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.

Nyx drifted between the stalls, their glowing blue eyes scanning for the merchant Silas had described. Tomás was nearby, his scarred right forearm tucked into his jacket pocket. "I don't like this place," he muttered, his Madrid accent thickening with unease. "Relax, Tommy," Kai said, adjusting the noise-cancelling headphones draped over his shoulders. His natural black hair was hidden under a beanie. "I've got surveillance on every exit." Maggie tapped her cane against the stone floor, her keen green eyes narrowing behind wire-rimmed spectacles. "There," she said, pointing to a stall draped in crimson silk. "That's a Crimson Court front if I've ever seen one. Their base is in Avaros, after all." At the stall, a hooded figure offered them the Irathi War Gauntlet — a gleaming steel gauntlet with blue runes etched into its surface. "Straight from Dymas," the merchant hissed. "Prince Abaddon's finest work." Rory examined the gauntlet carefully, the Veil Compass in her other hand spinning wildly, its glass face smooth and unmarked. </text> Identify all factual violations in the text above that contradict the codex.
