Canon consistency check on seven newly drafted scenes of the third draft of Book 1 of Autoroad: draft/book-01/scenes/56-the-wire-and-the-whips.md unpublished

Also read scenes 25–55 indraft/book-01/scenes/for continuity (not under review) — check every back-reference and date in 56–62 against what the earlier third-draft scenes actually say (the hay cut date, the harvest talk sheet, Tess's count, the twig line, the leakage counts given in scene 46 unpublished, the roster given in scene 45 unpublished, the number of days Edwin has been in the parish, the Seal's cooldown arithmetic: bound Day 1 with a 28-day cooldown). Do NOT read anything undernotes/sealed/.redacted sentence: unpublished prose Numbered, terse, no praise.

The consistency-check agent is running in the background — it's reading canon files, SCENES.md, scenes 25–55 for continuity, and scenes 56–62 under review, then producing the numbered report. I'll relay results once it completes.
⚙ background task finished — Agent "Canon consistency check on scenes 56-62" finished
(1) Hard contradictions
Scene 56 unpublished: Peri hits [Agent of Fate — Level 6.] and says "The Seal's a day shorter. Twenty-seven." This contradicts the pinned, multiply-audited canon (system.md) that the Day-1 Seal cast returns fixed at Day 30 regardless of subsequent leveling — confirmed independently by Peri's own Day-86 "fifty-six days" arithmetic in ch. 029 (computed from a still-Day-30 base after she's already level 26). Fix: cut the "Twenty-seven" line, or make explicit this only changes the base cooldown for a future cast, not the running one.
Scene 56 unpublished: The Weave answer on Mattie Ordish's field is placed on "the fourth day" of the containment (started Day 22) = Day 25/9 Harvestmonth, but this exact exchange is Established at ch. 013 as 8 Harvestmonth (Day 24). One-day mismatch. Fix: move to "the third day," or re-date the Established citation deliberately.
Scene 57 unpublished: "He had been in the parish three weeks" at Day 24 (8 Harvestmonth). Edwin arrived Day 9 (23 Cornmonth) → 15 days, not 21. Contradicts the Established Day-26 anchor ("seventeen days in the village," ch. 014), which is consistent with 15 at Day 24 but not with "three weeks." Fix: "a fortnight" or "sixteen days."
(2) Deferred questions / binding-list violations
[Holm Deep.] fire as a chain-crossing box at scene 59 unpublished; the draft has redacted unhook the chain and go in with no box shown at all — a missed binding item, not delivered.(3) Calendar errors — the two dating issues above (§1.2, §1.3); everything else checked (slate readings, leakage-count timing, muster-date arithmetic, stake dates) is exact.
(4) Sums/counts — leakage counts (scene 61 unpublished) match scene 46 unpublished exactly; roster (scene 61 unpublished) matches scene 45 unpublished word-for-word; hay-cut date (20 Weedmonth, scenes 57/58) is internally consistent; slate figures match dungeons.md. No mismatches found.
(5) New facts for backfill candidacy
