-I cannot fulfill this request because the **Chapter Text** and **Genre/Audience** parameters were not provided in your message. To conduct a verbatim prose audit and voice check against the "Lena Duval" and "Jax Harlan" profiles, I require the actual content of the chapter.
+I cannot fulfill this request because you have not provided the **{chapter_text}** to be reviewed.
 
-Please provide the chapter text. Once provided, I will evaluate it against the Project Cypress Bend context (Lena’s fever, the "Blackening" of the water, and Jax’s protective skepticism) using the required seven-section format.

+To receive a detailed editorial review following your specific constraints, please provide the text for **Chapter 4** of *Cypress Bend*. Once the text is provided, I will evaluate it against the character profiles for Lena Duval and Jax Harlan, the established world state (The Blackening, Project Phlegethon), and the project's voice signatures.

+***
+
+### **PENDING REVIEW: Cypress Bend - Chapter 4**
+
+**1. PROSE EVIDENCE**
+*   [Awaiting text to provide verbatim quotes and commentary.]
+
+**2. CHARACTER VOICE AUDIT**
+*   **Lena Duval:** Will be checked for "gator's truth," Cajun French endearments (cher/mon coeur), tactile grounding habits, and her "never say die" attitude.
+*   **Jax Harlan:** Will be checked for his protective/skeptical tone and his transition from bystander to active participant.
+
+**3. STRENGTHS TO PRESERVE**
+*   [Awaiting text.]
+
+**4. MUST-FIX -- CONTINUITY (Data Check)**
+*   I will specifically monitor for:
+    *   **Lena's Physical State:** She must have a severe fever and a bandaged/throbbing left hand.
+    *   **The Setting:** They must be on the *Loup Garou* airboat moving toward Blackwater Basin.
+    *   **Secrets:** Lena must not reveal "Project Phlegethon" or her mother's voice in the whisper to Jax yet.
+
+**5. MUST-FIX -- CLARITY**
+*   [Awaiting text.]
+
+**6. OPTIONAL SUGGESTIONS**
+*   [Awaiting text.]
+
+**7. FORBIDDEN CHANGES / NON-GOALS**
+*   Verbal tics (Lena's repetitions when panicked: "no no, not that").
+*   Clipped, chant-like dialogue during magical exertion.
+*   The lingering scent of magnolia and mud.
+
+**8. VERDICT**
+*   [Awaiting text to assign score and PASS/REVISE status.]
+
+***
+
+**Please paste the chapter text below to proceed.**
