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished draft/book-01/REMAINDER.md, and the act-two binding list at the foot of draft/book-01/SCENES.md.

Report every place the three scenes contradict canon or a ruling: quoted line, canon file and fact, proposed replacement. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose Also list facts the scenes establish that canon does not yet record. Findings only, terse.

No conflict there — no other Weave question is recorded for Day 11/12, so the "man in the robe" question is new, uncontradicted material. I now have enough to write the report.

Findings

redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose

One structural issue found, not a factual error:

redacted sentence: unpublished prose a date extended in ink"). redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose This doesn't break in-story chronology (letters-then-dig is the correct order of events), but it inverts the plan's intended discovery-move rotation and slug/day assignment at those two slots — worth reconciling one way or the other (rename the files to match the plan, or update SCENES.md) before assembly.

Facts these scenes establish that canon does not yet record (candidates for consistency-backfill, none conflicting):
redacted sentence: unpublished prose
redacted sentence: unpublished prose
redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished it lines up closely with the established ~9-week gap between the Weedmonth chain reading and Day 11.
redacted sentence: unpublished prose

No line names a realm, a god, a holiday, a king, or "six counties" — confirmed clean against the standing restriction in draft/book-01/SCENES.md.
