Facts-only consistency check on two freshly drafted scenes in redacted: draft/book-01/scenes/101-of-this-college.md unpublished (Day 62 = 16 Fallowmonth, Wystow) and 102-plot-fourteen.md unpublished (Day 63 = 17 Fallowmonth, redacted). Read them, then check every checkable fact against notes/canon/world/timeline.md Days 62–63, notes/canon/characters/minor.md (redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted: the slip 'E. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted question 'No' and nothing written; her hand method: spade first, hand after? check 'the hand disagreed' beat against canon's twelve-walk test later), edwin.md (nineteen when he left; did he stand on plot 14 at nineteen? check whether canon has Edwin working plot 14 as a student — 'dug in all nine of' the soils), and the sealed silent-soil file (shape only): nothing explains cause; 'Is it always zero inside?' 'So far' is permitted? Also: (1) redacted's speech gives the prospectus line's content: consistent; 'since I was ninety' — fine given 140; (2) 'redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted's registers say eleven went first, and redacted says fourteen' — canon: 'the year plot 14 went' is day zero: does canon say 14 went first? FLAG if the draft's 'eleven first' contradicts; (3) the library slip's text: canon has 'E. Moss, of this college' by redacted unasked; the draft has the slip requesting the manuring series plots one to eight all volumes — fine? redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted: the draft gives it to an unknown third man: flag; (5) redacted's 'four houses in six weeks' count. STRICT: never read chapters/, rewrite/, draft/book-01/rejected-act2/, summaries/, or plans/book-01/arc-0*.md, unpublished or their git history. Report numbered findings with quoted line, canon source, minimal fix; then 'New facts'. Do not edit any file.

Facts-only consistency check: scenes 101–102 vs. canon

Findings

  1. redacted sentence: unpublished prose
    Scene 102 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose
    Canon (minor.md, redacted entry): *"redacted — a soils Fellow... redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted's specific descriptive tag, established as characterising him alone. Giving it to an anonymous fourth signatory contradicts the character-specific attribution. Minimal fix: cut the phrase from the unnamed man's description, or give him different, non-redacted-coded body language.

  2. Contradiction: "redacted's registers say eleven went first" vs. plot 14 established as the origin plot.
    Scene 101 unpublished, l.9: *"redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted's registers say eleven went first, and redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose
    redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted's memory. Also redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose Having redacted's own registers assert "eleven first" directly contradicts this established register content. Minimal fix: flip the attribution — redacted's registers (and the record) say fourteen went first; if a genuine unresolved disagreement between sources is wanted, it should not be sourced to the registers themselves.

  3. Misattribution: "The Fellowship's three at the Twelve Foot" vs. redacted sentence: unpublished prose
    Scene 101 unpublished, l.23 (redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted's six, Ossett's hall. That's four houses in six weeks..."*
    redacted sentence: unpublished prose As written, the line lists the Charter's three twice under two different labels (once as "Fellowship's three at the Twelve Foot," once as "the Charter's three") while dropping the real Charter-at-Twelve-Foot fact. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted's six, Ossett's hall."

  4. Also worth flagging alongside #3: the phrase "four houses in six weeks" duplicates, near-verbatim, canon's already-fixed "Four assessments in six weeks" (institutions.md, redacted's assessor entry: redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose Two unrelated "four … in six weeks" tallies for the same character risk being read as the same fact misremembered. Not a hard contradiction (different activities), but recommend rewording to avoid the echo, e.g. "four houses" → some other count, or explicitly distinguish it from the assessment tally.
