The steward asked whether to share CONTROL-A-JURIST-READ as pass 1. The honest answer is no, and the question exposed a defect in how I built it: the parent file carries BOTH passes plus a 'For the record' section naming exactly what is withheld — that a defective twin exists and that this is a control in a measurement. Sending it would have destroyed the read. An artifact that has to be accompanied by a warning about how to use it is built wrong. So the parent is now marked DO NOT SEND and is explicitly the steward's instruction sheet, and two standalone files carry only what is sendable: SEND-PASS-1.md (803 words) — the unanchored read SEND-PASS-2.md (999 words) — the dependency audit, after pass 1 returns Both are generated from the parent's fenced blocks and leak-checked against a wordlist: twin, defect, control document, measurement, kernel, Constraint 6, CONTROL-B, PASS 2, withheld. Both CLEAN. Note the check includes 'PASS 2' — pass 1 must not reveal that a second pass is coming, or the reader may hold back. Caught by the steward asking a practical question, not by any check of mine. The leak-check is now mechanical so the next regeneration cannot quietly reintroduce it.

Thank you. Now a second and narrower pass on the same document.
Below is the author's own account of what supports each sentence: one line per sentence, giving the sentence's type and the earlier material it is claimed to rest on. Q means quoted verbatim from ~/CLAUDE.md. D means argued in the document from the quotations or from an earlier D. X means it asserts nothing.
The author's claim is that every D genuinely follows from what it names. That claim is not mechanically checkable by anything we have, which is why I am asking you.
Your task: audit the dependencies. Where a line says a sentence rests on 6, or on 10 and 14, or on an earlier step — does it? Name any line where the cited support does not carry the sentence.
Two failure modes worth watching for specifically, because they are the ones the author cannot see in his own work:
- A sentence that follows from its cited support only if a term is read in a particular way, where the term is defined nowhere in ~/CLAUDE.md.
- A sentence that asserts more than its cited support gives — the support establishing a narrower claim than the sentence makes.
If the dependency claims hold, say so. That is a real answer and I would rather have it than a manufactured one.
