You are running the consistency-check skill on four newly drafted scenes of Book 1 of "Autoroad" (a LitRPG novel repo at redacted). Do NOT read anything under notes/sealed/.

Target scenes (read these in full):

draft/book-01/scenes/43-two-lines-one-field.md unpublished
draft/book-01/scenes/44-where-they-stopped-writing.md unpublished
redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished
draft/book-01/scenes/46-a-list-of-houses.md unpublished

Ground truth to read FIRST, in full:

notes/canon/README.md (claim levels: Established/on-page-cited, Working/binding-until-overruled, Open questions/deferred-with-trigger)
redacted sentence: unpublished prose
redacted sentence: unpublished prose
notes/canon/world/silent-soil.md
grep -rl "Holm Deep" notes/canon and read whichever file(s) it's in (may be world/ or elsewhere)
notes/canon/characters/redacted.md
notes/canon/characters/minor.md
notes/canon/characters/peri.md
notes/canon/characters/edwin.md
notes/canon/clue-ledger.md
notes/canon/deferred-questions.md unpublished (the index of every deferred question, its trigger, and owning file — read the whole triaged table)
draft/book-01/SCENES.md — specifically the act-two binding list at the foot of the file

Also read for continuity context only (NOT under review, do not report findings on these directly unless the new scenes contradict something stated in them):

draft/book-01/scenes/34 through 42 (whatever their filenames are — glob draft/book-01/scenes/3[4-9]-.md draft/book-01/scenes/4[0-2]-.md)

What to check in the four target scenes

Hard contradictions with Established or Working canon — quote the canon line (with file), quote the scene line (with file+location), give the minimal fix.
Deferred questions the scenes resolve casually — check each entry in deferred-questions.md's table against what the scenes say; note the entry's named trigger and whether these scenes constitute that trigger or a premature resolution.
redacted sentence: unpublished prose Check all date/day-count references in the four scenes for arithmetic consistency with each other, with timeline.md, and with scenes 34-42.
Names, sums, distances, roster counts that don't add up — within the four scenes themselves, and against canon (character names/spellings, ages — especially checking for any stray "21/three years" shed-age figures that should now read nineteen/second-year per the override — headcounts, money sums, travel distances/times).
New facts the four scenes establish that canon does not yet record — list as backfill candidates for the separate consistency-backfill skill (do not edit canon files yourself).

Output format

A numbered findings list, most severe first, using the categories above. For each finding: quote scene line + location, quote/cite conflicting canon or note absence, classify as contradiction / drift / ambiguity / backfill-candidate, suggest minimal fix. Be terse — no praise, no throat-clearing. If a category has no findings, say so plainly. Do not edit any files — this is a read-only check. Report your full findings list as your final answer.

The consistency check is running in the background as a subagent. I'll report the findings as soon as it completes.

Consistency Check — Scenes 43–46

Overview: All four scenes are tightly sourced to canon. All chain-figure arithmetic, dates, mileage, headcounts, and dialogue reuse were verified. No hard contradictions found.

Contradiction

None found. Verified exact matches against canon: chain readings (6ch20→6ch18; 9ch50/48→9ch73), dates (28/29 Cornmonth), Holm Deep interval math (82 days = "eleven weeks and five days"), mileage (Fenholt–Ashway = 32 miles), scene 45 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose

Deferred question resolved casually

None found. Scene 43 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose No god, holiday, realm, or Edwin class-name named; no lifespan guarantee stated.

Day/date/calendar errors

None found. Scene 42 unpublished = Day 13 (27 Cornmonth); scene 43 unpublished = Days 14–15 (28–29 Cornmonth); scenes 44–46 = Day 15 (29 Cornmonth). Internal arithmetic checks out throughout.

Names, sums, distances, headcounts

None found in error.

Backfill candidates (for consistency-backfill)

Scene 43 unpublished — labour division on the chain rerun: Burl holds the post end, Tess writes, Peri walks the line inspecting ground.
Scene 45 unpublished — redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose
Scene 46 unpublished — redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose
Scene 44 unpublished — the Charter-house slate as a weekly public log (dates 14th/21st/28th Cornmonth) distinct from redacted's private leakage book, with the deduction "somebody walks somewhere on the same day of the week."
Scene 45 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose

Drift / ambiguity

plans/book-01/clue-ledger.md unpublished is keyed to an old scene-numbering scheme (rewrite/book-01/arc-0N/scenes/, chapters 037–054) that doesn't map to the current draft/book-01/scenes/ numbering — it can't currently verify clue-budget compliance for scenes 43–46. Housekeeping gap, not a content error.
draft/book-01/SCENES.md's Act 2 binding note says "redacted's people sealed... clue 1 twice (44, 69)" implying a grandmother's-people clue should land in scene 44 unpublished, but the drafted scene 44 unpublished ("Where they stopped writing") contains only the Charter-board reading, no such clue. Either the binding note's scene number is stale or a planned clue was dropped — flag for confirmation before assembly, not a canon contradiction.
