# Chapter 24 Unresolved-Threads Protection Audit - Current Text

PAID - thread: Odile knew from night one - evidence: Sept 24 sheet at L115 and June's `"You knew. Night one"` at L119. This is intended final reveal, not premature closure.

PAID/PARTIAL-BY-DESIGN - thread: public fake-couple truth - evidence: Ruth's `"You didn't start this together"` at L51 and June's `"No. We didn't"` at L55. The room gets only the visible truth; no public confession is added.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: public nephew identity - strongest resolution-candidate: Odile's `"He's my--"` at L121. It is not resolved because she stops and restates `"He was handy"`.

PAID - thread: portrait visibility consent - evidence: June turns the study herself at L97, sees it at L99-L101, turns it back at L103, and tells Theo to keep it at L143.

PAID - thread: blue dish / Mara-Luis belonging - evidence: Mara fills it at L39 and Luis places it at L41-L43.

PAID/OPEN-AS-FUTURE-LIFE - thread: June's New York material path - evidence: $800 due and cold sweater at L155 and L161. The book does not need to show Dec 10 payment on-page; the cost remains live, not forgotten.

QUICK-TEST: 5 of 7 scene conflicts resolve inside the chapter because this is the final coda. Verdict: `FINAL-CHAPTER-RESOLUTION-APPROPRIATE`. The remaining open facts are future-life continuations, not missing plot payoffs.

Chapter verdict: `THREADS-SAFE`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
