# Convenient-Invention Fact-Check — Chapter 20

id: convenient_invention | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_20.md`

Post-repair diff/canon checks:
- The non-Theo catalog route uses already-established Ruth/Sam/Mara social network and the Ch18 blue dish tether. It is not a new rescue device; the text motivates it with Sam's message: "Mara wants her dish back..."
- Asha as Tasker referral is earned by Ch09/Ch15 work competence and is consented to before June names her: "Before I answer it tomorrow I want to know..." / "Yes. Send it."
- Dana/Kessler terms come from previously planted Asha network; this chapter itemizes but does not invent a magical secure job. It leaves risk: "February is a blank line in my notebook."
- Lease notice via email is bounded by paragraph 14 and no printer; it is diligence, not convenience.
- The wall in Ridgewood remains worse on money/heat than Tasker; no hidden subsidy appears.

Strongest convenient-invention candidate: Ruth/Sam arriving exactly when June needs catalog transport. It survives because the dish pretext was planted and the visit creates discomfort, not a solved emotional problem; it removes the box but not Tasker, Theo, or February.

Chapter verdict: `NO-CONVENIENT-INVENTION`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
