# Unresolved-Threads Protection Audit - Chapter 07

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: fake relationship public lie - strongest resolution-candidate moment quoted: "anyone who wanted to could walk up and check her memory against the man" (line 118). Why it is not resolution: it deepens public evidence of intimacy but does not expose the false-couple premise.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: Theo's nephew identity - strongest resolution-candidate moment quoted: "Theo was already at their pair... setting a second water jar on her shelf" (line 10). Why it is not resolution: his access/usefulness reads as class logistics, not family identity; no Odile relation is stated or made conclusive.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: Odile knew all along - strongest resolution-candidate moment quoted: "Leave the blank" (line 98). Why it is not resolution: Odile's tailored instruction stays rereadable but forward-opaque.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: June's New York decision - strongest resolution-candidate moment quoted: "she went and ate the clementine" (line 120). Why it is not resolution: acceptance of cohort care is not a stay/leave decision; Philadelphia/New York scaffolding has not entered yet.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: Theo's art-making - strongest resolution-candidate moment quoted: "His panel... did not go on the rails with the others" (line 112). Why it is not resolution: it plants private custody of an artwork; it does not solve Theo's art-life problem.

NOT-TOUCHED - thread: `After Class` subject agreement.

QUICK-TEST: 2 of 6 conflicts introduced in this chapter were resolved within their own scene - verdict: JOGGING. Same-scene resolved: Ben looks and gets reset (lines 46-50); June's mudded cheek gets scraped after Odile orders it (lines 94, 108). Not resolved: June/Theo's exposed attention; Theo's hidden panel; the fake-couple public evidence; June's self-owned stay/leave path.

Chapter verdict: THREADS-SAFE.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
