Done. Written to `output/critiques/claude/chapter_24.characters_wrong.md`.

Two transparency notes before the document, since I overwrote an artifact I didn't create: (1) the path already held a **Round-1** audit from an earlier run that concluded `TOO-COMPETENT (2 findings)` — June **and** Theo; (2) my verdict is **1 finding**, and the entire divergence is Theo. The chapter was revised ~43s *after* that prior audit finished (mtimes) to implement its own Order 2 — adding the portfolio-strap relapse at line 163 — so on the **current** text Theo's correction is now demonstrably incomplete and he passes. I audited the current text and flag exactly where a reader could disagree.

Here is the completed audit document:

# Chapter 24 — Let-Characters-Be-Wrong / Competence-Default Audit

id: characters_wrong | owner: claude | tier: risk
chapter: output/chapters/chapter_24.md ("First Snow" — POV June; showcase coda / final chapter)
inputs: chapter_24.md; style_and_voice.md {what_they_get_wrong} fields (June, Theo, Odile, Mara, Luis, Priya, Ben, Ruth, Sam); READING_GUIDE.md; npc_goals.md; chapter_cards.md CARD-24
card: CHAPTER CARD - 24 (showcase coda; sanctioned — artifact-borne reveal, Odile reveal without oracle monologue, live cohort payoffs, first snow, "June final voice plain"; earned-stay thesis per READING_GUIDE §8)

**Stance and declared bias.** This is the finale, the register most hospitable to the competence default: every thread pays off, everyone gets a warm exit, and clean, insightful behavior will read as good writing. Here that is the primary evidence of failure, and I read against it. I fight a second bias in the opposite direction so I do not manufacture findings: the book has spent 23 chapters teaching June to "say it straight" (READING_GUIDE §2) and the earned-stay test (§8) requires her final choice to be legible and self-owned, so I separate *earned plainness of speech* (allowed — a grown character may talk straight) from *wound-immunity under maximal pressure* (a finding — a grown character does not stop having her specific wound). A pass is not awarded without quoted per-criterion evidence and the strongest counter-candidate I could find.

**Calibration boundary applied before ruling.** Several cohort beats are explicitly sanctioned as competent by CARD-24 and the npc_goals Ch24 lines: Luis "closes through placement, not speech," Sam "room-making … no Sam speech," Ruth "one sharp line only; no privacy lecture," Ben "ordinary showcase texture … no additional planning joke," Mara "her arc closes by not over-translating him," Priya "ordinary care, not a lease-thread reprise." Per the audit's calibration ("Genuinely competent beats … are not findings unless the whole chapter is frictionless"), I do not convert sanctioned cohort competence into findings; the chapter is not frictionless (the dish, the coffee, the minimization all bite), so those passes hold on their merits. This audit reflects the current chapter text, in which Theo's usefulness reflex leaks a second time into his body at the goodbye (ln 163, the portfolio strap) — an element that materially changes his ruling from what an earlier draft would have earned.

## Section 1 — Competence-default sweep

`WRONGNESS-PRESENT — instances:`

- **Priya**, "Priya brought June a coffee she hadn't asked for, caught herself doing it, and set it down anyway. 'You want that,' she said." (ln 46) — **blind spot** (care-as-control): imposes unasked care and tells June what June wants; residue "It had too much milk."
- **Mara**, "She started to route it. 'Luis, put it over by the--'" (ln 39) — **saying the wrong thing / blind spot**: the over-routing-of-Luis reflex fires; externally stopped.
- **Odile**, "I ran a class." (ln 127) — **defensiveness (provoked) + blind spot**: prices eight weeks of engineering as a non-event, deflecting June's "You ran all of it to see if we would" (ln 125).
- **Odile**, "He was handy. He's my-- … He was handy." (ln 123) — **blind spot**: reduces Theo to a tool twice; undervalues the cost of what she did to him.
- **Theo**, "he went to top off a water jar that didn't need it" (ln 29); "the water jar he still hadn't needed to fill" (ln 61) — **blind spot**: displaced usefulness reflex, uncaught, twice.
- **Theo**, "I'm going to walk you to the--" (ln 159) → "His hand had already started toward the portfolio strap. He saw it a half-second after she did" (ln 163) — **blind spot**: indispensability reflex leaks twice, the second time into his body after he has renounced it aloud.
- **Sam**, "You've got a lean in the wall up here … I've got a level in the car. Two minutes." (ln 27) — **misunderstanding**: reads the intentional lean as an installer's error.
- **Mara**, "'Bring it Tuesday,' she said, and remembered there were no more Tuesdays" (ln 79) — **saying the wrong thing**, self-caught.
- **June**, "For a second, pity was the easier word." (ln 101) — **misunderstanding** (of Theo's intent), self-corrected inside the sentence.

The sweep passes on wrongness existing. But the pattern matters more than the count, and the pattern tilts competent:

1. **Two of the four behaviors are effectively absent at the emotional center.** There is no sustained interpersonal **misunderstanding between the principals**: June, Theo, and Odile read each other flawlessly the entire chapter — Theo clocks that Ruth read the label ("I know. From the label. He'd have clocked it from across the room; he read a person reading a picture the same as she did," ln 65); June takes the ledger apart on sight ("the pairing was in Odile's hand, and it predated the pairing … came apart plain," ln 119); each anticipates the other's unsaid sentence and is right every time (Theo "let the first answer go past," ln 69; June "watched him not reaching for" it, ln 143). And there is no **unprovoked defensiveness** from anyone — Odile's single defensive move (ln 127) is a direct answer to a direct accusation.
2. **Most instances are neutralized in the beat they appear.** Self-caught: Priya's coffee (ln 46), Mara's Tuesday slip (ln 79), June's pity feint (ln 101), Theo's verbal walk-you (ln 159). A professional's misread resolved in one line: Sam's lean ("It's meant to lean," ln 29; "Huh," ln 31). Once the self-catches are removed, the live interpersonal wrongness in the whole chapter reduces to three items: Mara's routing (physically stopped by Luis), Odile's minimization (corrected by June), and Theo's strap (caught by June before himself).
3. **The wrongness lives in the furniture, not the emotional center.** The chapter's live flaws attach to a serving dish (Mara/Luis), a filed page (Odile), and a water jar (Theo). The two people whose specific wounds should be under the greatest pressure of the entire book — June, standing inside the two moments she is most *seen* (the hidden study) and most *handled* (the night-one reveal); Theo, running his indispensability at a cold, heavy-laden goodbye — either run clean or self-correct. That distribution — flaws exiled to the periphery, the protagonists rendered lucid — is the competence default's signature even where isolated micro-flaws survive.

Three most suspiciously well-adjusted exchanges (quoted as counter-evidence of the tilt, per stance, even under a WRONGNESS-PRESENT ruling):

1. **Urn debrief (lns 67–75):** "How's it feel to get caught." / "They know we didn't start clean … Nobody needs the rest." / "I wanted to. I had the paragraph loaded. … It's exhausting. I don't know how you've done it your entire life." / "Practice. … I say mine to myself later. Worse for you, better for the party." — two people diagnosing their own and each other's flaws with total fluency and zero misfire; the confession-of-flaw *is* the register.
2. **Reveal close (ln 131):** "So June did the thing Odile couldn't. 'It wasn't yours to run,' she said. 'It worked, and I got a life out of it, and it still wasn't yours to run. I'd have made most of the same choices. They'd have been mine.'" — the protagonist out-articulating the mentor in balanced parallel syntax, the narration ranking her the most capable person in the room.
3. **Portrait (lns 99–103):** "He'd painted her not knowing she was seen. … He had looked at her like this, carefully, at value … while he was deciding for her what she could stand to know." — the most exposed private moment in the book, metabolized into a calm, correct interpretation.

## Section 2 — Per major character

**June Park** — gets-wrong field: *"mistakes being understood for being pitied; assumes choosing herself requires choosing alone."*

- **Clause 1 ("understood → pitied") — verdict: TRIGGER-MISSED. FINDING.** The chapter is a sustained battery of this exact trigger, and the field fires at none of it.
  - *Trigger — the hidden week-three study (lns 99–105).* She finds a portrait he made of her "not knowing she was seen," faced to the brick because "he thought that was all she could stand: herself small, doing cleanup, not looking back" (ln 101). Being-seen-unaware *plus* being-protected-as-fragile is the precise stimulus her field converts into *he pitied what he saw* — and the text stages the misread, then defeats it inside three sentences: "For a second, pity was the easier word. … Her hand tightened on the stretcher bar. Then she looked at the half-step again. The shoulder came forward because he had taken the harder edge, not the kinder one." (ln 101). Response was clean insight: she re-reads the brushwork correctly and lands on a fair, regulated ache — "That was the ache … he had looked at her like this, carefully, at value" (ln 103) — then self-manages flawlessly: "She looked at it as long as she wanted. A while. Then she turned it back to face the brick" (ln 105).
  - *Trigger — the night-one reveal (lns 115–133).* Being told she was placed, paired, and assigned into being for eight weeks — "a machine built to make two strangers actually look at each other" (ln 125) — is the maximal *were-you-managing-me-because-I-couldn't* provocation for a woman who mistakes being handled for being pitied. Response was clean insight and balanced moral accounting: "It wasn't yours to run. … I'd have made most of the same choices. They'd have been mine." (ln 131). No flare of *I was your experiment / your charity / your project* precedes the fairness; the narration certifies the composure as superiority — "So June did the thing Odile couldn't" (ln 131).
  - *Trigger — care she did not ask for:* Priya's unasked coffee (ln 46) and Mara's hug "hard and practical … before it could become a scene" (ln 79), both received without a flicker of the being-handled reading.
  - Why "earned growth" does not rescue this: the book has earned June's *plain speech*, and her straight final voice is sanctioned by CARD-24. It has not earned June's *immunity to her own wound* at the two highest-pressure sites in the novel for that wound. Growth explains her being able to name the wrong plainly; it does not explain the wound failing to move at all. The field needed to flicker once as a misread that *costs* — a self-protective turn another beat has to absorb — before the earned clarity reasserts. The "For a second" (ln 101) is the costume: it is announced and overwritten in the same breath, private, instant, absorbed by no one.
- **Clause 2 ("choosing herself requires choosing alone") — verdict: NO-TRIGGER, and correctly so.** The finale deliberately *heals* this clause: she carries her own load ("Her own water, her own work, her own cold walk to her own train," ln 167), keeps the kiss "hers to give and hers to end" (ln 169), and still is not alone. The earned-stay test (§8) requires exactly this — chosen for herself, not alone. Firing this clause here would break the book's thesis. The audit affirms leaving it unfired; the Clause-1 finding must not be executed by disturbing Clause 2.

Strongest counter-candidate weighed before ruling TRIGGER-MISSED: "She would not describe the shoulder out of the dark or the quarter of her face he had left alone" (ln 107) — June withholding is her nearest thing to self-protection on the page. Rejected as a rescue: it is framed wholly as sovereign choice ("the seeing was what was hers to do with it," ln 105), not as the wound; it costs nothing and no one absorbs it. It is agency, not the flaw operating.

**Theo Brennan** — gets-wrong field: *"believes delay is kindness; believes being indispensable is the same as being loved."*

- **Verdict: OPERATED (passes — the chapter's weakest pass).** The indispensability reflex genuinely fires, uncaught, more than once, and at the goodbye it wins a small round he does not get to narrate away.
  - Operating, uncaught, non-interpersonal: "he went to top off a water jar that didn't need it" (ln 29); "the water jar he still hadn't needed to fill" (ln 61). Busywork, but the compulsion executes rather than being intercepted at the impulse.
  - Operating, interpersonal, with cost — the goodbye (lns 159–167): the reflex fires verbally ("I'm going to walk you to the--"), is caught and over-corrected ("'To the corner,' he said instead … 'That's it. I'm not carrying anything.'"), and then — one line after he has renounced it — leaks into his body against his own stated cure: "His hand had already started toward the portfolio strap. He saw it a half-second after she did and let it drop open at his side." (ln 163). He is not the master of his own reflex; June catches it first, and June must reclaim her own load in answer: "She shifted the jar to her other hand and hooked the portfolio into the crook of the same arm. Her own water, her own work, her own cold walk to her own train." (ln 167). The cure visibly does not hold at the body level, and the imbalance — June still runs point on his reflexes — is left standing, not tidied. This is the "practiced and incomplete" correction the field requires, and it clears the (finale-calibrated) friction bar: another character absorbs it. Earlier the same cost is priced explicitly — "she watched it cost him and watched him pay it" (ln 147).
- Counter-case, weighed and named so an editor can escalate if they weight it differently: every one of Theo's reflex-firings is contained — the jar by narration, the paragraph by silence ("It's exhausting," ln 73), the walk-you mid-sentence, the strap in a half-second, the near-word "he … drank the idea instead" (ln 147) — and none of it derails or harms anything; the flaw survives partly as admirable texture ("she liked him so much in that second it was faintly annoying," ln 147). The verbal walk-you, taken alone, is a clean costume. What keeps Theo off a finding is specifically the strap (ln 163): a bodily relapse that contradicts his just-spoken renouncement and is caught by June, not him. Remove that line and this becomes a second finding; on the current text it is a genuine, if gentle, incompleteness. Guard it (see Watch items).

**Odile Marchetti** — gets-wrong field: *"assumes the manipulation she can survive is manipulation others can forgive quickly."*

- **Verdict: OPERATED (passes).** The prompt's requirement — "remain wrong, manipulative, and partial even when she gives June proof" — is met, shown with evidence rather than asserted.
  - Manipulative, admitted without apology: "So I wrote in the other half" (ln 123); "I wanted to know what you'd make if I made you. I'm retiring, not dead." (ln 127); narration confirms "There it was, and no apology after it" (ln 129).
  - The field operates as *minimization*: she prices eight weeks of engineering as a non-event — "I ran a class. You can decide I ran it for you, if it helps. I didn't." (ln 127) — against June's "You ran all of it to see if we would" (ln 125). She treats a violation as needing no forgiveness because, to her, it was survivable and therefore no wrong. That is the field's dead center — manipulation she can survive → nothing others need to forgive — and it forces June to assert the violation over her dismissal.
  - Partial and cold about the human cost: reduces Theo to "handy" twice and stops before "nephew" ("she declined to say it," ln 123); pays the account in objects not words ("she had put the proof on a page instead of in a sentence," ln 129); marks the drawer with "one finger … not opening it, only marking it" (ln 139) rather than saying anything.
- Weakest spot, weighed and left standing: the concession "'No,' she agreed. 'It wasn't.'" (ln 133) risks curing her into accountability. It survives because the narration itself prices the payment as short — "two words with nothing after them … more than Odile gave most people and less than the thing was worth" (ln 133) — and she reverts to cold logistics immediately ("Give them the drawings and the wine and none of my time," ln 139). She does not become the warm, apologetic, fully-accountable mentor the prompt warns against. Guardrail check: nothing she says asserts that "couple" is elastic or otherwise breaks the pre-reveal rule; the disclosure is the night-one page, not a thesis about categories.

**Mara Valdez** — gets-wrong field: *"thinks smoothing is always kindness."*

- **Verdict: OPERATED — the chapter's cleanest interpersonal wrongness.** The routing/translating reflex fires live: "She started to route it. 'Luis, put it over by the--'" (ln 39), and Luis physically preempts her. She pays for it on the page: "Mara had already opened her mouth. She closed it and let the dish sit there, exactly where Luis had wanted it" (ln 43) — a swallowed instinct, the cost visible, the stop external. Honest caveat: CARD-24/npc_goals frame this as her arc *closing* ("not over-translating him"), so the flaw fires only to resolve into sanctioned growth. It still counts as OPERATED because the reflex genuinely fires first and is stopped from outside at a cost to her, rather than being self-insighted away.

**Luis Valdez** — gets-wrong field: *"assumes silence communicates more than it does."*

- **Verdict: NO-TRIGGER (acceptable, sanctioned).** His near-wordless placement communicates perfectly — "He'd put the food where the traffic was and told the room he'd done it … 'There'" (ln 43) — so his over-trust in silence never *under*-communicates; nothing engages the flaw's failure mode. The dish placement is craft competence (a professional doing his job well), not the emotional-silence misfire the field governs, and CARD-24 wants exactly this ("placement, not speech … Do not add another verdict line"). Noted for the record, per the prompt's cohort concern: he reads as fully competent, one of the chapter's several wise cohort members — but the calibration protects it and Mara/Priya carry the live cohort wrongness that keeps the cohort from reading as uniformly wise.

**Priya Nair** — gets-wrong field: *"care becomes control when she does not ask first."*

- **Verdict: OPERATED (thin, acceptable — not a finding).** The trigger occurs and the flaw operates: she imposes unasked care and dictates the want — "a coffee she hadn't asked for, caught herself doing it, and set it down anyway. 'You want that,'" (ln 46) — and it leaves a real residue rather than resolving to nothing: "It had too much milk." The imposed care is literally not what June would have chosen, and June is stuck with it. It is self-caught and low-cost, and npc_goals sanctions it as "ordinary care," so it is not a finding; but it is genuine operation (control without asking, with a residue), which is why it is not scored as a costume.

**Ben Adler** — gets-wrong field: *"assumes certainty can be built before decision."*

- **Verdict: NO-TRIGGER (acceptable, sanctioned).** No plan-vs-decision situation engages him; he is showcase texture (the flyer; "left it a half-degree off level on purpose," ln 47), with one residual fossil of the flaw — the flyer photo "shot from the door end weeks before any of them had finished a thing" (ln 9), certainty manufactured before the content existed. CARD-24 wants "ordinary showcase texture … no additional planning joke," and his arc was spent in Ch23. Acceptable, though it adds to the "everyone healed" surface: his and Priya's exit is narrated as cured — "looked like April was a real place they intended to walk into on their own feet" (ln 81).

**Ruth Kim** — gets-wrong field: *"lets people hide too long because she respects the need to be unnamed."*

- **Verdict: NO-TRIGGER (acceptable).** Her one live line reads the truth exactly far enough and stops — "You didn't start this together" (ln 51); "It's the best thing on the wall" (ln 57); tells no one. Her *flaw* (letting hiding continue to the point of harm) has no live trigger here, because there is no longer any harm for the silence to enable: the couple is real, the secret is spent, the class is ending. Restraint costs nothing and enables nothing, so it is grace, not the flaw firing. CARD-24: "one line, no privacy lecture." Sanctioned — with the same recorded caveat as Luis: she is rendered with frictionless perceptiveness, which is the competence default's most seductive form even where the ruling is correct.

**Sam Rivera** — gets-wrong field: *"can push for naming before the named person is ready."*

- **Verdict: NO-TRIGGER (acceptable).** He never confronts a naming decision to overrun: he clocks the crooked corner (an installer's reflex, ln 27), takes "It's meant to lean," files it "Huh," and makes room ("He made literal room, stepping back and to the side," ln 31; "drifted off to make room somewhere else," ln 49). The relationship-secret is Ruth's to clock, not his, so his push-for-naming flaw is never engaged. CARD-24: room-making, no speech. Sanctioned.

*(Nia Torres and Asha Ibrahim are referenced but off-page in Ch24 — NO-TRIGGER, not present.)*

## Section 3 — Friction yield

- **Mara**, routing reflex (lns 39–43): **FRICTION (real).** "She closed it and let the dish sit there, exactly where Luis had wanted it." Costs her the instinct; the stop is external and public. The chapter's cleanest interpersonal price.
- **Theo**, strap relapse (lns 163–167): **FRICTION (gentle, real).** His body contradicts his renouncement — "His hand had already started toward the portfolio strap. He saw it a half-second after she did" — and June must reclaim her load ("Her own water, her own work, her own cold walk to her own train"). Cost: his self-mastery, absorbed by June, who stays a half-step ahead of him.
- **Odile**, "I ran a class" minimization (lns 127–133): **FRICTION (mild).** June must assert the violation against the dismissal ("It wasn't yours to run"), and Odile pays only "'No,' she agreed. 'It wasn't.'" — priced on the page as "less than the thing was worth."
- **Priya**, unasked coffee (ln 46): **FRICTION (thin).** Imposed care yields a coffee June did not choose — "It had too much milk" — and cannot refuse. Small residue, but a residue.
- **June**, pity feint at the study (ln 101): **COSTUMED** — announced then resolved in-beat: "For a second, pity was the easier word. … Then she looked at the half-step again." Costs nothing; absorbed by no one.
- **Theo**, verbal walk-you (ln 159): **COSTUMED** — announced then corrected in the same breath: "'I'm going to walk you to the--' … 'To the corner,' he said instead." (The strap the next line is what redeems the goodbye into real friction; the verbal turn alone is a costume.)
- **Theo**, water jar (lns 29, 61): live but **costless residual** — keeps him off a self-insighted ruling; derails nothing, absorbed by no one.
- **Odile**, "He was handy" (ln 123): wrongness present, **friction thin** — Theo is up front; the coldness lands on no one on the page and costs Odile nothing in the moment.
- **Sam**, lean misread (lns 27–31): **COSTUMED** — "It's meant to lean," resolved in one line; "Huh." A professional beat, correctly weightless.
- **Mara**, "Bring it Tuesday" (ln 79): **COSTUMED** — self-caught inside the sentence; warmth-floor texture.

Net: the live FRICTIONs (Mara's dish, Theo's strap, Odile's concession, Priya's coffee) are real but small and all sit in the cohort/mentor/goodbye register; the one wound-beat that carries the finale's emotional weight — June at the portrait and the reveal — delivers a TRIGGER-MISSED. The emotional center runs lucid; the friction is carried by a serving dish, a retracted hand, and a two-word concession.

## Chapter verdict

`TOO-COMPETENT (1 finding)`

Finding: **June — Clause-1 field ("mistakes being understood for being pitied") TRIGGER-MISSED** across the hidden study, the night-one reveal, and unasked care (Priya's coffee, Mara's hug). The wound never moves as a costing misread under the two highest-pressure sites in the book for that wound, and the narration certifies her composure as superiority ("So June did the thing Odile couldn't," ln 131). A single TRIGGER-MISSED bars WRONG-ENOUGH; June's is decisive on its own.

Theo is *not* a second finding on the current text: his indispensability reflex fires uncaught (the jar) and, at the goodbye, leaks bodily against his own renouncement and is caught by June, not him (ln 163) — an incomplete, practiced correction that costs him his self-mastery. This is the one place I most expect a careful reader to disagree; the ruling turns entirely on ln 163, and the counter-case (five contained reflexes rendered as lovable texture) is quoted in Section 2 so it can be escalated on judgment rather than re-derived.

**Watch items for any later pass (do not let a warmth edit create new findings):**
- Do not delete or soften Theo's strap relapse (ln 163) or let him catch it before June does; that line is the sole thing keeping his usefulness field OPERATED rather than COSTUMED.
- Do not warm Odile's "'No,' she agreed. 'It wasn't.'" (ln 133) or add an apology after it; the payment must stay priced short ("less than the thing was worth"), or Odile crosses from OPERATED into a finding.

## REVISION ORDERS

**Order 1 — June. Fire the "understood → pitied" clause once, as a costing misread, before the earned clarity lands.**
Field, verbatim: *"mistakes being understood for being pitied; assumes choosing herself requires choosing alone."* (Clause 1 only.)
Beat: the hidden week-three study (lns 99–105), with the night-one reveal (lns 125–133) as a secondary site.
As written, the two moments June is most seen and most handled produce only a one-second feint ("For a second, pity was the easier word," ln 101, overwritten inside the sentence) and balanced fairness ("I'd have made most of the same choices. They'd have been mine," ln 131), with the narration crowning the composure ("So June did the thing Odile couldn't," ln 131).
Make the wound *land*, not flicker: at the study, let June actually misread the hidden, unaware portrait as evidence he found her *pitiable* — herself "small, doing cleanup, not looking back" (ln 101) as a thing he decided she had to be shielded from — and let that misread hold long enough to *do* something before it is corrected: a colder, self-protective turn that complicates or delays her clean "the seeing was what was hers to do with it" (ln 105), or bleeds into what she says to Theo two beats later so he has to absorb it (she currently hands the panel back with a clean joke — "Paint another one where I'm facing the right way," ln 145; let the pity-misread put an edge on that gift that costs the exchange a beat). The cost is the point: the misread must sting the beat it sits in and be recovered *from* on the page, not skipped over by re-reading the brushwork correctly in three sentences.
Constraints: (a) Do not touch Clause 2 — the earned-stay ending (carrying her own water and work, ln 167; the kiss "hers to give and hers to end," ln 169) is sanctioned by §8 and must survive intact; the flare is internal to how June reads being seen, never a reason to choose alone. (b) Do not reopen the closed secret — the misread is June's private reading of the portrait, not a new rupture (CARD-24: no second rupture). (c) Do not soften the fix into a quirk: this is her central wound (she "treats desire as evidence against herself"; "mistakes being understood for being pitied"), not a tic — keep her final voice plain per CARD-24, but let the plainness arrive *through* the wound having moved, not over the top of a wound that stayed still.

`TOO-COMPETENT (1 finding)`
