# Shared-Vocabulary Ban Conformance - Chapter 12

## Checked Families

- Reading-guide bans: no breath-catching, flips/flutters, air-shift/tension labels, smirk/chuckle/a beat, beauty-unawareness, mirror epiphany, weather-as-emotion, `load-bearing`.
- Dialogue diagnosis: no comments on phrasing, rhythm, delivery, carefulness, rehearsed quality, or word choice.
- Ch11 retired joke families: no `Not symbolically`, `not a personality`, `cargo`, `principle of the dollar`, or `That's the whole ___` dialogue template.
- Ch06-10 voice-check caps: no `the way you/people` recognitional simile; no refusal-to-conclude variants.

## Evidence

Mechanical gate: PASS open=0. Targeted `rg` sweep found only harmless dialogue `Primer, then two` and final process phrase `the whole memory`.

## Verdict

PASS.
