# Counter-Strip Audit - Chapter 06

Purpose: check that synthesis repairs did not over-correct Claude's chapter into flat compliance.

- HELD - Theo's comic over-management remains. Evidence: `He had not laminated it. He was prepared to call that restraint.`
- HELD - Ruth's pressure remains sharp after caption cuts. Evidence: `who can she tell who isn't you?`; `Find her one. Not me.`
- HELD - June's agency remains active after mechanical repairs. Evidence: `I can answer that. We don't live together`; `Black. Separate.`
- HELD - cohort warmth remains. Evidence: Mara scarf inspection, Priya stool/clementine care, Sam sightline move, Luis level/floor correction.
- NOT OVERSTRIPPED - ending still carries image/action rather than procedural report. Evidence: `Halfway down, his thumb found the empty place on his shirt where the route card had been.`

Chapter verdict: COUNTER-STRIP-CLEAN.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
