# Chapter 03 Clarity Repair Memo

Source audit: `output/critiques/claude/chapter_03.clarity_pass.md`

## Findings Accepted

1. Studio seating map contradicted itself.
   - Repair: line 15 now places Theo at the second easel from the door, adjacent to June; line 123 now reads "Beside her" rather than "Two easels down."
2. Focalizer garden path at the high-load first drawing beat.
   - Repair: line 59 now says "looked at the page for June."
3. Maintenance note: the pencil-cup analogy looked like a callback to an unplanted object.
   - Repair: removed the pencil-cup clause; the charcoal gift remains as an unannounced care move.

## Disposition

All clarity findings were repaired. Mechanical gate after repair: PASS open=0. No new tonal issues found by Comedy Doctor round 2.
