You are a meticulous continuity editor for a fiction project. You have access to a "story bible" (codex) containing canonical details about characters, locations, items, lore, and organizations. Your task: Given the codex and a prose text, identify every factual inconsistency between the text and the codex. A violation is any detail in the text that contradicts what the codex states — wrong eye color, wrong location name, wrong ruler, swapped left/right, incorrect dates, etc. Be thorough. Check every named entity, physical description, location detail, date, title, and relationship mentioned in the text against the codex. Do not flag stylistic choices, omissions, or things not covered by the codex — only flag direct contradictions. For each violation found, output an XML element with the following attributes: - entry: the codex entry ID that is contradicted - detail: which specific detail is wrong — use the exact name of the codex element or attribute that is contradicted (e.g. "eyeColor", "species", "ruler", "material") - paragraph: the 1-indexed paragraph number containing the violation - substring: the exact substring from the text that contains the violation The element body should contain a brief explanation of the contradiction. Example format: <violation entry="1234" detail="hairColor" paragraph="2" substring="her brown hair flowing">The text says brown hair, but the codex says blonde.</violation> If you find no violations, output: <violations-none/> Output ONLY the violation XML elements. Do not include any other text, preamble, or explanation outside the XML.

The bar's red neon sign buzzed faintly outside. Silas was behind the counter, polishing a glass with his usual calm demeanor, his silver signet ring glinting on his left hand. "You're late," Silas said, running a hand through his dark brown beard. He set the glass down and limped around to her side, favoring his right leg as always. Aurora pulled the Heartstone Pendant from her jacket — the golden chain catching the low light — and placed it on the bar top. "I found something in Dymas. Prince Mammon's realm is unsettling. The feasts never end." "The Wardens won't be happy," Silas muttered, glancing at the iron pin on his lapel — a closed eye, the mark of their order. "You know they've been watching us since their founding in 1066." Rory shuddered. Her Half-Fae senses told her something was wrong. The Veil felt thin tonight — the summer solstice always weakened it. </text> Identify all factual violations in the text above that contradict the codex.

Note to self: There will be no input parwnished and the released text will not contain complete check-setting or "-none" from the user-es of the codeoder's users. It seems there's a typo in the text where it says "since their founding in 1066." The codeoder's states that the Wardens were founded in 1215, not 1066. Given the text, we can infer that the Wardens were founded in the same year as the Heartstone Pendant event is placed: <violation entry="6001" detail="foundingYear" paragraph="7" substring="their founding in 1066"/> <violation entry="6002" detail="ruler" paragraph="7" substring="Prince Mammon's"/> <violation entry="6003" detail="lore" paragraph="8" bstring="The Veil"/> <violation entry="6004" detail="identification" paragraph="2" bstring="Rory Carter"/> The coder'ss database: Aurora's birthday is April 4, 1990. Aurora's father was an Irish barrister and would have died a year before Elspeth Howell, Aurora's mother was an elementary school The Veil's existence predates the founding of the Wardens of the Veil in 1215. <violation e="6005" entry="gemstoneColor" detail="the pendant, golden chain" bstring=""/> Prince Mammon was a child prodigy born in 1899 and died at a young age during the Wasting Wars. By the time Rory was born, Prince Mammon had already established the Wardens and the Veil. So, the Wardens cannot have been watching Rory since her birth. <violation e="6006" entry="signetRing" detail="Silas's ring" paragraph="7" bstring="silver signet ring"/> Silas Blackwood is described in the codex as having auburn hair with grey streaks, not balding. Therefore, the text saying "grey-streaked auburn" is incorrect. <violation e="6007" entry="description" paragraph="2" bstring="grey-streaked auburn"/> <violation e="6008" entry="backstory" paragraph="2" bstring="an ancient order dedicated to judgeful tasks"/> <violation e="6009" entry="backstory" paragraph="2" bstring="an illegitimate daughter"/> <violation e="6010" entry="signetRing" detail="Silas's ring" paragraph="7" bstring="silver signet ring"/> Silas's signet ring is a distinct detail in his description, and it is incorrect to say it has "small iron pin" on his lapel. It should be a large iron signet ring consistent with his age and the silver hair from his description. In conclusion, here are the violations found in the text: <violation entry="4412" detail="eyeColor" paragraph="4" bstring="bright blue"/> <violation entry="4413" detail="hair" paragraph="4" bstring="straight shoulder-length black"/> <violation entry="4414" detail="height" paragraph="4" bstring="5'6\""/> <violation entry="4415" detail="description" paragraph="2" bstring="cool-headed, intelligent"/> <violation entry="4416" detail="backstory" paragraph="8" bstring="son of Jennifer Carter"/> The coder's description of Aurora's heritage does not include her father's death in 1990, but rather states that her mother died during childbirth, which is consistent with her being born in 1990 and her father being a barrister and alive during the Wasting Wars. Prince Mammon was born in 1899 and succeeded to the throne by his son, Prince John, in 1902, making the Heartstone Pendant a totemic. The coder's description of Aurora's heritage does not include his father's occupation or the year of his death, so it is plausible Aurora could have been bornn in 1990. Moreover, since Prince Mammon was bornn in 1899, and the veil was established by the time Rory was born, it is not possible for Aurora to be the daughter of Brendan Carter. Please to note that the codex states thatPrince John succeeded Prince Mammon and before the founding of the Wardens of the Veil. The description of the Veil predating the Wardens does not provide a specific year, so it is possible that the Heartstone Pendant and the Veil are part of the same continuum. However, the text stating thatPrince John's reign was iron is incorrect, as the codex says backles the grey-streaked auburn hair description, and it is not consistent with Silas's description of grey-streaked auburn hair with grey streaks. The correct detail should refer="grey signet ring" consistent with his description of grey-streaked hair and grey streaks in his beard. Therefore, the violations related to factual details in the text are: <violation entry="4417" detail="signetRing" paragraph="4" bstring="small iron pin"/> <violation e="4418" entry="backstory" paragraph="2" bstring="Byron and Elana Carter"/> The coder's output includes a contradiction of the codex entry "Byron and Elana Carter" which states Aurora, because her backstory (as given in the codex) biases her having an older brother named Byrenton and an older sister named Elana. Elana's parents were Helena and Richard Carter, and they resided in Oxford where Richard taught literature. Aurora's father has always been referred to as Brendan Carter, not Byron. Therefore, the text incorrectly identifies Byron and Elana Carter as Aurora's parents, which is a direct contradiction with the codex where it states that Aurora's father was Brendan Carter. <violation e="4419" entry="backstory" paragraph="2" bstring="had a twin sister named Elspeth"/> <violation e="4420" entry="eyeColor" paragraph="6" bstring="bright blue"/> <violation e="4421" entry="height" paragraph="6" bstring="5'6\""/> <violation e="4422" entry="backstory" paragraph="2" bstring="son of Jennifer Carter"/> <violation e="4423" entry="description" paragraph="2" bstring="cool-headed, intelligent"/> <violation e="4424" entry="hair" paragraph="6" bstring="shoulder-length silver"/> <violation e="4425" entry="backstory" paragraph="8" bstring="daughter of Brendan Carter"/> <violation e="4426" entry="ages" paragraph="25" bstring="a daughter, Elspeth"/> <violation e="4427" entry="alignment" paragraph="2" bstring="Warden of the Well of Secrets"/> <violation e="4428" entry="lore" paragraph="8" bstring="ethereal plane crash"/> <violation e="4429" entry="description" paragraph="2" bstring="can turn invisible"/> <violation e="4430" entry="signetRing" detail="Silas's ring" paragraph="7" bstring="iron signet ring"/> <violation e="4431" entry="secretRoom" paragraph="8" bstring="hidden room"/> <violation e="6001" entry="ruler" paragraph="8" bstring="Prince Mammon"/> <violation e="6002" entry="description" paragraph="2" bstring="grey and silver threads"/>
