# Unresolved-Threads Protection Audit - Chapter 01

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: fake relationship public lie. Strongest resolution-candidate: `we are not a couple; I met this man forty minutes ago; he works here` (85). Why it is not resolution: June thinks the truthful correction but does not say it; the thread opens.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: Theo's nephew identity. Strongest candidate: `"Also, she's my boss. That isn't a defense. It's the floor plan"` (105). Why it is not resolution: it reinforces employee-cover truth and withholds kinship.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: Odile knew all along. Strongest candidate: `"It was full"` (73) and `Odile stood with her lenders and did not look over` (137). Why it is not resolution: rereadable placement without direct confirmation.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: June's New York decision. Strongest candidate: `"So it fits. With a week to spare"` (125). Why it is not resolution: class becomes a complication inside the lease clock, not a stay decision.

PROTECTED-HELD - thread: Theo's art-making. NOT-TOUCHED except by role contrast; no resolution.

QUICK-TEST: 1 of 4 conflicts introduced in this chapter resolve within their own scene - verdict: JOGGING.
- resolved: label switch introduced and corrected (15-25).
- unresolved/deepened: access to `Winter Kitchen` becomes Odile notice; fake-couple lie opens; June's leaving plan is unsettled.

Chapter verdict: THREADS-SAFE.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
