Question: Thrown a Curve chapters summary plot points


- Door Opening: Ch 131 "Breaking the Seal" (Ch 133 duplicate ARCHIVED)
- Cinder reveal: Ch 100 "The Patron's Face" (SOFTENED - now suspicion not certainty)
- Kingkilling: Ch 150 "The Phantom Warning"
- Final: Ch 174 "The Silence of Things Unspoken"
- Stub: Ch 22 "The Shape of Stories" (238 words)
- Simmon alive at Ch 108 & 135 is CORRECT - before death at 138

## Pipeline Problem (Root Cause)
- Chad's workflow: Gemini 3.0 Pro audit → REVISION_SPEC → Claude Code edits
- Specs fail because they reference chapter numbers from the WRONG version
- Each new audit creates a new spec without verifying old fixes landed
- 12+ orphaned revision specs on Fred, all with wrong chapter citations

## Revisi

- Responds well to swarm approach - "swarm it" = parallelize with multiple agents
- Has existing toolchain on fred - leverage it, don't reinvent
- Prefers ledger-based approach: summarize chapters → compile ledger → Opus validates ordering
- V4.1 carte blanche: "Do what you think is best for the story" - gave full autopilot
- Prose sweeps: said "not ready" when sweep was initiated (msg 623) - WAIT for explicit greenlight
- Path A abandoned by mutual decision after reviews flagged Door at 35% as fatal flaw

- NOTE: This prompt instructed AI to use "kinetic, thermal, binding, slippage, efficiency, galvanic" for hard magic - which is WHY anachronistic terms appeared in manuscript
- **Key canon facts verified from source RTFs**:
  - Kote's hands = "long, graceful" (NOT damaged/burned)
  - Bast's eyes = blue
  - Cthaeh, Scrael, Caesura/Saicere, shaed = correct spellings
  - Scrael = black, featureless, pottery-hard
  - No spoilers in frame chapters (crown/thermal slippage not revealed before Ch 108)
  - No anachronisms (guns, pistols, telescopes, kaleidoscopes, electricity, thermodynamics terms)
  - "Holding the door shut with will" is NOT canon - Kote's diminishment is internal
  - Denna's patro

- **Key characters**: Lyra Castellan (Academy), Astra Castellan (Gloom), Severin Thane (antagonist), Caelum Vex (love interest)

  - Heist chapter now delivers: Vault infiltration, Severin confrontation, Heart of Weaver stolen, VERITY cipher discovered
  - Connects Ch 8 → Ch 10 → Ch 12 properly

## Ring: v4 Fixes Identified (2026-02-05)
9 non-negotiable fixes for v4:
1. **Whisper payoff** - Wisp bonded in Ch 7, absent in climax. Needs participation.
2. **Heart of the Weaver** - Ch 8 mention unpaid. Delete or replace Gala with Heist.
3. **Candidate List** - Weaponize against Severin in defeat.
4. **True Hollowing** - Astra calculates death as acceptable (disturbing proof).
5. **Severin's defeat** - Machine overloads when Astra stabilizes (irony).
6. **Weaponize Hollow** - Astra calculates Caelum expendable; LYRA saves him (then he dies anyway).
