| 05 | chronicle | anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 | pass | — | chapter hit the fiction firewall (attempt 1): The phrase 'merchant-foundry, one that built its fortune selling books to readers and has lately taken to growing minds instead' and 'House of the Open Catalogue' are indirect identifications of Amazon, which is a real-world entity not permitted by the dictionary.; The phrase 'machine-cardinal of the Silicon See' uses 'Silicon' which is a direct reference to Silicon Valley, a real-world geographic and industrial hub, violating the naming conventions for in-universe locations. | $0.3272 |
| 06 | archive | google/gemini-3.1-flash-lite | — | — | foreshadowingResolved "the-hay-farm-encyclical-aftermath: the ch-009 promise (tests built faster than a definition of soul) fully articulated and extended to six tests, now explicitly tied to the altar-mind's benchmark parity as merit-over-bulk evidence" matches no planted promise — payoff before setup? | $0.0000 |

| 08 | illuminate-chronicle | — | — | — | skipped: no FAL_KEY — "The Unconsulted Dead" publishes without a plate | $0.0000 |
| 09 | spikes | — | — | — | SPIKED "Hidden AirTag reveals Amazon is trashing rare books to train AI": The sentence "An AirTag, hidden within the material examined, figured in the account" adds that the tracker was hidden within the examined material. The supplied headline establishes only that a hidden AirTag was involved; it does not say where it was placed.; The claim that Amazon's team was "connected to the practice" is not supported by the supplied summary, which only says that "Amazon’s team uses a T. rex preparing to devour a book as its logo." It provides no link between that team and the alleged destruction.; "The Specola notes the report and awaits fuller documentation" uses prohibited in-universe framing, as identified by the gate. | — |
