# Ripple-Effects Audit - Chapter 20

EVENT: June declines Tasker, recommends Asha, and commits to the Dana/Kessler New York path - ch 20 - connected parties: June, Asha, Nia, Ruth, Sam, Mara, Theo, Odile/Marchetti Rooms, Dana, Kessler, June's landlord, cohort

PROPAGATION: PASS-PENDING - per party:
- June: HEARD/EXPERIENCED ch 20 - "I'm calling before the wire because you deserve a phone call and not an email, and I'm calling to say no." She also acts on the decision: "Email to Kessler, 11:14: W-9 attached" and "Text to Dana, 11:20: *Yes to the back room and the wall.*"
- Asha: HEARD ch 20 - June gives the Tasker terms and asks consent: "Before I answer it tomorrow I want to know if you'd want your name sent." Asha later receives the instruction: "*Done. Said no at 10:52. Nia wants your email TODAY, subject line \"Tasker,\" she's traveling next week.*"
- Nia: HEARD ch 20 - "The no is mine. It isn't about the program." She receives Asha's name and says, "Have her email me today, subject line Tasker."
- Ruth: HEARD-PARTIAL ch 20 - June says, "I have a job answer due at noon tomorrow" and "I'm not asking for an opinion." Ruth does not receive all Tasker/Dana/Kessler facts, which is plausible because June declines advice.
- Sam: HEARD-PARTIAL ch 20 - present for June's job-deadline statement and carries the catalogs; no offer specifics are required for Sam's function.
- Mara: UNAWARE (plausible: yes) - she knows only the dish route off-page; June specifically keeps the dish to return herself Tuesday.
- Theo: UNAWARE (plausible: yes) - Ch20 contains no Theo contact, and the chapter preserves the prior knowledge boundary.
- Odile/Marchetti Rooms: HEARD/RECEIVES-OBJECT-PARTIAL ch 20 - the eight catalogs are "pointed at the studio by a route that had nothing to do with her." Exact recipient is off-page; Ch21 must reconcile the catalog re-entry if it matters.
- Dana: HEARD ch 20 - June texts yes to the room/wall and receives a photo.
- Kessler: HEARD ch 20 - June emails W-9 and confirms January 4.
- Landlord: HEARD ch 20 - "She sent it" after checking Paragraph 14 allowed email notice.
- Cohort: UNAWARE (plausible: yes) - no public class scene occurs after the decision yet.

FIRST-ORDER: PASS - direct effects are present on page:
- Tasker declined: "I'm calling to say no."
- Asha referred after consent: "I did the asking already, yesterday, with her permission. Asha Ibrahim."
- New York path accepted: "Second thing is I'm in. Dana's room, the wall share, Kessler."
- Practical commitments executed: "W-9 attached," "Yes to the back room and the wall," and landlord notice sent.
- Eight-catalog return route activated: "the box of catalogs left June's apartment... pointed at the studio by a route that had nothing to do with her."

SECOND-ORDER: PASS-PENDING - behavior/economy/relationships:
- behavior: present in seed form. June deletes the unsent Tasker wall question, fills `FEB = coat`, pins the Jan 2/Jan 4/Dec 10 index card, and hangs the leaving-side study.
- economy: present and active. June gives up the offer that "wins the math" for a path with $980 due Dec 10, invoice Jan 25, and money in March.
- relationships: present in seed form. Asha's referral becomes reciprocal work-world care; Ruth/Sam's care remains practical; Theo is deliberately outside the decision.
- Because no downstream chapter after Ch20 exists yet, Asha/Nia's outcome, Dana/Kessler pressure, landlord consequence, and catalog re-entry are not fully testable on later pages. Due-by: Ch21 for catalog re-entry if relevant; Ch23 for New York material follow-through; Ch24 for blue-dish/cohort care payoff and any Asha outcome note.

UNCLEAN: PASS - open consequence:
- The path remains materially precarious: "Can you get from here to March?" / "$2,643 and whatever paid crating I can get in December."
- Asha's Tasker outcome is open after "Have her email before one."
- The blue dish remains an open Tuesday tether: "Tell Mara I'm bringing the dish myself Tuesday."
- Theo remains uninformed, so the confession must handle trust/asymmetry without becoming the city decision.

WEB: PASS - linked prior events named:
- Ch09 plants Nia, Asha, Dana, and Kessler as material alternatives.
- Ch15 formalizes the Tasker offer and its Dec 4 deadline, plus the Kessler/Dana math.
- Ch18 keeps Tasker unresolved while June asks Asha to hold Kessler and receives the blue dish.
- Ch19 makes June's absence public, creating the care-pressure context Ruth/Sam answer without advice.
- Ch17 catalog rupture creates the eight-catalog return route that Ruth/Sam now help execute.

Event verdict: RIPPLES-PENDING (due-by Ch23, with Ch21 catalog check and Ch24 cohort/Asha residue).

Revision orders:
1. Ch21 - first-order catalog ripple: if the eight catalogs are visible at Marchetti Rooms, specify their re-entry route or placement without making Theo the carrier.
2. Ch23 - second-order economic ripple: show at least one concrete pressure from Dana/Kessler/landlord/December crating, not just a satisfied "she chose New York" state.
3. Ch24 - relationship ripple: use the blue dish / Tuesday-seat tether or Asha outcome residue as practical cohort/work-world continuation, not a speech about June belonging.

Tracker status: `output/event_ripple_tracker.md`, `output/thread_ledger.md`, `output/timeline.md`, `output/continuity.md`, `output/npc_goals.md`, and `output/canon_sheet.md` have been updated with these ripple obligations.
