# Unresolved-Threads Protection Audit - Chapter 09

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: fake relationship public lie - strongest resolution-candidate moment: "She thought of the rack at Marchetti Rooms: her portrait of Theo... and his of her in a folder somewhere..." (line 45). Why it is not resolution: it deepens residue from Week 3 without exposing the lie or bringing Theo on-page.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: Theo's nephew identity - strongest resolution-candidate moment: no direct Theo/Odile relationship clue appears. Why it is not resolution: Theo is present only as the off-rack panel memory; no family language or catalog clue.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: Odile knew all along - strongest resolution-candidate moment: none; Odile is absent. Why it is not resolution: the worksite is outside Marchetti Rooms and does not touch Odile's knowledge.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: June's New York decision - strongest resolution-candidate moment: "New York had... a corner in a Ridgewood studio and six weeks of armory wages. Philadelphia had a set of keys..." (line 101). Why it is not resolution: it shifts the problem from abstract to material; the closing action is no-answer ("typed nothing and backed out," line 135).

NOT-TOUCHED - thread: Theo's art-making.

NOT-TOUCHED - thread: `After Class` subject agreement.

QUICK-TEST: 1 of 5 conflicts introduced in this chapter were resolved within their own scene - verdict: JOGGING. Resolved: wall readiness problem introduced by "Walk-through at four" (line 13) and resolved by "It's perfect... send me the hours tonight" (line 125). Unresolved: June's private making; Nia/Philadelphia; Asha/New York; Asha's own Philly want.

Chapter verdict: THREADS-SAFE.

REVISION ORDERS: None.
