# Adversarial Register Audit - Chapter 10

## CODEX-ON-CLAUDE

CLEAR after integration repairs. Checked all thirteen Claude defaults. Nearest misses:
- em-dash crutch: raw draft had seven em dashes; final text reduces these to zero in the repaired passages.
- narrator-philosopher intrusion: "They were liked now" survives because it names a social state already staged by Ch08 and Mara's dinner plan, not a detachable maxim.
- theme explanation: "It did not say, what can you do correctly" survives because it is tied to the assignment card on the model stand and followed by action, not a thesis close.
- physical reaction defaults: "his back ached from not moving" is posture consequence, not heartbeat/throat shorthand.

## CLAUDE-ON-CODEX

NO-CODEX-MATERIAL requiring a separate Claude codex-tic audit. Codex performed local mechanical/tic integration, not a parallel-drafted scene; the chapter will still receive Claude Dialogue Doctor and Comedy Doctor pressure before commit.

## COMP-DRIFT

CLEAR - no Beth O'Leary found-family over-warmth drift. The cohort appears through specific class business: oranges, crossword, knitting, water jar.
CLEAR - no Emily Henry banter drift. The comic lines are functional and anchored in assignment pressure: "Can Ben hold his coffee?" / "Only if coffee is the love of his life."
CLEAR - no Morisaki/Coffee Gets Cold quietness-as-aesthetic drift. Quiet beats are tied to painting and room mechanics, not generalized smallness.

## GENRE-CLICHE-CHECK

PREMISE-CODED. Evidence: the romance pressure arrives through an art assignment and useful labor, not hand sensuality: "the wing nut of the third easel" and "his own station: the panel taped and white." The chapter avoids generic forced-proximity language and keeps the desire channel inside craft attention.

Chapter verdict: CLEAN.

REVISION ORDERS: None.
