You are a canon/consistency lens for the novel at redacted. Read CLAUDE.md first and obey it; do not read notes/sealed/.

Your material: draft/book-01/scenes/03-until-fulfilled.md, read after scenes 01 and 02 in the same directory (continuity with them matters: what is on the table, what has been said, the day and hour).

redacted sentence: unpublished prose unpublished redacted sentence: unpublished prose 001 — say whether any objected-to line or pattern from the groundwork is reproduced here), notes/reader-notes-rewrite.md, notes/theme.md, unpublished notes/premise.md (the hard rule on Edwin/Peri).

Report FINDINGS ONLY — scene, line quoted, canon file and line, what is wrong. No "clean" verdicts. Separately and briefly: canon this scene could use and does not. Do not edit. Do not commit. Your final message is the report.

FINDINGS

redacted sentence

Peri's stated reason for not arguing has drifted from the beat characters/peri.md marks Established/self-aware.
- Scene 03: "You argue well. That's the trouble. I'd lose. Not because you're right. Because you're better at it."
- characters/peri.md line 20–22 (Established, citing ch. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose 001)."*
- The original's phrasing put the reason in her own limitation ("I'm not clever"); the new line puts it entirely in Edwin's skill and explicitly denies it's about being right ("Not because you're right"). redacted sentence Worth a deliberate check that this is an intended characterization shift and not an incidental drift.
redacted sentence: unpublished prose
redacted sentence: unpublished prose You said you would decide."* / Edwin's first line to Peri: "If it's Upper Wold about the fourteenth, I haven't decided, and I've said so twice."
redacted sentence: unpublished prose 003) — a settled, recurring arrangement, not an item still pending "the fourteenth."
- This isn't a contradiction (nothing says there can't be a second, separate dispute between the same two parishes), but the scene doesn't establish what "the fourteenth" is for, and a reader/continuity-checker familiar with the established ford feud may reasonably expect this to be the same dispute — which it can't quite be, since that one is already settled by a standing seasonal rule. This is worth a one-line clarification (what event falls on "the fourteenth") so it doesn't read as a soft contradiction of the ford resolution.

No other quoted fact, name, number, mechanic, box format, or inference in these three scenes contradicts canon. Specifically checked and consistent:

redacted (350), the "two hundred" swap for the flagged "ninety" line (system.md rule 3 — the original's "turned ninety" was exactly the banned age-as-seniority-marker; scene 01 fixes this correctly).
Mage-sight description and "twice in three hundred and fifty years" (world/magic.md).
[Seal of the Loom] box text, "twenty-nine more days," "cannot be unbound by the one who cast it or the one it's on" (system.md cooldown section, matches ch. 001 exactly).
The rulebook explanation for "she was quoting a rulebook" — correctly resolves DRMacIver's flagged "What rulebook?" using the newly-ruled church pamphlet (world/magic.md, "The rulebook").
The two Weave questions ("who is the best person to teach me magic" / "who can show me how to save the world") — verbatim match to the newly-ruled characters/peri.md "search rebuilt" section (commits 9301a8a, 335b171, fb637ee), including the Weave-gives-images-not-names structure (the hill) and the rumour/coach-travel origin of the "archmage" frame.
redacted sentence: unpublished prose
Geography (Appleford, the Drovers inn, ten parishes, the ford feud parties) and premise's Edwin/Peri hard rule — no violations.
Reader-notes-book-1's flagged "Fate magic. She was wearing fate magic." fragment-echo pattern and the "rule about anger and fright... it wasn't fright" confusing line are both corrected in this draft, not reproduced.

CANON THIS SCENE COULD USE AND DOES NOT

redacted sentence: unpublished prose Not required this early (the ruling only asks the reader reconstruct it "by the end of the book"), but the famine fact (characters/edwin.md, world/green-revolution.md) is available and unused if a later scene in this movement wants to seed it early.
