Canon consistency check on two redrafted scenes:
draft/book-01/scenes/32-nobodys-going-to-laugh.mdand33-a-man-in-a-robe.md. redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished anddraft/book-01/SCENES.md(act-two binding list). Also read scenes 25–31 and 34–36 indraft/book-01/scenes/for continuity (not under review): check every back-reference (Tess's count in Weedmonth, nine weeks, the docking of 1s 3d, Sennet's Plowmonth walk, Ferrin's 12 Seedmonth and six fields, the hay in the loft, "gate at five", what Peri was told about the man in the robe in scene 02). Do NOT readnotes/sealed/. Report: (1) hard contradictions with canon or earlier third-draft scenes, both lines quoted, with a fix; (2) deferred questions resolved casually or binding-list rules broken (Ferrin must never be confirmed or mocked; the Weave's images are never confirmed); (3) date errors (Day 9 = 23 Cornmonth); (4) counts; (5) new facts canon does not record. Terse, numbered.

This is a large task. Let me delegate the bulk reading and cross-referencing to a subagent (sonnet) that returns a terse structured report, since I already have scenes 32/33 in context.

The consistency check is running in a subagent. I'll report back with the full findings once it completes.
⚙ background task finished — Agent "Canon consistency check scenes 32-33" finished
Consistency check complete. Findings on draft/book-01/scenes/32-nobodys-going-to-laugh.md and 33-a-man-in-a-robe.md:
1. Hard contradictions
notes/canon/characters/ferrin.md both say "gate to far redacted and back on the diagonal." Fix: change "far corner" → "far redacted" for consistency with both.2. Deferred questions / binding-list compliance
3. Date errors
ferrin.md/timeline. Month order (Seedmonth before Cornmonth) confirmed via system.md, so Sennet's Plowmonth drain-walk correctly predates it.4. Counts
mattie-ordish.md, scene 34) for the hay.mattie-ordish.md exactly.mattie-ordish.md's established figure — note it's now spoken by the alehouse keeper rather than Mattie, a change of mouth but not of fact.ferrin.md exactly.5. New facts introduced (flag for backfill, not resolved)
Only one actionable fix needed: "far corner" → "far redacted" in scene 33.
