# Adversarial Register Audit - Chapter 06

- REGISTER-CLEAN - warm, precise, lightly comic. Evidence: `A man who did not want to run an evening should not arrive with a laminated plan`; comedy arises from Theo's route/control reflex.
- REGISTER-CLEAN - quiet stakes treated as enormous. Evidence: Ruth's practical question, `who can she tell who isn't you?`, lands as danger without melodrama.
- REGISTER-CLEAN - no sitcom banter treadmill. Strongest candidate: Ben/Priya's Suffolk exchange has comic rhythm, but it is anchored to their move-in pressure and does plot work.
- CLEAN - the overlap beat is inhabited rather than abstract. Evidence: Theo starts `"We met at the opening..."`; June interrupts with `"We don't live together"`; the consequence lands as `The route card came back against Theo's shirt.`
- CLEAN - Ruth's warning stays practical and forms-bound. Evidence: `The form I saw had your email on it. The payment line had the gallery. The class contact was you. Maybe there's another page.`

Chapter verdict: REGISTER-HOLDS.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
