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/17-lid-up-the-whole-way.md, read after scenes 01–16 in the same directory (Day 6, 08:20; the rider; the box; the handful; the ten o'clock missed).
redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose Also chapters/005-the-sample.md, the groundwork this restages. Note: the phrase "Late (4 min) Monday" — check whether canon has weekday names at all (the calendar ruling in system.md); flag if not.
Report FINDINGS ONLY — line quoted, canon file and line, what is wrong. No "clean" verdicts. Briefly and separately: canon the scene could use and does not. Do not edit. Do not commit. Your final message is the report.

1. Weekday name "Monday" — direct violation of an explicit standing ruling.
Scene 17, line 37: *Goodman Moss missed the ten o'clock entire. First in 11 yrs. Late (4 min) Monday.*

This is a change introduced in this scene: the source text it restages, chapters/005-the-sample.md line 37, reads Late (4 min) last week. — no weekday. Scene 17 has swapped in "Monday," creating a fresh canon breach that did not exist in the groundwork chapter it is restaging. This should be reverted to "last week" (or another functional phrase) rather than a weekday name.
2. Dob's wall entry structure doesn't match minor.md's documented form (pre-existing, inherited from ch. 005, but worth flagging since minor.md is newer than ch. 005 and was named as material to check against).
Scene 17 presents one merged wall entry: *Goodman Moss missed the ten o'clock entire. First in 11 yrs. Late (4 min) Monday.*
notes/canon/characters/minor.md, Dob's entry: describes these as two separate chalk entries made at different times — *Goodman Moss late (4 min). First in 11 yrs.* (Day 1, established ch. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted sentence: unpublished prose This discrepancy already exists in the accepted chapters/005-the-sample.md, so it isn't new to scene 17, but since the "Monday" edit already touches this exact line, it's a natural place to also reconcile the entry with minor.md's two-entry structure if this scene is going to diverge from ch. 005 anyway.
The scene is a near-verbatim restaging of chapters/005-the-sample.md (rider arrival at 08:20, the box, the letter, the hand-reading, the six-revealings null case, Sorrel teaching, Mrs. redacted sentence: unpublished prose redacted.md(the box letter's exact quoted text),notes/canon/characters/edwin.mdandsorrel.md(the study/long bench, Sorrel teaching "every wrist soft, Miss Millbrook's included, and did not hurry the biscuits" — exact match), andnotes/canon/world/geography.md` (Wystow "the better part of eighty miles beyond the bridge," consistent with the ~85-mile Working figure) — all consistent.
