This is for a canon-consistency audit of a fantasy novel draft (autoroad project, draft/book-01/scenes/). I need specific facts extracted from existing accepted-draft scenes numbered 25 through 62 in redacted/draft/book-01/scenes/ (list the directory first to get exact filenames).
Find and quote exactly, with scene number/filename and if possible line context:
- Scene 46 unpublished (or whichever scene lists it): a list of "nine steadings" — the full list of names/steadings, exact wording.
- Scene 45 unpublished (or nearby): any roster numbers — headcounts of people, e.g. how many are on a roster, a work party, a militia, etc.
- Any "leakage" counts anywhere in scenes 25-62 (water leakage, flood leakage, magic leakage — search broadly).
- Scene 62 unpublished: what Edwin said on a causeway — quote his dialogue/actions on the causeway in full or near-full.
- Scenes 07-11 (if they exist in this directory — they may not, since scenes here start at 25; if scenes 07-11 don't exist in this directory, note that and instead check whether any earlier scene text is referenced/summarized elsewhere, e.g. in SCENES.md or summaries/) — what was taught about a "redacted."
- Any lines spoken by an alehouse keeper character across scenes 25-62.
- Any lines spoken by a character named Sennet across scenes 25-62.
- Any mention of a redacted (creature) and water in scenes 25-62.
- Any mention of the Seal of the Loom's cooldown status/count in scenes 25-62 (to track how many days elapsed, whether it's been used again).
- Any dates/day-numbers mentioned in scenes 55-62 specifically (to establish what day scenes 63-68 should pick up at).
Be exhaustive and quote exactly rather than paraphrase for anything numeric or a direct back-reference. Organize by item number. This is pure extraction for another agent to cross-check; don't evaluate consistency yourself, just find and quote the facts. If scenes 07-11 truly don't exist anywhere in the repo (check draft/book-01/scenes/ and also chapters/ if that directory exists), say so clearly and note where the redacted teaching might instead appear (e.g. summaries/, notes/canon/world/farm-teaching.md).

Now let me check for the redacted more fully, "Seal of the Loom" cooldown, and confirm no scenes 07-11 exist as this numbering here (note: files 07-11 DO exist in this directory, unlike what the prompt assumed).

No "Seal of the Loom" cooldown mentions within scenes 25-62 specifically (only canon files and scene 03). No "leakage" hits anywhere; only unrelated "leak" (a roof leak) in scene 16. Now I have everything needed.

Have everything needed. Compiling final report.
Directory listing: scenes are numbered 01–68, filenames as listed; scenes 07–11 DO exist in redacted/draft/book-01/scenes/ (07-can-you-actually-fight.md through 11-reports.md) — the prompt's assumption that they don't was wrong.
"Nine steadings" — scene 46 unpublished (46-a-list-of-houses.md unpublished, line 23):
redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose
No full name-list given here.

(Also recapped in scene 61 unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose
3. "Leakage" counts: No hits anywhere in scenes 25–62 for "leakage." One unrelated "leak" hit (a roof leak) in scene 16 (predates range). Nothing about water/flood/magic leakage counts found.

9. "Seal of the Loom" cooldown: No mentions in scenes 25–62. Only appears in scene 03 ("[Seal of the Loom]," said Peri Millbrook.) — before the 25–62 range — and extensively in notes/canon/system.md, world/timeline.md (cooldown ends Day 30), characters/peri.md. Nothing tracking elapsed days toward cooldown inside 25–62.
10. Dates in scenes 55–62:
