Findings

1. "Tuesday" — banned weekday name (scene 58 unpublished)

"I cut osiers there Tuesday."
redacted sentence: unpublished prose "I cut osiers there three days back" (or tie it to Tess's own count: "three days back, four" — Burl's timing then agrees with Tess's "Three days. Four." two paragraphs earlier instead of merely echoing it).

2. redacted "in there on the second" contradicts her established location that day (scene 59 unpublished)
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose
   This places redacted in the withy bed on 2 Harvestmonth. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose She cannot have been walking the withy bed and reading the mouth on the same day given the causeway is "a little under two hours" each way (geography.md:172-174, dungeons.md:41-43) — that's a 4-hour round trip alone, before any withy-bed work. Replace with a date she plausibly was in the withy bed (unlogged, ordinary rounds), e.g. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

3. Edwin's river-noise beat may pre-empt/duplicate the canon-reserved 13 Harvestmonth escalation (scene 59 unpublished)
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose 'Running. A lot of it. redacted sentence: unpublished prose
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose Edwin's version is heard only by kneeling with his head near the ground at the chain, not standing at distance, so it isn't a strict duplicate — but it is new, un-ledgered evidence three days ahead of the beat canon has built toward, and risks flattening the 13th's escalation if the later scene repeats "a river three fields off" as if it were new. No line in notes/sealed/deeps.md's "Clues to plant" authorises this beat. Flag for whoever drafts the 13 Harvestmonth scene: either soften scene 59 unpublished's line so the 13th still reads as an escalation (e.g. Edwin's version fainter, closer to "water" than "a river"), or confirm deliberately that this is meant as the first hearing and the 13th's is worse.

4. "The near pasture ... redacted sentence: unpublished prose
   Scene 58 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose A drain running along/under that bank is plausible (the main cut runs "past the withy bed," geography.md:163-171) but is not itself established. Not a hard contradiction, but flag as a new geographic detail (bank + drain together) rather than an existing fact, so it doesn't get treated as already-canon.

5. Minor: slate's "In." for the drew-entry
Scene 59 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose In." where established shorthand for a healthy draw is "drew" (dungeons.md:53, "Holm's drew on 28 Cornmonth"). "In." as a log abbreviation is a reasonable in-world compression, not a contradiction, but note it diverges from the word canon actually uses ("drew"); consider matching it (e.g. "Drew.") for consistency with the established vocabulary.

Checks that came back clean
redacted sentence: unpublished prose

• "Nine years" and "four times" (down the Deep before redacted) — both match characters/redacted.md:21,29anddungeons.md:57` exactly.
• "Sixty years of the book" — matches `dungeons.md:60-61.
• redacted denying water in the hill ("no water ... a trickle in the second chamber ... you step over it") — matches canon and the sealed must-not (no correct theorising, redacted's denial stands as scripted).
• The redacted-refusing-water beat is absent from 58-59, correctly reserved for scene 66 unpublished.
• No one theorises the mat/chemistry/sea; [Holm Deep.] said flat and unexplained; air direction stated at every reading; candle produces no name for the air — all honour the sealed must-nots.
• "Twenty feet of dressed stone laid without mortar by nobody living" — acceptable rewording of "no living hand laid" per task's own allowance.
• Departure/arrival timing (first light, six twigs, withy bed, ~2hr causeway, arrival 10:15) has no stated contradiction in the files read; plausible but not independently verifiable against a written departure time.
• redacted's Weedmonth/redacted refusal-line precedents are new but not contradicted by anything read.

New facts (for consistency-backfill, not yet in canon)
redacted sentence: unpublished prose

• The grazing/refusal line along the near pasture's north-east margin runs NW–SE, 8–10 yards wide, bending with the drain, marked with six hazel twigs cut and set by Edwin the night of Day 25.
• The withy bed's heron is explicitly confirmed as "the fourth since Cornmonth" on the page, spoken by redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose
• redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose
• The air-record entry for 10 Harvestmonth as narrated: "Out. Like the seventh. A little less, if anything."
• Edwin's private theory line, unconfirmed by redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose
