# Dialogue Doctor - Chapter 11 - Round: Reader-Directive Sweep (2026-07-24)

Scope: delta audit plus chapter-level re-check. This round's change is narration-only: the "She was choosing to call that efficiency." tail cut. No dialogue changed. Prior full round preserved on disk.

Chapter-level re-verification:
- 1: CLEAN - Dom's counter literalism ("It's the principle of the dollar."), Sam's carry declaratives ("Sam Rivera. I carry."), Ruth's compression ("Abbreviate."), Ben's read-aloud anxiety, Priya's occupancy pragmatism: five registers in one scene, none interchangeable.
- 2: CLEAN - the form-filling run is bureaucratic comedy with distinct per-beat content; bracketed by the hospital story's long turns.
- 3: CLEAN - June's interiority present at the load-bearing moments ("Occupant was an ugly word for a person carrying groceries up four flights.").
- 4: CLEAN - Ruth's "If the ticket had said PARK, who picks up for you?" is a real question June dodges, and the dodge is registered by both parties.
- 5/6/7: CLEAN - attribution and trade terms carried.
- FAKE-SHARP: CLEAN - counter-candidates "It's twelve blocks of Saturday." (June, concrete risk logic) and "That was my answer for about twenty years." (Ruth, autobiography not aphorism) survive.
- INTERIORITY-OVERCORRECTION: CLEAN.

Tail-strip verification: efficiency button cut; kept "June respected the system: accurate, cheap, removable." (does Dom's-shop work) and the carrying-nothing ender. Density within cap.

OVERALL: CLEAN
