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/90-.md through 104-.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Write the result to redacted: private organised by canon target file (e.g. redacted sentence: unpublished prose Be exhaustive on facts, terse in wording.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.

Good, scenes 90-104 exist. Now let me read everything needed.

🔧 Bash: cat notes/canon/system.md (Read system.md)

✅ 40 lines, 2200 chars

🔧 Bash: for f in notes/canon/characters/*.md; do echo "=== $f ==="; cat "$f"; echo; done (Read character canon files)

✅ 41 lines, 2198 chars

This is large. Let me delegate the actual reading/extraction work efficiently using file reads directly rather than through bash cat (already saved to files). Let me read the saved outputs and world files, and the scenes.

Extraction complete.

Output path: redacted: private (481 lines, ~48 top-level bullets, organized by target canon file)
Counts: Most of scenes 90–104 are the third-draft rewrite of already-backfilled old chapters, so this pass is largely confirmatory; the agent identified roughly a dozen genuinely new facts/implications (e.g. redacted relaying a message out of Fenholt, the Charter's book being 140 years old, Marsh's private archival copy, redacted's full six-attempt construction sequence with costs) plus 1 contradiction and 1 new deferred-question candidate.
Three most important contradictions/flags (only one true contradiction found):
1. redacted' quoted timing for the redacted's unweathered cut face conflicts across drafts: new scene 95 unpublished has him say "That's twenty-eight days," while existing canon (old chapter) has him say "Twenty-six days" for the same face/visit — needs an explicit author ruling.
2. redacted sentence: unpublished prose
3. No other outright contradictions found — the rest of the pass surfaces new Working-level facts/implications to add rather than conflicts to resolve.
