# Chapter 02 Thought-Development Repair Memo

Source audit: `output/critiques/claude/chapter_02.thought_development.md`

## Blocking Finding Accepted

1. Line 7 used a choppy two-sentence pattern where a connected sentence would do cleaner thought work.
   - Repair: merged into one sentence with a colon: "She had ruled a line under the whole list: the line she drew under invoices she did not intend to discuss."

## Continuity Wrinkle Accepted

The audit noted a possible contradiction between "The linen came Tuesday" on opening night and the later October 1 cotton/linen supplier error. The early line now reads "The card stock came Tuesday," preserving the object in Odile's hands and leaving the October 1 linen problem intact.

## Disposition

Finding and continuity wrinkle were repaired in `output/chapters/chapter_02.md`. Mechanical gate after repair: PASS, open=0, allowlisted=0, WATCH=60.
