# Convenient-Invention Fact Check - Chapter 06

Scope: post-synthesis chapter file vs. Claude raw draft, canon, timeline, and chapter card.

- CLEAN - new gallery spaces are fictional/local texture, not plot infrastructure requiring later payoff. Evidence: `basement on Orchard`, `Vestibule`, and the frame-shop window support the route walk only.
- CLEAN - Suffolk apartment/Broker text is not an invented June/Theo solution; it starts Priya/Ben's planned rent-math thread.
- CLEAN - CORTADO YES bodega is scene texture and coffee-counter pressure, not a new recurring institution.
- CLEAN - no new facts contradict existing object state. June still has scarf; Theo still uses route card/keys rather than new talismans.
- CLEAN - no repair introduced a new exit route for June. The point is that Theo cannot yet name one.

Strongest counter-candidate: `He had access to Odile that had never been printed on a contact sheet` adds texture to Theo/Odile access. It is not a new fact; it restates existing hidden asymmetry without naming the protected relation.

Chapter verdict: NO-CONVENIENT-INVENTION.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
