# Chapter 12 Comedy Repair Memo

Source audit: `output/critiques/claude/chapter_12.comedy_doctor.md`

## Accepted Orders

1. Restored the Dom correction mechanism. June now says `Dom's shop has a form`; Theo's `Dom has several forms` works as precise correction rather than restatement.
2. Cut the portable narrator-overlay phrase `against regulation card behavior`. The line now keeps only the literal action: the card is filled in and folded once.
3. Cut the half-armed outlet-taping joke shape. June now gives the procedure directly: unscrew the outlet plate, do not tape around it, then tape the baseboard and prime.
4. Replaced `misfiled by size` with a physical disproportion: `the card under his pen looked too small for what she had put on it.`

## Verification

After repair, `bash scripts/quality_gate.sh output/chapters/chapter_12.md` returned PASS, open=0, allowlisted=0, WATCH=50. Remaining clerical/legal narration figures are at the Comedy Doctor's allowed cap and must be logged in `tics.md`.
