-I cannot fulfill this request because the **CHAPTER TEXT** to be reviewed was not provided in your message. 
+I cannot provide a review for Chapter 5 because the **CHAPTER TEXT** was not included in your message. To perform a detailed editorial review according to the project parameters, please provide the text for Chapter 5.
 
-To provide a detailed editorial review that complies with the required structure (Prose Evidence, Character Voice Audit, etc.), please provide the text for **Chapter 4** of *Cypress Bend*.
+However, based on the **Context from RAG Databases** provided, I have pre-calculated the audit requirements for when you submit the text. Below is the framework I will use to evaluate the draft:
 
-Once the text is provided, I will evaluate it against the **Character Profiles** and **World State** provided in your prompt, specifically checking for:
+### 1. PROSE EVIDENCE
-*   **Lena’s Voice:** Use of "gator's truth," Cajun French endearments, and the silver locket physical tell.
+*Awaiting Chapter 5 text to extract verbatim quotes.*
-*   **Jax’s Voice:** Protection vs. unsettlement regarding the "land-sick" fever.
-*   **Continuity:** The presence of "Project Phlegethon" markers and the "Blackening" oily sap.
-*   **Prose Quality:** Verbatim evidence of the atmosphere and pacing.
 
-**Please paste the chapter text below to proceed.**
+### 2. CHARACTER VOICE AUDIT
+I will be checking the following against the **Lena Duval** profile:
+*   **Signature Vocabulary:** Does she use "cher," "mon coeur," or "gator's truth"?
+*   **Stress Expressions:** Does she use "dang it," "hellfire," or "by the bayou's bones"?
+*   **Forbidden Patterns:** Does she avoid preemptive apologies like "sorry if..."?
+*   **Physical Grounding:** Is she reaching for tactile elements (moss, bark, locket)?
+*   **Olfactory Detail:** Is the scent of magnolia and mud mentioned?
+
+I will be checking the following against the **Jax Harlan** profile:
+*   **Arc Position:** Is he acting as a "fugitive accomplice" rather than just a guide?
+*   **Emotional State:** Is he "unnerved by the supernatural trail"?
+
+### 3. STRENGTHS TO PRESERVE
+*Awaiting Chapter 5 text.*
+
+### 4. MUST-FIX -- CONTINUITY
+I will specifically monitor for these potential breaks based on the Ch-04 State:
+*   **The Severing:** Lena should no longer have a psychic connection to the swamp now that she is in New Orleans. If she "feels the trees" in the city, it is a continuity error.
+*   **Physical State:** Lena must still exhibit "high fever" and "right hand tremors" as per the current state, unless the chapter explicitly shows a recovery.
+*   **Secrets:** If Jax knows about "Project Phlegethon," it is a violation (currently a "Carried" secret from Ch2).
+
+### 5. MUST-FIX -- CLARITY
+*Awaiting Chapter 5 text.*
+
+### 6. OPTIONAL SUGGESTIONS
+*Awaiting Chapter 5 text.*
+
+### 7. FORBIDDEN CHANGES / NON-GOALS
+*   **DO NOT** fix Lena’s repetitive speech when panicked (e.g., "no no, not that, no no").
+*   **DO NOT** "clean up" the Cajun French endearments.
+*   **DO NOT** make Lena apologize for her actions (she must "own her words fully").
+
+### 8. VERDICT
+**STATUS: PENDING TEXT SUBMISSION**
+
+**Please provide the Chapter 5 text to receive the full editorial review.**
