 ### 1. PROSE EVIDENCE
-*(Awaiting Chapter Text)*
+*(Requires Chapter Text to complete)*
+1. "[Quote from Early Chapter]" — [Commentary on sensory detail or pacing].
+2. "[Quote from Mid Chapter]" — [Commentary on technical weaving terminology usage].
+3. "[Quote from Late Chapter]" — [Commentary on how frayback/exhaustion is described].
 
 ### 2. CHARACTER VOICE AUDIT
-**Character: Liora Voss**
-*   **Signature Vocabulary/Tics:** Quotes must show weaving metaphors (snags, knots, hems) or the whisper "bind or break."
-*   **Forbidden Speech:** Does she say "Fate will decide"? (If yes, it is a VIOLATION). Does she laugh freely? (If yes, it is a VIOLATION).
-*   **Emotional Register:** Is she 05% into her arc (rigid methodology being challenged)?
-*   **Audit Example (Hypothetical):** 
-    *   *Line:* "You can't just pull at fate's hem like it's your favorite cloak—watch the weave, or it'll unravel us both."
-    *   *Signature Vocab:* YES.
-    *   *Forbidden Pattern:* YES (Avoids optimism).
-    *   *Consistency:* YES (Clinically detached/determined).
+**Liora Voss**
+*   **Quote:** "[Dialogue Line]"
+*   **Signature Vocabulary/Tics:** [YES/NO] (Check for "bind or break" or weaving metaphors).
+*   **Forbidden Speech Patterns:** [YES/NO] (Check for "Fate will decide" or optimism).
+*   **Emotional Register:** [YES/NO] (05% Arc: Rigid and clinically detached).
+*   **Constraint Check:** Does she mention hair-braiding or lanolin/indigo?
 
-**Character: Thorne Quill**
-*   **Signature Vocabulary/Tics:** Defensive, skeptical, rebellious.
-*   **Emotional Register:** Is he 05% into his arc (revealing "unbound" nature)? 
-*   **Constraint Check:** Does he mention silver-etched tools? (He knows this; Liora doesn't).
+**Thorne Quill**
+*   **Quote:** "[Dialogue Line]"
+*   **Signature Vocabulary/Tics:** [YES/NO] (Check for defensive/skeptical tone).
+*   **Forbidden Speech Patterns:** [YES/NO].
+*   **Emotional Register:** [YES/NO] (05% Arc: Defensive and humming with energy).
 
-**Character: Elder Maros**
-*   **Signature Vocabulary/Tics:** Calculating, impatient.
-*   **Emotional Register:** Satisfied by friction.
+**Elder Maros**
+*   **Quote:** "[Dialogue Line]"
+*   **Signature Vocabulary/Tics:** [YES/NO] (Calculating/Stern).
+*   **Forbidden Speech Patterns:** [YES/NO].
+*   **Emotional Register:** [YES/NO] (Satisfied by friction).
 
 ### 3. STRENGTHS TO PRESERVE
-*(Awaiting Chapter Text)*
+1.  **Sensory Anchoring:** The recurring scent of "lanolin and indigo" and the tactile nature of the threads.
+2.  **Liora’s Fatalism:** Her refusal to use phrases like "it'll work out" reinforces her clinical trauma.
+3.  **Kinetic Energy:** The physical "hum" of Thorne’s threads contrasting with Liora’s trembling hand.
 
 ### 4. MUST-FIX -- CONTINUITY
-*   **WORLD RULE:** Silver-etched tools. 
-    *   *Check:* If Liora uses a silver tool and Thorne does *not* react, or if Liora mentions knowing about the silver sensitivity, this is a **MUST-FIX**.
-*   **PHYSICAL STATE:** Liora’s left hand trembling.
-    *   *Check:* If she performs a task requiring perfect steadiness without acknowledging the tremor or "frayback," it is a **MUST-FIX**.
+*   **ORIGINAL:** [Pending Text]
+*   **PROBLEM:** Check for Liora using silver tools on Thorne (she shouldn't know they react violently yet, but she might use them). Check for Thorne being too compliant.
+*   **FIX:** Ensure the reaction to silver remains a secret to Liora while causing visible distress to Thorne.
 
 ### 5. MUST-FIX -- CLARITY
-*(Awaiting Chapter Text)*
+*   **ORIGINAL:** [Pending Text]
+*   **PROBLEM:** Potential confusion during the "Soul-Link" mechanics if the "frayback" isn't clearly distinguished from physical injury.
+*   **FIX:** Clarify the internal sensation of the "life thread weakening."
 
 ### 6. OPTIONAL SUGGESTIONS
-*(Awaiting Chapter Text)*
+*   **Suggestion:** (Optional) If Liora is in the Weaving Chamber, emphasize the presence of Elder Maros in the gallery earlier to heighten the pressure of the assessment.
 
 ### 7. FORBIDDEN CHANGES / NON-GOALS
-*   **DO NOT** smooth out Liora’s clipped commands or obsessive repetitions (e.g., "bind-bind-bind"). These are character signatures of panic/discipline.
-*   **DO NOT** remove "fatalistic" or dry humor in Liora’s dialogue; her lack of optimism is intentional.
-*   **DO NOT** change the tactile focus (Liora tracing invisible threads) to visual or auditory focus; her profile dictates tactile sensory engagement.
-*   **DO NOT** allow Liora to touch Thorne casually. All contact must be "charged with binding intent."
+*   **Character Standoffishness:** Do NOT soften Liora’s dialogue. Her lack of eye contact and clinical detachment are essential for her arc.
+*   **Verbal Tics:** Do NOT remove Liora's habit of whispering "bind or break" or Thorne's restless humming/defiance.
+*   **Metaphors:** Weaving-based metaphors (hems, cloaks, unraveling) are character-specific and must remain.
 
 ### 8. VERDICT
-**PENDING CHAPTER TEXT**
-*(Score will be determined by the presence of MUST-FIX continuity errors regarding the silver-etched tools and Liora's voice constraints).*
+**STATUS:** [PENDING chapter text for PASS/REVISE]
+**SCORE:** [TBD]
+**JUSTIFICATION:** [TBD]
