You are a canon-consistency lens for a novel draft. Facts only — no style or voice comments, and never propose cutting a reason, an explanation, an answer or a qualification.

Read, in full (rulings accumulate dated at the bottom of files, so read whole files):

Read ONLY the files listed above. Do not open, search, glob or grep any other directory or file; do not use grep or find at all.

Scene 27 is the evening of Day 7 (21 Cornmonth) at Saltings Corner: Edwin reads the inn's fouled cellar (the yard drain re-laid badly in Seedmonth — a canon fact in timeline.md — with a backwards fall sending yard water under the cellar wall), charges sixpence, and Peri files it under LESSONS. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

Report as a list of findings only: quoted line, the conflicting fact (file and quote), and a minimal replacement preserving the sentence's reason. If a fact is merely uncited but not contradicted, say "uncontradicted, uncited" and move on. No praise. Your final message is the report.

Findings (facts only):

  1. Revealing type/order. Quote: "he cast the first of the six standard revealings on what the trowel carried, the assay of salts and sournesses, which was second-year work and cheap." Conflict: notes/canon/world/magic.md, "Established — audit additions," explicitly identifies this exact scene (Edwin's inn-cellar reading, ch. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose Minimal replacement: "he cast the fourth of the six standard revealings on what the trowel carried, the taint assay, for poisons, which was Edwin's own and cast alone."

  2. Cask count and onset date. Quote: "'I've lost two casks that stood against the north wall, turned sour weeks before their time... redacted sentence: unpublished prose 007, 008 — i.e. citing this same scene under its prior number). Draft changes both the count (two vs. three) and the onset (spring vs. midsummer). Minimal replacement: "I've lost three barrels that stood against the north wall... Since midsummer."

  3. redacted sentence: unpublished prose 007, 008) — i.e. payment happens on the page, not deferred to confirmation of the drain fix. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  4. redacted sentence: unpublished prose

  5. redacted sentence: unpublished prose Flagging for the farming-check lens, not a canon contradiction.

  6. Uncontradicted, uncited: the Seedmonth date for the drain's re-laying matches timeline.md's "Also this spring... redacted sentence: unpublished prose 008)" without conflict.

No other conflicts found in geography, timeline, mana state, Peri's notebook headings, forbidden names, or drainage/farming mechanics (the backwards-fall drain, yard water souring casks, dung-salt/straw seepage are all consistent with magic.md's drainage note and real-world plausibility).
