# Convenient-Invention Fact-Check - Chapter 17

id: convenient_invention | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_17.md`

Post-edit diff checked against raw Claude draft and canon:

- `CLEAR — repairs did not invent facts` — mechanical, Dialogue Doctor, Comedy Doctor, Narrator-Publicist, and Plain-Translation edits changed wording/formatting/register only; they did not alter who Eileen is, what Theo knew, the catalog count, or June's decision.
- `CLEAR — reveal mechanism established` — Chapter 16 supplied the catalogs and slip; Chapter 17 does not invent a new document or clue source.
- `CLEAR — family relation matches canon` — Eileen is Odile's sister and Theo's mother; Theo is Odile's nephew.
- `CLEAR — Theo's "job is real" defense is canon-compatible` — he has always been staff/gallery day-to-day, with hidden family relation.
- `CLEAR — no new offer facts` — Nia/December 4 are referenced only from existing tracker state.
- `CLEAR — no invented public consequence yet` — June says she will not attend; no cohort/Police/Tasker/gallery fallout is imported prematurely.

Chapter verdict: `NO-CONVENIENT-INVENTION`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
