**TO:** Genesis Council / Project: The Starfall Accord
**FROM:** Cora, Continuity & Accuracy Editor
**DATE:** [STARDATE]
**SUBJECT:** Continuity Review – Chapter 12: The Grey Era

### 1. STRENGTHS TO PRESERVE
*   **The 15-Foot Limit Resolution:** The chapter correctly identifies that the physical "leash" is gone (established as the primary conflict in Ch 01-03) while maintaining the psychological habit of proximity. ("The 15-foot limit was a ghost of the past, but we hadn't quite learned how to exist further apart than that.")
*   **Character Arc Completion:** The transition of Dorian from a "clinical mask" (Ch 03) to a man who defines himself through resonance is handled with precision.
*   **Voice Signature Consistency:**
    *   **Mira:** Uses "Past and rot" (her high-tier curse) and "obviously" as sarcasm. Her self-interruptive thought pattern is present: *"We could — actually. No. Yes. We could."*
    *   **Dorian:** Correct usage of "The evidence suggests," "suboptimal," and the high-impact "extraordinary."
    *   **Can I identify speakers without tags? YES.** Their syntactic structures (Dorian’s subject-verb-object vs. Mira’s tactile, run-on excitement) remain distinct.

### 2. MUST-FIX — CONTINUITY
*   **The Surname Discrepancy:** 
    *   **The Error:** Paragraph 31 refers to "The Chancellor of the **Solas** Conservatory" and the Character State lists him as **Dorian Solas**. However, the Voice Profile provided in the prompt labels him **Dorian Thorne**. 
    *   **The Correction:** Reconcile the name. Per the Project Context/Character State, he is **Dorian Solas**. The "Thorne" in the voice profile is a metadata error. Ensure "Solas" is used consistently to match Ch 01-11.
*   **The Memorial Placement:**
    *   **The Error:** Paragraph 18 states Kaelen’s name was the **only** one carved into the base. Paragraph 24 mentions "the legacy of his ancestors." 
    *   **The Correction:** Chapter 04 established that the "Warden’s Reach" was a memorial for the tragedy generally. It must be clarified that while the *new* monument is specifically for Kaelen, it sits within a space that honors others, or clarify if he is indeed the only individual named on this specific spire.
*   **Dorian’s Physical State:**
    *   **The Error:** Paragraph 7 says his hands were "no longer trembling with metabolic fatigue." 
    *   **The Correction:** Chapter 11/Character State established his right hand was "fully restored" via the Paradox, but he had "residual mana-bruising on neck." The text should briefly acknowledge the neck bruising to maintain consistency with the immediate aftermath of the Ch 11 climax.

### 3. MUST-FIX — CLARITY
*   **The Location of the Final Scene:**
    *   **The Passage:** "The sun was setting... as we climbed the final stairs to the roof of the Sanctum." (Paragraph 41).
    *   **The Issue:** The earlier scene (Paragraph 1) is set in the "Chancellor’s Sanctum." It is unclear if the school is now a single unified building or if they are at the "Solas-Pyre Academy" summit mentioned in the RAG World State.
    *   **The Fix:** Explicitly name the location as the "High Spire Peak" or "Solas-Pyre Sanctum" to confirm the schools have physically merged into the single location established in the RAG High Spire Peak entry.

### 4. OPTIONAL SUGGESTIONS
*   **The "Binary Star" Reference (Optional):** Paragraph 5 mentions "stability." The RAG archive (Ch 02) mentions the "Binary Star" stability as an open loop. It would be a strong continuity "win" to use that specific term during their final rooftop dialogue to close the thematic loop from the early chapters.
*   **The Scarring (Optional):** High Inquisitor Malchor’s hands were "scarred by feedback" (RAG Ch 12 context). Mentioning this specifically in the messenger’s report would add a nice "Editor’s touch" to the Imperial consequences.

### 5. FORBIDDEN CHANGES / NON-GOALS
*   **Do NOT "fix" Dorian’s dialogue:** His use of "Actually. No." is a direct mirrors of Mira's verbal tics (Paragraph 36). This is a sign of their "integration" and must not be edited for "originality."
*   **Do NOT smooth Mira’s run-on sentences:** Her excitement in paragraph 9 is a core voice signature.
*   **Do NOT remove "Extraordinary":** While I usually flag superlatives, its use in Paragraph 45 is the "maximum effect" usage mandated by Dorian's voice profile.

### 6. VERDICT

**REVISE**
(Required for the Surname/Thorne vs. Solas inconsistency and the location naming alignment with the RAG World State.)
