# Plain-Translation Audit — Chapter 22: The Booth (Round 2)

id: plain_translation | owner: claude | tier: risk
chapter: output/chapters/chapter_22.md (drafter stage, current integrated text: post-Characters-Wrong repair batch + dialogue-diagnosis preemptive repair; text state verified by Dialogue Doctor round 5 as snapshot `0041`/`0042` plus the four changed lines L101–107)
verdict: **REGISTER-HOLDS** — zero revision orders; all six prompt-flagged new/repaired lines adjudicated on generated rewrites; the "where to stand" echo adjudicated transformative with work shown; all five prior high-risk lines re-tested in their changed context; both gates run at zero tolerance

## Scope and calibration state

- Round-1 jurisdiction correction: the round-1 audit (`chapter_22.plain_translation.md`, REGISTER-HOLDS) was rendered against the pre-repair text. The two repair batches deleted lines round 1 cited as evidence ("That's the right amount"; "You were about to offer me crates." / "Freight elevator," he admitted; "He reached for his cup instead"; "beating her there") and inserted a four-line quarrel into the middle of the booth scene. Nothing is carried on trust: every changed site is adjudicated fresh with a generated binding-register rewrite; every carried clearance whose context changed is re-tested; round-1 findings whose cited evidence no longer exists are corrected under reconciliation.
- Form map unchanged: close-third June throughout (chapter card 22); forms present are June-narrator close-third, conversation/exchange (booth L27–165, curb L169–187), documentary (Theo's two bubbles L9–11, June's reply L19, the index cards L5 and L189).
- No inviolable passages declared for Ch22; no LOCKED entries. No calibration motif-exemption artifact; both gates run strict.
- Samples used, by name: **June voice card** ("perception first, judgment second, self-rebuke third"; "compresses when exposed"; "under pressure: shorter syntax, jokes as smoke screen, more visual specificity"); **June dialogue spec** ("The left edge is good. Don't fix it." / "That part works. Sorry. I realize that makes things worse."); **Theo dialogue spec** ("practical offer before emotional statement; qualifies when guilty, then forces himself plain"; allowed plainness "I was scared," "I lied"; never-says "polished aphorisms about care"; uses "key, label, schedule, crate, frame, I can, let me"); **reading-guide §2 plain-speech anchor** ("So if you quit, I lose the class." / "Yes."); **documentary text-message form** (the Ch21 thread register); **June pinboard/card form** (`FEB = coat`; the notebook's `74" clear to radiator` measurement grammar at L5).
- Mechanical sweep, current text: "load-bearing" (all forms) zero hits. "Oh," ×1 (L127), the §6-sanctioned at-the-confession instance. Deleted-line absence grep-confirmed: zero hits for "That sounds prepared," "right sentence," "brought one sentence," "right amount."
- Changed-line map adjudicated this round: L61 (pocket near-miss, replacing the cup reach), L83 (completed crates offer, replacing the anticipatory-unmasking pair), L89–91 (apology + "Don't make that useful either"), L101–107 (the four dialogue-diagnosis repair lines), L109 ("let her own line sit there"), L151 (fossil "back" deleted).

## Per-paragraph verdicts — repaired sites first, then re-tests

**D83 (the crates offer — repaired)**
HOLDS — conversation form, checked only against the Theo dialogue spec per the form rule. "Can I ask what happens now?" he said. "Not as a pitch. I know you had the Tasker thing sitting there. If you're going, I can get crates from the stockroom. Freight elevator at eight. I wouldn't come up. Or I could leave them with Sam, or downstairs, or--" Binding-register rewrite attempted: "If you're going, I can help you move. Just say the word." Measurably worse on all three axes. Information: the original's noun ladder (crates, freight elevator at eight, Sam, downstairs) is the card's object vocabulary ("crate" is a listed word) escalating uncaught, and "I wouldn't come up" is consent logistics the generic offer deletes. Drama: the unfinished sentence (the dash) is the misfire the scene needs — June's L85 cut has to amputate a sentence still running, and the rewrite gives her nothing to cut. Fidelity: "practical offer before emotional statement" is the card's stated sequence; this is the wound performing it live at the worst moment, which is the chapter card's engine. Note: this speech is also the evidence deposit the misread run draws on — L107's claim ("I knew where to stand for one") is verifiable against this completed offer twenty lines up; a softened version would leave L107 unverifiable.

**D85–93 (the rebukes and the stripped question — L91 new)**
HOLDS — conversation form — samples: June dialogue spec + Theo dialogue spec. "Don't be useful right now," June said. (L85) — five words, imperative, names the pathology mid-offer; nothing to translate. The new line: "Don't make that useful either." (L91) — rewrite attempted: "Don't apologize like that." Worse: the rewrite rates the apology's manner (which would brush the §6 zero-tolerance rule the repair exists to satisfy), where the original names what the apology is *doing* — converting itself into one more service — and "either" chains it to L85, extending one rebuke rather than issuing a second kind. Her card's exactness, minus the funny, correctly. Theo's exit from the stall — "I'm asking. Are you going?" (L93) — is the card's forced-plain terminal phase: the L83 question re-asked with the logistics stripped off. §2 plain-speech floor satisfied on both sides of the exchange.

**P87 (the stall — narration)**
HOLDS — narrator close-third — sample compared: June voice card (perception first, objects over weather). "He stopped with his mouth still a little open. The coffee between them had stopped steaming." Rewrite attempted: "He stopped talking. The coffee had gone cold." Worse: "mouth still a little open" is the amputated offer made visible (the sentence June cut off is still physically pending), and "had stopped steaming" is a watched, recent death of warmth — elapsed dead time measured off an object — where "gone cold" is a state with no duration in it. The doubled "stopped" is adjudicated at the echo gate (cleared: agent-to-object migration).

**D95–97 (the staying declaration — prompt-flagged re-test, context changed)**
HOLDS — conversation form — samples: June dialogue spec + §8 earned-stay test. "I'm staying, Theo. It isn't for you." re-tested in its new context: round 1 cleared it partly against a conduct-grade line ("That's the right amount") that no longer exists; the re-test must stand without it, and does. The vocative kills portability; the shaped alternative a pull-quote would want ("I'm not staying for you, I'm staying for me") is conspicuously refused; and the earned-stay evidence remains procedural, not asserted — dated before his texts ("Before your texts. That's the part you need in the right order."), materialized in third parties (Nia called from the sidewalk, Asha's name given with Asha's consent, Dana's room, Kessler's W-9), with "She made herself finish." pricing the delivery as effort, not polish. The new context strengthens the clearance: the line is now followed by a reply June *mishears* (L99–101), so no one in the scene certifies it — the declaration stands ungraded, which is the anti-polish condition.

**D99 (the measured reply)**
HOLDS — conversation form — sample compared: Theo dialogue spec. "If you were going, I'd hope it went well. Since you're staying, I'm glad. I don't want to make more of it than that." Round 1 cleared the (differently worded) fenced-hope symmetry as drama; the re-test adds what the repair added: the symmetry is now the misread's trigger — its very balance is what June hears as contingency planning at L101. Rewrite attempted: "I'm glad you're staying." Worse: deletes the both-branches structure the accusation needs to be plausible, and deletes the fence ("I don't want to make more of it than that") that keeps his gladness from claiming the decision — the exact discipline June demanded at L75.

**D101–107 (the misread run — the four repaired lines)**
HOLDS — conversation form — samples: June dialogue spec + Theo dialogue spec; the "where to stand" echo is adjudicated in full at the echo gate and cross-referenced here.
- "That sounds like you made a plan for either answer." (L101) — rewrite attempted: "You planned for both." Worse: loses the inference marker ("That sounds like") that pins the accusation to the speech she just heard — she is reading evidence and can be wrong, which the beat requires, where the flat assertion claims knowledge she cannot have; and loses "for either answer," the vocabulary L105 and L107 build on. §6 zero-tolerance re-run independently of the Dialogue Doctor: the predicate is contingency conduct ("made a plan"), in Theo's own logistics register; no sentence, phrasing, rhythm, or delivery is named anywhere in L101–107. The banned shape does not occur.
- "I didn't." (L103) — two words plus a marked look; floor-level English; nothing to translate. The brevity is a man declining to defend against a wrong charge, and the next line shows what the compression withheld.
- "You knew where to stand for either answer." (L105) — rewrite attempted: "You were ready either way." Worse: deletes the scene-01 root — "where to stand" is June's own private frame from L13 ("Theo giving himself somewhere to stand if she said no"), so the doubling-down fires in vocabulary the reader watched her build across the whole morning; "ready either way" is free-floating suspicion with no ledger behind it. It also deletes the stance-and-logistics register Theo's answer inherits.
- "I knew where to stand for one," he said. "It was worse." (L107) — the exchange's one quotable-adjacent shape and the round's hardest call. Rewrite attempted: "I only prepared for you leaving. That was worse." Worse, decisively: "prepared" re-imports the plan-noun he just denied at L103, collapsing the distinction that is the line's entire content — he made no plan of responses; he had braced for one outcome, the one the reader can verify against L83 (crates, freight elevator: his prepared stance for the going-answer, performed on the page). The quantifier drop ("for either answer" → "for one") carries the confession; "It was worse." prices it in his card's forced-plain terminal grammar. Extraction and echo adjudications below; both clear.

**P109 (the unretracted line — new narration)**
HOLDS — narrator close-third — sample compared: June voice card, plus §6 tested in narration. "June watched the coffee climb the cup and let her own line sit there, meaner than she had meant it, because taking it back would make him comfort her." Rewrite attempted: "June watched the coffee climb the cup and did not take it back, because taking it back would make him comfort her." Worse: deletes "meaner than she had meant it" — the only place the text registers that June misjudged her own force. The narration never names the misread as a misread; her self-registered misjudgment is the sole cost accounting the beat has, and it is what makes the refusal-to-retract a flaw operating rather than a righteous stand. §6 check: "her own line" names an utterance, but the grading word ("meaner") grades her conduct toward Theo — what the line did to him — not any sentence's craft, phrasing, or delivery; and the clause converts immediately into action-with-reason (the refusal and its motive). Perception (coffee climbing), judgment (meaner than meant), self-implication (the reason she won't pay) — the card's rhythm in one sentence.

**P61 (the pocket near-miss — revised since round 1)**
HOLDS — narrator close-third — sample compared: June voice card (her dry hyperbole built from his nouns). "She waited for the list, schedules and keys and how he would restructure the known world so this could never happen again. He touched the inside pocket of his coat, found the paper there, and took his hand out empty." Round 1 cleared this paragraph on a payoff that no longer exists ("He reached for his cup instead"); re-adjudicated on the current payoff: the list now physically exists and is nearly drawn, which is more information, not less — it arms L63 ("I wrote six things. I'm not going to read them.") with paper the reader has watched his hand on. Rewrite ("He didn't offer a plan.") deletes the near-miss and the object. Hand-instance accounting under the standing hands-reduction order is in reconciliation.

**P73 (the filing line — round-1 evidence corrected)**
HOLDS — narrator close-third — sample compared: June voice card — with round 1's stated defense struck and replaced. Round 1 defended "She filed that away without knowing yet what it was for." by citing a payoff at old lines 97–99 ("thought about the white paint at his thumbnail" / "beating her there"); those lines do not exist in the current text and that defense is void. Current-text adjudication: the filing is still functional setup, now cashed twice — the primer observation ("Primer, or maybe just white paint... which meant he'd been in the stockroom with his own work lately") is answered at L121–125 ("Thursday night... I started it week three... It's in the stockroom next to the storage rack, faced to the wall"), where the reader retro-solves what the white paint was evidence of; and at L175 ("The white at his thumbnail.") she re-reads the same datum before deciding to kiss him. Delete-the-sentence rewrite is worse: without the filing marker, L175's bare fragment has no antecedent act of noticing to resume. Re-declared the filing family's single instance, at absolute capacity, per round 1.

**D67–71 (prompt-flagged re-test: "I was deciding what you got to know")**
HOLDS — conversation form — sample compared: Theo dialogue spec. Text and context unchanged by the repairs; re-verified verbatim on current text at L67. The clearing holds on the same generated comparison: plain rewrite "I kept things from you" deletes the power verb — *deciding* is the wrong, withholding the symptom — and the consent architecture at L139–145 answers exactly that verb ("That's mine now. The deciding part."). The anti-polish staging survives intact around it (the six unread things L63; "I keep wanting to make it sound cleaner." / "Don't." L67–69), and the §6 carve-out still applies at L71: the confessed act *is* an act of naming ("I called it taking care of you because that sounded better"), so quoting the label is the event, not commentary on delivery.

**D179–181 (prompt-flagged re-tests: the curb terms)**
HOLDS — conversation form — samples: June dialogue spec ("dry corrections") + Theo dialogue spec. "That happened because the terms are set," she said. "Not instead of them." — verbatim-unchanged; extraction still fails it ("That" and "them" have no referents outside the scene); and the repair raised its workload: after a booth that now contains a fired misread and an unpaid meanness, the kiss needs the amnesty reading foreclosed explicitly, which is §2-protected direct register doing structural work (the guide bans a second rupture after the confession). Still the single "X. Not Y." fragment-correction in June's mouth this chapter (Theo's "Not as a pitch," L83, is a different speaker and a different function — scope disclaimer, not correction). "I know the difference now. I learned it this morning, but I know it." — verbatim-unchanged; the qualify-then-overrule shape is his card's mechanism, and it answers the recency objection the misread run has just made live: a man who was wrong about having plans this morning concedes the recency of what he knows. Plain rewrite ("I understand") deletes the self-overruling, which is the character event.

**P189–191 (close + card — prompt-flagged re-test)**
HOLDS — narrator close-third + documentary — samples: June voice card; June pinboard/card form. Verbatim-unchanged. The card `TUES = 4:00 / jar stays / I turn it or it doesn't turn` is checked only against her own card grammar per the form rule: equals-sign scheduling, slash-separated clauses, decision compressed to shorthand — form-true against `FEB = coat`. "I turn it or it doesn't turn" re-run at the Aphorism Gate below (cleared: double "it," no noun, opaque without the portrait). The narration closes on tracked objects with state changes: the sweater alibi cashed ("as suspected, not the warm one"), the dish left in the tote "this time" — the reversal of L3.

Remaining paragraphs (L3–23, L27–59, L63–65, L75–81, L111–165 excluding sites above, L169–177, L183–187) swept for form drift and gate candidates against the same samples; none rises to the risk floor above. Two representative clearances re-verified on current text: "he tasted like too much sugar, which she had known he would and had not known she knew" (L177) — the chiasmus still stores the explicit/embodied knowledge split that is §3's rule executing; plain "which didn't surprise her" still loses it. "Her life had earned one confusing receipt." (L155) — still object-bound self-aimed comedy; plain "She'd sort it out later" still deletes the self-permission.

## Aphorism Gate (zero tolerance) — full sweep, new lines first

- "I knew where to stand for one. It was worse." (L107) — CLEARED; the strongest new candidate (parallel structure, two-word landing, post-accusation placement). Extraction test: "one" has no referent out of context (one *what*? — the answer requires L101's "either answer," which requires L97's staying declaration, which requires the chapter); "It" in "It was worse" is doubly unresolvable (worse than *what*, and what is *it*?). Quoted alone the pair asserts nothing. In-scene function is confession, not cadence: nothing lightens, no beat returns, the exchange dies into the refill and the unretracted line, and Theo restarts the scene at his own cost at L111 — a successful epigram buys rhythm back; this buys nothing. Concur with the Comedy Doctor's standing warning and adopt it into this audit's conditions: the shape survives only while nothing around it smiles.
- "You knew where to stand for either answer." (L105) — CLEARED: second-person accusation, wrong on the page (L103, L107 both correct it), pinned to "either answer"; a maxim cannot be falsified by its addressee two lines later.
- "Don't make that useful either." (L91) — CLEARED: the paradox shape (apology graded as service) is real, but "that" is deictic to the apology one line up and "either" to L85; as free-floating advice it is unparseable, which is the tell that it is scene-bound. The reply it earns is a man looking at the table — no wit economy operates.
- "That sounds like you made a plan for either answer." (L101) — CLEARED: eleven words that exist to be wrong; earns a denial, not a nod.
- Prompt-flagged carry-overs, re-extracted on current text: "I was deciding what you got to know." (L67) — CLEARED: fragment of an indictment with no crime attached out of context; the scene stages and refuses the cleaner version on the page ("make it sound cleaner." / "Don't."), withholding the cooperation an epigraph needs. "I'm staying, Theo. It isn't for you." (L97) — CLEARED: vocative pins it; §8 requires exactly this plainness; now additionally ungraded by anyone in-scene (the old certifying line is deleted). "That happened because the terms are set. Not instead of them." (L179) — CLEARED: still the chapter's strongest carry-over candidate; "That"/"them" fail extraction; §2-protected boundary work. Watch flag maintained: the "X. Not Y." shape stays at one instance in June's mouth; Ch23–24 add none without adjudication. "I learned it this morning, but I know it." (L181) — CLEARED: "it" unresolvable; concessive shape is mechanism, not epigram. Final card "I turn it or it doesn't turn" (L189) — CLEARED as documentary form against the pinboard grammar only; "it" ×2, no noun, opaque without the portrait.
- Narrator candidates cleared with work shown: "let her own line sit there, meaner than she had meant it" (L109) — subordinate, deictic ("her own line"), generalizes to nothing. "there was nothing to do at the top of that gesture and they both knew it" (L29) — deictic and functional, unchanged from round 1. "the single inefficient thing in his entire operation" (L175) — pinned to "his." "He had made the blank into a prize." (L117) — object-bound paraphrase of his own admission.

Zero gate failures.

## Verbatim-Echo Gate — full sweep, the prompt's central test first

- **"where to stand" ×3 (L13 narration, L105 June, L107 Theo) — CLEARED as transformative, with the work shown.** This is the prompt's named question: does the phrase echo the scene-01 frame transformatively or become too shaped? Adjudication per instance: L13 is private, unspoken, hypothetical, third-person gerund — "Theo giving himself somewhere to stand if she said no" — her unresolved reading of the second text (kindness or self-protection), explicitly left open ("She still did not know"). L105 converts the private hypothesis into a deployed second-person past-tense accusation — "You knew where to stand for either answer" — same vocabulary, new speech act, new object (his composed reply at L99, not the text message), and the conversion is *in character*: under pressure June reaches for the frame she built alone at the kitchen table, which is overheard-speech behavior, not authorial motif installation. L107 is Theo's uptake — answering her accusation in her own terms is ordinary conversational grammar (he never heard L13; the resonance is reader-only) — with the quantifier transformed ("for either answer" → "for one") so the third instance carries the new information that resolves the first: the L13 question (kindness, or somewhere to stand?) gets its answer here — he had a stance for exactly one answer, the going one, and "It was worse." The family is therefore a designed spine with three grammatical roles (private hypothesis / accusation / confession), two speakers, and a completed information arc; and it corroborates without repetition at L171 ("my whole plan was to do nothing and let it be your call" — the staying- and silence-branches confirmed planless), which June closes by citation, not echo ("You put it in the second text." L173). Too-shaped test: the risk would be a fourth instance, any instance in narration after L13, or any speaker treating the phrase as a phrase — none occurs; nobody quotes it, notices it, or polishes it. DECLARED AT CAPACITY: "where to stand" / "somewhere to stand" takes no further instance in Ch23–24 in any mouth or in narration; the family is closed book-wide.
- "for either answer" ×2 (L101, L105, same speaker) — CLEARED: self-repetition under pressure is insistence grammar; the constant tail is the accusation held steady while the head escalates ("made a plan" → "knew where to stand"), and Theo's answer varies it ("for one"). Not composed refrain.
- "useful" family (L27 "considering the usefulness of walking to the corner," L85 "Don't be useful right now," L91 "Don't make that useful either") — CLEARED: L27 is her self-aimed audit register priming the word; L85 names his pathology; L91 moves the verb from being to making and the object from offer to apology — three instances, three constructions, escalation with transformation. At capacity; the word takes no fourth foregrounded use in Ch22's future touches.
- "plan" ledger (L13 "which was not a plan," L101 "made a plan," L171 "my plan was nothing. My whole plan was to do nothing") — CLEARED: the L171 internal doubling is escalating commitment to passivity (his card's over-explaining), and the ledger's entries are cross-scene corroboration (a stance for her going, L107; no plan, L103; no plan for her silence, L171) that no line names aloud. Distinct constructions throughout.
- "stopped" family (L37 "and stopped," L45 "and stopped," L79 "She stopped.", L87 "He stopped... had stopped steaming," L115 "started it week three and stopped") — CLEARED: bare floor-level verb as stage direction, five distinct agents/objects; the one designed pair (L87) migrates agent-to-object (his speech → the coffee's heat), converting the stall into measured dead time; L115's instance is the started/stopped pairing that is the book's unfinished-work motif in literal use (free per §4). Density noted as watch item only: Ch23 (the finishing chapter) should not let "stopped" become the default beat verb.
- "turn" migration (L45 "turned his cup a quarter turn," L111 "turned his cup once," L139 "I turn it around myself... You don't turn it," L189 "I turn it or it doesn't turn") — CLEARED: the verb moves from his fidget object (cup) to her consent term (portrait), and the documentary card compresses the term she spoke; the migration from nervous rotation to governed rotation is the chapter's power arc in one verb. Theo's uptake at L141 varies rather than parrots ("It doesn't move unless you move it").
- Carried families re-verified at count on current text: "just coffee" ×4 (L19, L35, L149, L171) — SPENT; no fifth instance anywhere in the book (standing condition maintained). "stays/staying" — the L139 internal pair is rule grammar (two branches of one conditional); L161 "The stain stays" extends the verb to her mark; L189 documentary; Theo still never parrots the verb. "Three." / "Three." (L51–53) — answer transformed into ledger entry, expansion follows. Two bubbles (L9–11) verbatim from Ch21 — same artifact, new reader; transformative by definition. "face down" (L5, L23, L147) — tracked phone state plus the diner-convention check, converted by both of them looking at it. Ch21's closed leave-as-choice construction: both candidate sites re-checked (L151 "left the slip under her cash" — coordinated second verb, compliance not code; L189 "she left it there" — subject transferred to June, marked reversal) — CLEARED; family remains closed book-wide.

Zero gate failures.

## Cross-audit reconciliation

- Round-1 stale evidence, corrected here: (a) P73's filing defense cited "beating her there" at old L97–99 — line deleted by the Characters-Wrong repairs; re-adjudicated above on the current payoffs (L121–125, L175), same verdict, new grounds. (b) Round 1's D83–95 block quoted the anticipatory-unmasking pair and "That's the right amount" — both deleted; the replacement material is adjudicated fresh above. (c) Round 1's conduct-grade count of three is stale: current count is two ("Good." L65; "Good... Keep doing the quiet version." L153), concurring with Dialogue Doctor round 5 and Comedy Doctor round 5; the Characters-Wrong warning (no new correctness certificates) supersedes the vacancy — the count is frozen at two.
- Hands-reduction order (inherited from Ch21, tracked by round 1): current hand instances are two fingers on the door pull (L27), the pocket near-miss with the hand out empty (L61 — new since round 1), palms flat on the Formica "nowhere near her" (L125), Theo's arm beaten to the check (L147), hands in pockets (L169, L177). The new L61 instance is withheld usefulness made visible — the list nearly drawn — and carries plot (arms L63); foregrounded hands still occur only where withheld hands are the content (L61, L125, L177). Order remains satisfied; L147 remains the single body-agency instance; family at capacity.
- Dialogue Doctor round 5 (OVERALL: CLEAN) and Comedy Doctor round 5 (CLEAR) were rendered against this same text state; no conflicts. This audit adopts both standing warnings as its own conditions: L91 and L105–107 flip to fake-sharp if any future touch adds a lightness marker near them; the deflecting-tag family (4) and conduct grades (2) are frozen.
- "Oh," (L127) — single sanctioned instance, license consumed for the book (unchanged).

## Chapter verdict

**REGISTER-HOLDS** — zero revision orders.

All six prompt-flagged new/repaired lines were tested generatively, not evaluatively: each binding-register rewrite lost named information (the noun ladder and consent logistics at L83; the mechanism-naming and chaining at L91; the inference marker at L101; the scene-01 root at L105; the plan/stance distinction at L107; the self-registered misjudgment at L109). The "where to stand" family is adjudicated transformative — three grammatical roles, two speakers, a completed information arc that resolves the chapter's opening question — and is now declared closed book-wide at three instances. The five prior high-risk lines all survive re-testing in the repaired context, one of them (the staying declaration) strengthened by it, and two round-1 clearances were re-grounded because their cited evidence no longer exists.

Standing conditions for any future touch (no orders; the text as-is is clean): "where to stand"/"somewhere to stand" is closed book-wide at three instances; "useful" takes no fourth foregrounded instance in Ch22; "just coffee" takes no fifth instance anywhere; the filing-caption family, the "Oh." license, the leave-as-choice construction, and the conduct-grade count (2) remain closed/frozen; June's "X. Not Y." grammar adds no instances in Ch23–24 without adjudication; L91 and L105–107 tolerate no adjacent lightness marker; "stopped" must not become Ch23's default beat verb; the terms/stays vocabulary re-enters this audit's jurisdiction in Ch23 with the *After Class* label, which must not absorb aphorism mass, and any restatement of the portrait terms must use changed words (Theo's transform grammar, not June's rule grammar).
