# Immediate Continuity Check - Chapter 17

id: continuity_check_immediate | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_17.md`

- `CONSISTENT — date/time` — Chapter 17 occurs Tuesday night after Week 6; `"ten-forty"` and Theo closing after class follow Chapter 16's evening.
- `CONSISTENT — catalog stack` — Chapter 16 sent June home with nine gray catalogs; Chapter 17 opens with `"nine gray catalogs"` and returns `"One of nine"`.
- `CONSISTENT — family fact` — Theo is Odile's nephew through Eileen Brennan; the acknowledgment says `"My sister, Eileen Brennan"` and `"Her son, Theo Brennan"`.
- `CONSISTENT — Theo's role` — he remains real staff, not impersonating: `"The job is real... there's a payroll service, I clock in"`.
- `CONSISTENT — June offer pressure` — `"Nia's thread"` and `"the fourth of December"` appear only as live pressure; no decision is made.
- `CONSISTENT — protected Odile reveal` — Odile's knowing is not revealed; June suspects only that Odile named the shelf: `"She thought, briefly, about the fact that Odile had named the shelf."`
- `CONSISTENT — object state` — Week 6 fear canvases remain hanging as a pair: `"two unvarnished canvases hung as a pair"`.

Chapter verdict: `CONTINUITY-CLEAR`.

TRACKER DISPOSITION: completed before commit in `continuity.md`, `thread_ledger.md`, `timeline.md`, `event_ripple_tracker.md`, `canon_sheet.md`, and `rolling_summaries/chapter_17.md` for the reveal, returned catalog state, eight outstanding catalogs, June absence from next Tuesday, and pair-canvas crisis.
