Repo: [redacted] (a novel). Read-only task; do not edit any file, do…

I'll start by reading the scenes.

I'll read the batches in order.

redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted character files. The book is unusually tight on dates — most of the arithmetic I checked (the 41/49-day Holm Deep counts, the 82-day "eleven weeks and five days", the chain figures, Day-N ↔ date, "seventy miles in eleven days", "twenty-seven days in the parish") is exactly right. What follows is what a careful reader could catch.

Contradictions

1. 59 vs 60 (same day, 10 Harvestmonth) — how long the mouth has blown.
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose
   60 is right. By the slate read aloud in 59 itself, the mouth drew on 28 Cornmonth, was "nothing either way" on 2 Harvestmonth, and first blew out on the 5th; 63 confirms it on the 13th ("blown out for eight days"). In 59, "eight days" should be five (eight is the gap since it stopped drawing, which the same speech already gives as twelve).

2. 56 vs 66 — the Seal's cooldown lands two days early.
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose
   66 is right and is the canon anchor (timeline: cast Day 1 = 15 Cornmonth, returns at midnight ending 13 Harvestmonth). On 7 Harvestmonth the count should read seven left, not eight; "eight left" would put the return on the 15th.

3. 110 misdates the "least useful adult present" speech.
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose Fix 110 to "the tenth".

4. 92 vs 39 — when Edwin last wrote to Sorrel.
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose
   39 is on the page and load-bearing; the 20th of Cornmonth is the date of his letter to Marsh (quoted back at him in 85). Either the interval becomes forty days from the 25th, or the sentence needs recasting ("not written her a proper letter since…").

5. 117 — redacted agreement figure changes inside one scene.
   redacted, at the count: "Nine of eleven ... Two a yard short. That's the figure." Peri, dictating the entry a page later: "they agree to a hand at ten of twelve and to a yard at two."
   Nine of eleven is right (eleven pegs, two moved a yard). "Ten of twelve" both contradicts it and mis-totals (10 + 2 = 12 ≠ 11); it looks like the twelve stakes leaking into the pegs count.

6. 73 vs 54 — where Peri's boots were mended.
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose 73 should say Ranner's Sluice — and "done it badly" contradicts the luck the coincidence list is built on.

7. 86 — the west-line projection is measured from a reading that does not exist.
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose
   The only west-line readings on the page are 6 ch 20 on 28 Cornmonth (43) and 6 ch 18 on the 29th (43); nothing is chained on "the fourth" of any month. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

8. 85 vs 89/93 — Edwin's promised date to Marsh is impossible as written.
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose I am at your works that day."* They leave Fenholt on the 4th (89) and it is three days' walk (Blackrow, east house, redacted on the 6th), which 93 then treats as being "two days late". Either the letter should promise a later day, or the two-days-late reckoning at the gate needs rewording — as it stands the most date-careful man in the book writes an arrival date he cannot physically make, and nobody notices.

9. 111 — redacted misdates the second-gate conversation.
   redacted sentence: unpublished prose on the thirteenth (canon: "23:52 on the 13th"). The rest of her sentence ("fifty-six days") is correct as counted from midnight of the 13th/14th.

10. 51 vs 52 — the pale-field trip loses its travel day.
    51 (30 Cornmonth): "The day after tomorrow ... Three days: a day there, a day in it, a day back, fourteen miles each way" — 52 has them at redacted's gate and hand-walking eleven twigs across the whole afternoon on the 2nd of Harvestmonth, i.e. the day they set out, fourteen miles away. The plan says three days; the prose spends two. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

11. 43 / 44 / 49 — "the fourteenth" is two different counting systems in adjacent paragraphs.
    redacted sentence: unpublished prose
    The day-numbers count from Peri's arrival (Day 14 = 28 Cornmonth), which no reader can derive; and the stakes were driven on 25 Cornmonth, so "on the fourteenth, with the stakes" reads as a date that contradicts the stake date. Recommend converting all three to days of the month.

12. 110 vs 78 — what Peri's level 7 was for.
    redacted sentence: unpublished prose The arm belongs to eight, not seven.

Scene vs canon files

redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished's title and text say four ("Posted the thirtieth", read on 4 Saltmonth). The scene is right; the canon line is stale.

• timeline.md Day 82 and peri.md both record [Agent of Fate — Level 26] at Wystow on 6 Saltmonth; scene 110 unpublished says level ten (and 117 says eleven). The character file's own "Level curve, superseded" note says 26 was overruled — the Day 82 bullet was never updated.
• redacted.md Established: *"redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted at the gate at all.

Possibly deliberate — check with the author

• The six weeks / eight weeks redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted writes eight, and 114 has the setter concede "redacted was right and he was hopeful." Reads as intended; flagged only because the timeline lists it under "flagged contradictions".
• Two boxes, both called "the box." In 54 Peri's coincidence list means the anonymous redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose 100 disentangles them explicitly, but the 54 exchange invites a reader to merge them.
  redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted names twelve at the Charter house long table in front of redacted and redacted (61), and describes her page to Peri in 72; "the dry road" is otherwise established as Edwin-and-Peri ground (62). If there was an off-page walk, fine; otherwise these should read "at the long table".
• 99, redacted: "I had a letter from redacted dated the eleventh saying the fifteenth." Edwin wrote to redacted on the 11th from redacted, thirty-five miles away; a redacted letter of the same date is tight to impossible. Probably means "off redacted's letter" — worth a word change.
• 66 vs 69, flood depth. 66: the margin "would go six inches under"; 69: redacted's eight acres hold "a foot of standing water". Defensible (the flash is the low ground), but the two figures sit four scenes apart on the same water.
