# Counter-Strip Audit - Chapter 12

## Question

Did repairs overcorrect the Claude draft into flat compliance, removing charge or specificity?

## Criterion Verdicts

- Emotional charge preserved: PASS. Theo still gives the vulnerable childhood drawing memory; June still gives the erased-wall memory.
- Comedy preserved: PASS. The two-index-cards table, undrunk water, and possible easel arrangement remain.
- Specific images preserved: PASS. Airshaft, clothespins, chicken-thigh ghost, outlet plate, Decorator's White, and salmon primer stage remain.
- Overcorrection risk: PASS. Removed blockers did not strip the memory exchange's texture.

## Verdict

PASS.
