Repo: redacted (a novel). Read-only on the repo: do not edit repo files, do not run git, never read notes/sealed/.

Follow the extraction half of .claude/skills/consistency-backfill/SKILL.md (read it first) for scenes draft/book-01/scenes/57-.md through 72-.md. Read all of notes/canon//*.md first (system.md, characters/, world/, deferred-beats.md, deferred-questions.md, README.md for claim levels).

For each scene, produce:

ESTABLISHED FACTS the scene states that canon does not yet record (with the exact quote and scene number): names, roles, ages, places, distances, prices, dates/days, System text (Skill/Level boxes verbatim), procedures, who-knows-what.
IMPLICATIONS beyond what it states (character history, geography, economy, institutions, magic mechanics) that canon should hold as Working claims.
CONTRADICTIONS with existing canon (quote both sides, name the canon file and line).
OPEN QUESTIONS the scene touches (from deferred-questions.md) and whether it resolves one.

Write the result to redacted: private organised by canon target file (e.g. "## characters/peri.md", "## world/timeline.md", "## world/geography.md", "## characters/minor.md") so a later pass can apply it file by file; within each, bullets with scene citations. Be exhaustive on facts, terse in wording. Do not include anything about the cause of redacted.

Report back only: the output path, the number of facts/implications/contradictions, and the three most important contradictions in one line each.

✅ 6 lines, 1067 chars

Extraction subagent is running in the background on scenes 57–61 (only these exist in the 57–72 range; 62–72 don't exist yet). I'll report back once it completes.

⚙ background task finished — Agent "Backfill extraction for scenes 57-61" finished

Extraction complete.

Output: redacted: private

Note: scenes 62–72 don't exist yet in the repo — only 57–61 do, so those five are what got covered.

Counts: ~35 established/confirmed facts (mostly re-confirming old-draft material now retold in the third draft), ~10 genuinely new facts/implications, 3 flagged contradictions.

Top three contradictions:

Hay-cut date: scene 57 unpublished says 20 Weedmonth vs. timeline.md's derived ~22 Weedmonth (2-day gap).
Ring-cutting procedure: scene 57 unpublished's staged band-by-band cut into an already-boarded bay (9 Harvestmonth) vs. old canon's single "cut last as one act" boarding announced 30 Cornmonth — likely the same plan elaborated, but needs a chronology ruling before merging.
Terminology: "other" (sc.61) vs. "misc." (old canon) for unnamed leakage-count items — trivial.

⚙ background task finished — Agent "Backfill extraction for scenes 62-72" finished

Both extraction passes are complete and appended to the same file.

Output: redacted: private

Scenes 62–72 results:

Counts: ~28 established/new facts, ~10 implications, 0 hard contradictions (2 soft items flagged for a ruling).
Top three notable findings (no genuine hard contradictions found for this range):
1. Sc.72 states flatly that wardens have died on past descents into this specific Deep — possibly new backstory needing a ruling, not previously in canon.
2. Possible tension between institutions.md's general "nine days" redacted response policy and sc.70's crew arriving one day after the letter was read.
3. Otherwise every date/hour/count across 62–72 matches existing canon exactly (currently cited to deleted old chs. 012–021); the needed backfill action is mostly promoting those to Established with re-citations to the new scene numbers, not resolving conflicts.

Combined with the earlier 57–61 pass (~35 facts, ~10 implications, 3 flagged contradictions — hay-cut date drift, ring-cutting procedure chronology, "other" vs "misc." terminology), the full file now covers scenes 57–72.
