# Chapter 24 Performance Check - Current Text

Trigger: `ruleset-three-part-cadence` WATCH=2 and final-coda risk.

PASS - no keynote cadence or applause-ending pattern found. Strongest candidate: the material stack `"a February problem, a Kessler-in-March problem, an eight-hundred-dollars-by-Thursday problem"` (L155). It is allowed because it tracks concrete costs and leads to literal cold, not applause.

PASS - no audience-facing thesis close. Final line L161 keeps train/wall/page/jar/money present.

PASS - no speechifying in Odile scene. Strongest candidate: L125, `"Two people who could both see..."`; it is one paragraph, resisted by June at L129, and not allowed to settle as wisdom.

Chapter verdict: `PERFORMANCE-CLEAR`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
