# Adversarial Register Audit - Chapter 19

Verdict: REGISTER-HOLDS PENDING CLAUDE PLAIN TRANSLATION.

## Register Defenses

- Theo POV is audible through logistics failing: stools, jars, ground, label, rack, clean jar.
- Comedy is light and situation-based rather than banter-heavy.
- Emotional pressure is rendered through object placement, not explanatory interior monologue.
- Odile remains economical; no reveal speech.

## Register Risks Sent To Claude

- Opening setup may still over-index on competence if the easel/table staging reads as self-caption rather than behavior.
- `Nobody's going to ask what` / `You can't leave it half` may be too quotable if not sufficiently grounded by Luis.
- The final jar action may over-symbolize Theo's readiness if Plain Translation finds the object too neat.

REVISION ORDERS: none locally; defer final register disposition to `chapter_19.plain_translation.md`.
