Findings

1. "Eleven days" is arithmetically wrong — should be twelve.
Scene 54 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose the pantry door copied"; confirmed on-page in scene 31). Day 21 = 5 Harvestmonth is the day of scene 54 unpublished (per the task's stated calendar, and per scene 54 unpublished's own "fifth of Harvestmonth"). Day 21 − Day 9 = 12 days, not 11. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

2. redacted is misplaced — it belongs to the redacted/redacted thread, not the Sluice.
   redacted sentence it is tied specifically to the redacted/redacted site (site C), which is on the opposite side of Fenholt from Ranner's Sluice (redacted lies out along the made road toward Wystow, ~25 line-miles from Fenholt; the Sluice is 12 miles west of Fenholt). Citing it here as a redacted holding casually "east" of a "west of the Sluice" redacted territory imports a specific, already-placed landmark into an unrelated region ~70+ miles away, without acknowledging the distance. It also compounds with the new claim "west of the Sluice is redacted's country," which sits awkwardly against geography.md's established "redacted forty miles north" of Fenholt and "redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted's country west of the Sluice (which is itself west of Fenholt; that would put redacted southwest/west, not north-east). Recommend either genericizing redacted's line (a nameless redacted warren, not "Stow") or explicitly noting the real distance so redacted isn't implied to be local to the Sluice.

3. Mattie's canon line is deliberately not quoted verbatim — no factual drift found.
Canon (mattie-ordish.md): "It's my field. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished, l.19): "It's my field... redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose chain it on the twenty-fourth" correctly anticipates the established 24 Harvestmonth chain reading and the Day-24 boarding of the far bay (scene 57 unpublished, per SCENES.md). No drift.

4. The rest of Peri's/Edwin's list in 54 checks out against earlier scenes:

• Box mis-sorted at the bridge, day after Peri arrived → scene 09 (Day 2), confirmed by the Ashway bridge's established habit of mis-sorting ("things land wrong," geography.md).
• Roof leak over the ledger → scene 10 (Day 3).
• Three letters, three hands, all east → scene 14 (Day 5).
• Oak at Fenholt already cut → scene 38 (Day 11), the engine's one bound move for this act (SCENES.md: "one small move this act (38, the oak already cut)... Edwin names it aloud once (54)") — correctly named exactly once, here.
• Second field fourteen miles back, not forty → matches the corrected pale-field distance in BACKFILL-ACT2.md ("fourteen miles west of Fenholt... not twelve") and scene 55 unpublished's own "fourteen miles."
  None of these touch a mouth, a site, a letter's contents, a reading, or who answers post — consistent with the binding.

5. Boot/cobbler item — new, but sanctioned by the act's own plan, and stays inside the rule.
Not shown in any earlier scene 25–53 (Peri's boot splitting near the Sluice on the Day-18 return leg is asserted for the first time here), but it is explicitly anticipated in BACKFILL-ACT2.md's note for scene 54 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose It is Peri's own gear/body, not "Edwin's own chore and time," which is the letter of the engine-scope rule in SCENES.md — but Edwin's answer explicitly declines to confirm engine involvement and gives it a mundane, deniable cause ("he's got a daughter"), matching the required treatment of the other listed items (parcel, letters), which are likewise not strictly "Edwin's frictions" either. Judgment: within the rule as written on the page, but it's the item most likely to draw a reader's eye as scope creep if the "Edwin's own chore" language is read narrowly — worth the author's own look, not a hard violation.

6. Distances/candle/mechanics in 55 — all check out.
redacted sentence: unpublished prose

• redacted's, "fourteen miles west... two miles short of Ranner's Sluice," and "nineteen miles from Holm Deep": consistent arithmetic (14+5) and matches the corrected distance.
• redacted's "well one... forty miles north": matches geography.md's Charter reckoning.
• Candle "stood up straight the whole twenty [minutes]... redacted sentence: unpublished prose
• redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted.md/dungeons.md.
• "redacted's copied it here": redacted is an established minor figure (one of the two men redacted has drilled who stop, per BACKFILL-ACT2.md); no contradiction, but this is the first time redacted is placed as literate keeper of a day-book transcription — plausible, unflagged as fact but worth the author noting it's a small expansion of redacted's role.

7. redacted's post-bag offer is consistent** with silent-soil.md's established fact that "the Charter's post-bag now carr[ies] Fenholt's numbers to Wystow" — the Charter running its own bag is already on the page.

8. Sealed-file check (§4/'Can no longer happen' only): Edwin's list of eased things (parcel, roof, letters, oak, boot/cobbler, field distance) — each is given an independently plausible mundane cause on the page, none lands on a site, a record, a correspondent, or evidence, and the aim stated (getting Peri "east," toward Fenholt/the fen) is consistent with "out of the vale, with her." No overreach against the sealed shape found.

**9. No statement identified where a character asserts something they could not know — redacted and redacted's knowledge of redacted/redacted is institutional (day-book/Charter business) and plausible for their roles; the redacted issue above is a geography-placement problem, not a knowledge-state problem.

New facts (draft additions not yet in canon, if accepted):

• redacted's country described as lying "west of the Sluice" (tension with existing "forty miles north" / "north-east side" placement — see finding 2).
• Twenty minutes as the specific duration of redacted's candle-watch at the pale field's non-mouth.
• redacted as the person who copies redacted's chalked slate entries into the Charter's book.
• The cobbler at Ranner's Sluice with a daughter, and Peri's boot splitting on the return leg — first appearance on the page.
