# Chapter 23 — Clarity Round 2 Optional O-4 Disposition

Accepted optional clarity tightening O-4 from `output/critiques/claude/chapter_23.clarity_pass_round2.md`.

- Finding: L119 named the seam as "the strip of primer" before the tape was lifted at L155/L161.
- Repair applied: changed L119 to "the track-light bar stopped at the taped seam."
- Reason: preserves the physical orientation of the two-vantage read while reserving the bare-primer reveal for the tape-removal beat.
- Verification: `bash scripts/quality_gate.sh output/chapters/chapter_23.md` passes `open=0`; snapshots saved before/after under `before_clarity_round2_o4_repair` and `after_clarity_round2_o4_repair`.
- Scope: no dialogue was touched; existing Dialogue Doctor, Comedy Doctor, Positive Prose, and Clarity findings remain applicable. The repair directly executes Claude's optional wording direction and removes the only proleptic seam-material risk.
