# Earned Test - Chapter 18

id: earned_test | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_18.md`

- `BUILT — "Now the exactness bothered her more than a mistake would have." — foundation trace: Ch03 scarf loan plants the object; Ch07/Ch08 establish Theo's dangerous accurate looking; Ch17 reframes his accuracy as asymmetrical knowledge; Ch18 physically finds the scarf's Week 6 orange fleck before the line lands.`
- `BUILT — "There were no more next Tuesdays." — foundation trace: Ch03-Ch16 establish Tuesdays as class/community spine; Ch17 makes June refuse Week 7; Ch18 shows the return cannot wait for class.`
- `BUILT — "I don't know about Tuesday." — foundation trace: Ch17 `"No chair"` refusal, Ch18 boxed catalogs/post-office plan, Mara's dish invitation; the line is proportionate and unresolved.`
- `BUILT — "Pinned up, they could become another thing in a window." — foundation trace: Ch13-Ch14 flyer/photo pipeline; Ch18 laundromat photos and Sonia's crooked flyer; five studies exist before the fear lands.`
- `BUILT — "Wet spackle sat white beside the brighter paint." — foundation trace: line 5 nail holes and Ch09/15 New York material scaffold; the close scales down to one hole, not a stay decision.`

Chapter verdict: `EARNED`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
