You are working in the git repo redacted (a novel project). Do not run git commands. Do not read or edit anything under notes/sealed/.

DRMacIver ruled on 2026-09-02: "I'm fine with the canon changes, we made some deliberate changes in book 1 to fix the pacing, and that seems fine. Please accept them." Your job is to backfill those accepted changes into canon.

Read plans/NEXT.md unpublished lines 1-60. redacted sentence Then edit:
redacted sentence (Claude)" (around line 220). Replace each with the established fact: at scene 111 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted; redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished), ruled accepted by DRMacIver 2026-09-02.
- notes/canon/characters/peri.md around line 257: "Did not tell redacted what the one cast was." Update the same way.
- notes/canon/world/timeline.md: around line 568 "unsettled. Book 1" — the auger question is settled at redacted in scene 115 unpublished (draft/book-01/scenes/115-the-ram.md unpublished; read it): Peri carries the auger. Also the book now ends on Day 98 (22 Saltmonth), scene 118 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished); record the last two days (Day 97-98) from scenes 116-118 briefly if the timeline stops at Day 96. Around lines 547 and 576: plot 14 is paced/walked on the 14th and 15th per the scenes (check scenes 105-106 for the dates actually on the page) and correct the timeline to match the page.
- notes/canon/world/magic.md around line 215 "(redacted in a day; ...": on the page (check scenes 113-114 for redacted) it is the second morning, not a day. Correct.
  Mark every edited claim with the scene citation and "(accepted by DRMacIver 2026-09-02)". Keep edits minimal; do not restructure the files.
In plans/NEXT.md, unpublished change the wording of that block so the departures are recorded as accepted (DRMacIver, 2026-09-02) and the backfill of those specific items as done; leave the other "owed" items (his read of 41-118, the lens "New facts" backfill, author's notes, chapter grouping) as they are.

Report back only: which files you edited, one line each on what changed, and anything you could not verify on the page. Do not quote the sealed material or speculate about it.

Also update the "Owed before publication" line to drop the now-done items from its scope slightly (leave as-is per instructions — it says leave other owed items alone, which I did).

Files edited:

notes/canon/characters/redacted.md — replaced the two "does not know the binding" claims (Established section and Working section) with the ch. 111 fact: Peri names the Seal and Edwin as the once, in front of redacted; redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished`, marked accepted by DRMacIver 2026-09-02.
`notes/canon/characters/peri.md — replaced "Did not tell redacted what the one cast was" with the same ch. 111 fact from Peri's side (asked "how many times," answers "Once," then names Edwin so the witnessed line isn't a lie by omission).
notes/canon/world/timeline.md — added Day 97 (21 Saltmonth, redacted worked, Level 11 at the eleventh peg) and Day 98 (22 Saltmonth, redacted's letter, Peri's frost-sense answer, the road's approach) as the new book close, per scenes 117–118, superseding the old "Book 1 ends here" at Day 96. Corrected the auger note: settled the day before (Day 95, 19 Saltmonth, at redacted — Peri says she'll carry it, redacted agrees) rather than left unsettled at Day 96. Checked plot 14's pacing/walking dates against scenes 105, 106, 113, 114 — found no discrepancy; the existing Day 63/72/73/89–93 entries already match the page, so left unchanged.
notes/canon/world/magic.md — corrected "redacted in a day" to "redacted on the second morning," quoting scene 113 unpublished's actual line.
plans/NEXT.md unpublished — reworded the Peri's-reckoning and departures blocks to record DRMacIver's 2026-09-02 acceptance and mark the specific backfilled items (Seal disclosure, Day 98 close, auger, redacted's timing) as done, while leaving the other owed items (redacted tally, redacted's knee, redacted's first warden, Weave verbatim text, "four days out of Fenholt," Level 10/11) as still open — I found no on-page discrepancy for those on inspection but did not attempt to verify or backfill them, per your scope.

Could not verify: the task description said plot 14 is "paced/walked on the 14th and 15th per the scenes... check scenes 105-106." Scenes 105 and 106 are actually dated the 26th and 27th (of Fallowmonth), and the timeline's existing Day 72/73 entries already reflect those dates correctly; the 16th/17th references near lines 547/576 belong to a separate, later plot-14 event (the five mages' training walk and the routine monthly pacing, Saltmonth) which also already matches scenes 113/114. I could not find a 14th/15th plot-14 discrepancy to correct, so I left that text as-is rather than guess at a change.
