# Ripple Audit After Major Revision - Phase 8 Batch 2 Ensemble Expansion

## Change Manifest

Changed chapters: 05, 06, 19, 24.

- Ch05 before: "Mara announced that Luis had made her recognizable and therefore failed the assignment; Luis said, `I followed it. Move left, you'll see,` and Mara moved left and looked pleased." After: Luis's blind contour is materially accurate but angle-dependent; Mara translates his direct instruction; June recognizes the escort-the-work maneuver.
- Ch06 before: Priya/Ben's Suffolk thread existed as square footage and rent math. After: Ben has already blocked move-out, mail forwarding, two van calls, and box-Sunday into a calendar before anything is signed.
- Ch19 before: Luis says Theo blocked in June's stool; Mara says everyone counted; Luis says Theo cannot leave it half. After: Luis says the room has seven and `Move it or paint it`; Mara starts to correct him, stops, names the social count, and leaves the cup slightly off.
- Ch24 before: Mara fills the blue dish and Luis places it where people take empanadas. After: Mara starts to route it, Luis places it in traffic, says only `There`, and Mara lets the placement stand; Sam and Ben taking food verify the route.

## Scope Categories

FACTS: INTACT after tracker repair - swept references: `Mara`, `Luis`, `blue dish`, `Suffolk`, `Ben`, `After Class`, `seven`, `route card`. Nearest-to-broken case: continuity.md previously said only "Luis names the stool half-measure"; repaired to include the station-for-two and seven-room count. No prose downstream contradiction remains.

STATES: INTACT after tracker repair - swept character states in `npc_goals.md`, `rolling_summaries/`, and continuity. Nearest-to-broken case: Mara's Ch24 state previously closed only as "receiving it back"; repaired to "lets Luis's placement stand" so her arc state matches prose.

OBJECTS: INTACT - swept blue dish, empanadas, route card, calendar, cup, wash jars. Nearest-to-broken case: Ch24 dish remains in the studio/social circuit after being placed in traffic; no later object state contradicts this because no later chapter exists.

SEEDS: INTACT after tracker repair - swept `S-SCARF-01`, `S-PRIYA-BEN-01`, new `S-MARA-LUIS-01`. Nearest-to-broken case: thread_ledger.md lacked a separate Mara/Luis seed; added it so the Ch05 plant and Ch24 payoff are tracked distinctly from the scarf/dish object thread.

TIMELINES: INTACT after tracker repair - Ch06 still occurs Oct 29 before Ch11's application deadline; Ch19 still Dec 1; Ch24 still Dec 8. Nearest-to-broken case: Ben's pre-signed move calendar could imply a signed apartment, but Ch06 says "nobody had signed for" and Ch23 still pays with approved-but-not-signed.

PROMISES: INTACT - the new promise is behavioral: Mara/Luis need a non-default arc. Nearest-to-broken case: phase8_revision_strategy.md already required "Mara/Luis need a real small arc"; Batch 2 now pays rather than displacing it.

MYSTERIES: INTACT - fake-couple truth, public nephew identity, Odile's final proof, Tasker/Asha facts remain protected. Nearest-to-broken case: Ch19 "the room can count" exposes absence, not cause; no hidden reveal leaks.

PAYOFFS: INTACT after tracker repair - Ch24 blue dish remains S-SCARF payoff and now also S-MARA-LUIS payoff. Nearest-to-broken case: Ch24 summary previously named only "Luis places it in the traffic"; repaired to include Mara not translating him.
