# Zoom-Out Audit — Chapter 20

id: zoom_out_audit | owner: codex | cadence: every-4-chapters | target: Chapter 20

Outline promise checked: compressed late map requires Ch20 June POV self-choice before confession, care-without-advice, Asha-first consent, Tasker refusal, New York path, and no Theo rescue logic.

Results:
- June POV and self-choice: held. The pre-call test explicitly excludes Theo as condition.
- Care-without-advice: held through Ruth/Sam logistics.
- Asha-first consent: held before Nia call.
- Tasker refusal: paid on page before noon Friday.
- New York path: accepted through Kessler/Dana/W-9/lease notice.
- Theo ignorance: held; Theo absent.
- Late-book pressure: preserved by February risk, catalog/Odile protection, and study-on-wall toward armory.

Sag/shape check: The chapter does not duplicate Ch15 offer-pressure because Ch15 assessed options and left the clock unresolved; Ch20 converts options into irreversible acts. The new chapter function is decision/action, not more weighing.

Strongest architecture risk: compressing Ch20 to one chapter makes the execution sequence dense. It survives because each action is a concrete consequence and because the chapter leaves multiple open pressures for Ch21-Ch24.

Verdict: `ZOOM-OUT-ON-TRACK`.

REVISION ORDERS: none. Forward note: Ch21 must now deliver Theo/Odile confrontation pressure, not another private arithmetic chapter.
