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

Scope: delta audit plus chapter-level re-check after three Odile-warmth edits: squares Ben's replacement panel under the clips; "He is very present." appended to the weight verdict on Mara's Luis; "That is the hard part." prepended to the mouth/cheek verdict at June's panel. No other text changed this round. Prior full round preserved on disk.

Odile-delta verification against her updated card (dry humor that includes; the diagnosis is the point, never the sting):
- "Two seconds is looking. Again." now rides with the squaring action - discipline plus courtesy in one beat; no dialogue change; CLEAN.
- "The paint has weight. You used all of it. He is very present." - the addition converts a deadpan verdict into praise Mara can keep; speakable; three short sentences, within her modal mass; CLEAN.
- "You saw the mouth. That is the hard part. The cheek is mud. Scrape it." - praise now audibly precedes the correction; matches the card's rare-but-audible praise; CLEAN.

Chapter-level re-verification:
- 1/7: CLEAN - kraft-paper structure keeps speakers separated and attributed by position.
- 2/5: CLEAN - the blind exchanges ("How bad is it over there?" run) remain four varied beats; sparseness is the assignment's architecture, not performed starkness.
- 3: CLEAN - June's interiority carries the panel work continuously.
- FAKE-SHARP: CLEAN - counter-candidates "A funeral of a palette." (painterly, speakable as thought) and "It's the one I had." (plain confession) survive.
- INTERIORITY-OVERCORRECTION: CLEAN.

OVERALL: CLEAN
