Project redacted. Read CLAUDE.md ("Sealed answers"). Then read the new/rewritten plan files: plans/series.md, unpublished plans/book-02/overview.md, unpublished plans/book-03/overview.md, unpublished plans/book-04/overview.md, unpublished plans/book-05/overview.md, unpublished and the last revision entry of plans/book-01/overview.md. unpublished Then read every sealed file in notes/sealed/ (destiny.md may be receiving a small edit from another agent right now — read it last, and re-read it before you finish), plus notes/theme.md, unpublished notes/premise.md, notes/canon/deferred-beats.md, notes/canon/world/healing.md, notes/canon/system.md ([Seal of the Loom]), notes/canon/characters/redacted.md and peri.md.

Two jobs, adversarial:

A. LEAKS. The plan files are user-visible; DRMacIver reads them and must not learn sealed content from them. redacted sentence: unpublished prose Find every place a plan file states or lets a reader infer sealed content — redacted's mechanism, state or cause; the Deep's mechanism; the destiny answer's fulfilment test, the engine's verbs, the fill-in; Peri's pre-Choosing answer; redacted's people. Be strict: phrases like "the state, not the cause", "the pivot", "nothing awake", "the circuit", "the treatment column", "the negative-control parish", "the charm and the field in one sentence", "the smoothing", "whatever has her in it", "the demand", "no hold left" etc. may all be leaks if they let the reader reconstruct an answer. For each: file, exact quote, what it leaks, and a replacement wording that keeps the plan usable (an item number plus a page-level description).

B. CONSISTENCY. Every place a plan contradicts a sealed must-happen / can-no-longer-happen list, a clue's Must-not, a schedule (which book an item belongs to), a character guard (redacted never has an opinion on the Seal; nothing sourced to her upbringing at a mouth; Peri's gated clues; the engine never on evidence or near a mouth/site), theme.md's anchors and ending, premise.md's party/romance rules, or canon (ages, the calendar, the Choosing at 18, redacted, the Seal's two failure modes, healing.md's orders). redacted sentence: unpublished prose

FINAL REPLY: a numbered list, severity (BREAKS / LEAKS / STRAINS / NIT), file + quote + fix. Your reply is read by the author, so your fixes and explanations must themselves contain no sealed content — describe leaks by pointing at the quote and saying "reveals sealed material from <file> §<section>" without restating it. Do not edit any file.

I'll start by reading the required files.

I have read all the listed files (destiny.md re-checked at the end; git status shows no uncommitted edit to it, so what I read is current). Findings, worst first.

BREAKS

1. The tier-up cannot happen where the plans put it.
redacted sentence
redacted sentence: unpublished prose Peri ends Book 1 at [Agent of Fate — Level 26] (ch. 028, pinned in peri.md and timeline.md). She cannot reach 100 inside one book, however fast she levels. Also note a shortened cooldown is a level effect in canon (system.md line 22), not a tier effect, so the named payoff doesn't need a tier-up at all.
redacted sentence Do not leave it implicit.

2. Three files disagree about when the tier-up happens.
redacted sentence redacted sentence redacted sentence Three different answers.
Fix: pick one and state it in series.md rule 6 and peri.md in the same words; if it survives finding 1 at all.

3. deferred-beats.md still describes the child's binding under the superseded destiny answer.
notes/canon/deferred-beats.md, "redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose Canon and plan now contradict each other on a beat that is about to be drafted.
Fix: amend the deferred-beats line to match system.md's ruling without describing the field's content — e.g. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

LEAKS

Each of these lets a reader of a user-visible plan reconstruct sealed content. Fix pattern throughout: item number + what a reader sees on the page, never the name of the state, the mechanism, or the answer's own section titles.

  1. redacted sentence redacted sentence

  2. plans/series.md, unpublished Book 4 paragraph and plans/book-04/overview.md unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose The verb and the remedy together give away the sealed mechanism and the state (silent-soil §Reveal schedule, Book 4, items 1–2; §Mechanism). This is the single most damaging leak in the set, because it retro-explains everything cited in Books 2–3.
    redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  3. plans/book-03/overview.md unpublished §End-state:** *"The soil has a cause named in a kitchen and an open question (*whether waking is durable)." Same leak as 5, plus item 11's open question verbatim. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  4. redacted sentence redacted sentence
    redacted sentence redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  5. plans/book-05/overview.md unpublished §Beats, soil bullet: "the fragment about a book they did not write pays off as the register itself (2)" — states the sealed identification of a planted Weave fragment with its payoff (silent-soil, Book 5 item 2). redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  6. plans/series.md unpublished §The braid:** "Peri is its clerk (**the sealed answer's own word), paid back by three debts it names". Quoting the sealed file's own word, and disclosing that the answer demotes the co-lead (silent-soil §Peri's three debts). Also see finding 15 — it conflicts with a Peri guard. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  7. redacted sentence The word "smoothing" is that section's verb.
    redacted sentence: unpublished prose Nobody says the engine wanted anything."

  8. redacted sentence "Terminal rite" names the structural rule that clue 7 exists to reveal on the page (redacted-grandmother-people.md §3/§6 and clue 7's own Must not). Fix: "redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  9. redacted sentence redacted sentence

13. plans/book-03/overview.md: unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose Lower severity — system.md already states this failure mode publicly in near-identical words, so nothing sealed is disclosed. But clue 7c's Must not is that the failure is never explained; a plan that hands the drafter a stated cause invites a line of explanation.
redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  1. redacted sentence Each is meaning-level rather than page-level. Cite the numbers and describe what happens in the room.

STRAINS

15. "Clerk" is a forbidden framing for Peri. notes/sealed/peri-pre-choosing.md, Can no longer happen: no scene presenting her as a clerk or admiring her paperwork as such. plans/book-02/overview.md unpublished §4(d): "Peri clerk of record and something else beginning"; plans/series.md: unpublished "Peri is its clerk". The plans install as a role what the sealed guard forbids as a presentation.
redacted sentence

  1. redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose A thing with no existence cannot split, and a synod needs saying whose. Note theme.md uses "the church" loosely too, so this is a wording discipline, not a ruling to reverse.
    redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  2. redacted sentence The must-not is presumably aimed at the person-safety question (a Book 4 item), but as written it forbids the arc beat above it.
    redacted sentence: unpublished prose

18. The second binding's price is written for a much younger child. destiny.md §8 sets out the price of the child's binding as a span of years; "about twelve" (series.md) cuts that span to roughly a third. redacted sentence Nothing in the plans is wrong yet; the sealed file and the plan simply assume different children.

NITs

  1. redacted sentence Peri 20–21; Edwin 352–353"*). Everything else in the series table is arithmetically clean: Peri 18→19 (10542–43), 20–21 (10544–45), 24 in 10548; Edwin 350 + n. Fix: "Peri 21–23; Edwin 353–355."

  2. redacted sentence

  3. redacted sentence Canon dates the quarter-days nowhere I can find (institutions.md 104/575/587/734, farming-glossary.md 303 — all use them, none fixes them). redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  4. redacted sentence Fix: always prefix the file, as the same file does elsewhere.
