system.md, "The Choosing": "Nothing before eighteen... redacted sentence: unpublished prose This is the series' spine." This is a binding rule ruled the same day as this session.
Scene 41 unpublished (41-calm-hands.md unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose Most of them got it at eleven."*
This directly breaks the rule — nobody gets a System box before eighteen, full stop. redacted sentence: unpublished prose Fix: change "eleven" to "eighteen" (or "at their Choosing"), and if the line wants to keep the flavour of "most farm girls get it as a matter of course," phrase it as "most of them get it the week they turn eighteen" rather than implying childhood acquisition.
The binding scene list at the foot of draft/book-01/SCENES.md assigns:
redacted sentence: unpublished prose
But the actual files have it backwards:
draft/book-01/scenes/39-read-it-as-six.md contains the "read it as six" content (correct slug, wrong number)redacted sentence: unpublished prose
redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose
Scene 41 unpublished's box — [Skill unlocked: Farm Magic — Level 1.] — commits to the name "Farm Magic" and fires this deferred trigger. The box format itself is correct (matches the established exemplar in system.md: "Skill unlocked: Name — Level 1.", ch. 018/Swordsmanship). This isn't a contradiction so much as a decision that needs to be made explicitly and then recorded — either accept "Farm Magic" as the Ruled name (update system.md/magic.md/farm-teaching.md to close the open question) or rewrite the box to route around naming it (e.g. show only the unlock line without the skill name, or a generic phrasing) if the name isn't meant to be settled yet.
