# Seed/Payoff Audit — Chapter 20

id: seed_payoff | owner: codex | target: Chapters 16-20 cadence checkpoint

Ledger sweep:
- `S-CATALOG-01`: armed in Ch14, revealed/ruptured Ch17, carried through Ch18-Ch19; Ch20 advances object state by sending eight catalogs toward studio via Ruth/Sam without revealing Odile acknowledgment. Status: active/protected until Ch21.
- `S-OFFER-01`: planted Ch09 and formalized Ch15; Ch20 pays the yes/no deadline with an on-page no. Status: paid for June; Asha outcome remains open.
- `S-ASHA-REF-01`: planted through Asha's competence and Ch15 leads; Ch20 pays the recommendation-with-consent beat. Status: paid for June/Asha ethics; Nia/Asha outcome open.
- `S-BLUE-DISH`: planted Ch18 as Mara tether; Ch20 transforms from return errand to June's Tuesday re-entry promise. Status: paid into future commitment.
- `S-THEO-REPAIR`: Ch17 rupture/Ch19 empty chair; Ch20 protects the repair and keeps Theo ignorant of Tasker. Status: protected, due Ch21-Ch22.
- `S-NY-01` / `After Class`: Ch19 empty-side work remains active; Ch20 advances June's material path and study-on-wall, but no showcase/joint-piece payoff yet. Status: active.

Strongest missed-payoff candidate: catalog delivery is implied, not confirmed. This is acceptable because Ch21 needs catalog/Odile pressure; Ch20 only needed to remove the box from June's apartment without Theo rescue.

Chapter verdict: `LEDGER-HEALTHY`.

REVISION ORDERS: none. Forward obligation satisfied after audit: `output/thread_ledger.md` now marks Tasker answer paid, Asha referral open, blue dish due Tuesday, and New York follow-through / `FEB = coat` risk active.
