id: earned_test | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_16.md`

- `EARNED - Theo paints June's wrong fear first` - seed: Ch15 lease/offer pressure and known lease fact; chapter quote `"He started with what he knew: her lease ended"` and admits the wrongness on page.
- `EARNED - erased-wall fear conversion` - seed: Ch12/13 memory handoff; quote `"green stepped against orange"`, `"Decorator's White"`, `"outlet plate"`; June validates object ownership: `"You made it mine."`
- `EARNED - June's useful-hands/blank-ground canvas` - seed: Ch10 hands assignment and Theo blank station; quote `"one squaring a wall label"`, `"his own easel... primed white and bare"`.
- `EARNED - delayed confession` - seed: Theo's established logistics-as-avoidance; quote `*Odile's my aunt*` followed by `"I'll send you the layout."`

Chapter verdict: `EARNED`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
