System

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 Rusty Lantern sat crooked on its foundations, listing toward the harbor like a drunk leaning on a post. Salt had eaten into the planks years ago and no one had bothered to replace them. The ceiling beams were black with smoke. Behind the bar, Old Rivka wiped the same glass she'd been wiping for the last quarter hour, watching the door with the patience of someone who had outlived most of her regulars.

The door opened and a man stepped through, shaking rain from his silver hair. Water dripped from his coat onto the warped floorboards and pooled in the grooves between planks. His green eyes swept the room — the fishermen hunched over their cups, the candle guttering in its sconce, the woman sitting alone at the corner table. He smelled of wet wool and the cold air off the harbor. Old Rivka raised her chin. "Stray," she called across the room. "Didn't think you'd show." He didn't answer. He crossed to the corner table, his boots leaving damp prints on the wood, and sat down across from the woman waiting there.

Sable Dunmore was twenty-eight years old, human, and tired of waiting. Auburn hair fell past her shoulders, pushed back from brown eyes that tracked Torben Reikhart as he settled into the chair opposite her. On the table between them lay a sword — Kindling, she called it. A dark iron blade, the metal faintly warm even in the chill of the tavern. If you watched closely you could see it: the barest shimmer of fire running along the edge, thin as a hair. At her neck hung a silver locket. Petal's Locket, though she never called it that aloud. "It still has her hair inside," she said, touching it once. "That's all I have left of her."

Torben waited. He'd learned when to be quiet.

"My sister Petal," Sable said. "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore. You know what that was — the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago. Jurren — our father — he told me to take Petal and run. I did. She didn't make it."

Torben didn't ask the obvious question. Twenty-eight years old and human, but she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it. The locket at her throat gave a single, faint pulse — a glow so brief he might have imagined it — and then was still.

Sable's hand moved to the locket again. "We couldn't give her a Kindling Rite. You know the tradition? You burn the dead with what they loved. Their tools. Their letters. You give it all to the fire so they carry it onward. But there was no body to burn. Nothing left of her but this locket and whatever I can remember." She looked at Torben. "Dunmore — port village on the salt cliffs — there's nothing left of that either. Just rock and old foundations."

Torben said, "Then we'd better make it count."

Sable picked up Kindling and sheathed it. They left the Rusty Lantern without another word. The rain had stopped. The air outside was sharp and clean, carrying the smell of salt and wet stone from the harbor. Somewhere down the waterfront a shutter banged in the wind. Old Rivka set the glass down, held it up to the dim light for a moment as if checking her own reflection, then reached for another.

Identify all factual violations in the text above that contradict the codex.

Model response

<violation entry="105" detail="name" paragraph="1" substring="The Rusty Lantern">The codex has "The Rusty Lantern" as a location, but the text refers to it as "The Rusty Lantern." This is not a violation.</violation> No violation.

Wait, I need to check each detail:

1. Paragraph 1: "Old Rivka" - codex id 102, gender Female, okay.

2. Paragraph 2: "Torben Reikhart" - codex id 100 - male, green eyes, silver hair. Text says "shaking rain from his silver hair" and "green eyes". That's consistent.

3. Paragraph 3: "Sable Dunmore" - codex id 101 - human, female, age 28, brown eyes, auburn hair. Text says "Sable Dunmore was twenty-eight years old, human, and tired of waiting. Auburn hair fell past her shoulders, pushed back from brown eyes." Consistent.

4. Paragraph 3: "Kindling" - codex id 107 - weapon made of dark iron, power fire. Text says "a sword — Kindling, she called it. A dark iron blade, the metal faintly warm... barest shimmer of fire running along the edge." That's consistent.

5. Paragraph 3: "Petal's Locket" - codex id 108 - silver, jewelry. Text says "a silver locket. Petal's Locket." Consistent.

6. Paragraph 5: "My sister Petal" - codex id 103 - female. Okay.

7. Paragraph 5: "The Felling" - codex id 109 - time period: two centuries ago, category: war. Text says "the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago." That's consistent.

8. Paragraph 5: "Dunmore" - codex id 106 - coastal terrain. Text says "port village on the salt cliffs" - that's coastal. Also mentions "coast" earlier. Consistent.

9. Paragraph 5: "Jurren" - codex id 104 - male. Text says "Jurren — our father". Consistent.

10. Paragraph 6: "Kindling Rite" - codex id 110 - tradition. Text says "the tradition" - consistent.

Now let me check for contradictions:

- Paragraph 5: Sable says "twenty-eight years old and human, but she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it." That's a character discrepancy - she is 28 but speaks of a war from 200 years ago as if she experienced it. The codex says Sable Dunmore is human, age 28, female. A human who is 28 cannot have experienced a war two centuries ago. But the text itself notes this as a discrepancy (the narrator observes it). However, the text doesn't assert she was there; it says she speaks as though she had been. This is portrayal, not a factual claim by the text. The codex doesn't have any contradiction about that - it's just her dialogue saying she experienced the war. But the text explicitly says she was 28 during a war that happened 200 years ago. That is physically impossible for a human. The codex says she is human and age 28. The text says she lived through The Felling two centuries ago. That's a contradiction.

But wait, the text sentence: "Twenty-eight years old and human, but she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it." This is the narrator commenting on the weirdness. Then in her dialogue: "I did. She didn't make it." -- she says she took Petal and ran during The Felling. That implies she was there, which would make her over 200 years old. But the codex says she's 28 and human. So there's a direct contradiction between the text's implication (she lived through the war) and the codex (human, age 28). I think this is a violation.

Also, in paragraph 5: "Jurren — our father — he told me to take Petal and run. I did." - So Sable says she was present during The Felling. But she is 28 and human. That contradicts her species/age.

- Also check: "The locket at her throat gave a single, faint pulse — a glow so brief he might have imagined it." - The codex says Petal's Locket is silver jewelry. No mention of glowing or magic. But the codex may not have all attributes. It says material: silver, objectType: jewelry. It doesn't say it doesn't glow. Since the codex doesn't explicitly state it does not glow, this is not a contradiction. The codex is silent on magical properties, so this is not a violation.

- Another: "Old Rivka" - codex only has gender Female. No other details. No contradiction.

- "The Rusty Lantern" - codex only has name. No contradiction.

- "Dunmore" - codex has terrain: Coastal. Text says "port village on the salt cliffs" which is coastal. Consistent.

- "Jurren Dunmore" - codex: male. Okay.

- "Petal Dunmore" - codex: female. Okay.

So the main violation is the contradiction between Sable being human and 28 but apparently living through the Felling 200 years ago.

Also check: "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore." - So Petal was 14 during the war. Sable says "I did" when talking about running with Petal, implying she was also present. If Sable is now 28, and Petal was 14 at the time of the war, that would mean the war happened about 14-15 years ago (if Sable was also around that age). But the war is said to be two centuries ago. That's a direct contradiction. The text itself states the war was two centuries ago, and Sable is 28. So either Sable is lying or the text is inconsistent. Either way, the codex says Sable is human, age 28, and cannot be over 200 years old. This is a contradiction.

I'll flag this.

Also check: "Kindling Rite" - codex category "Tradition". Text calls it a tradition. No violation.

I'll output the violation.

One more: In paragraph 5, Sable says "Jurren — our father". The codex has Jurren Dunmore (id 104) as male. That's fine.

I think only one violation.

But let me double-check if there are any other contradictions.

- "coastal" vs "salt cliffs" - consistent.

- "Old Rivka" - no age or description given in codex, so any behavior is fine.

- "Torben Reikhart" - codex has green eyes and silver hair. Text matches.

- "Kindling" - dark iron, weapon, fire. Text matches.

- "Petal's Locket" - silver, jewelry. Text says silver locket. No mention of hair inside in codex, but that's not a contradiction.

So only one violation.

<violation entry="101" detail="species" paragraph="5" substring="Sable Dunmore was twenty-eight years old, human, and tired of waiting. ... she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it.">The codex states Sable Dunmore is human and age 28, yet the text implies she lived through The Felling two centuries ago (she says "I did" when Petal was fourteen during the war), which contradicts human biology and her stated age.</violation>
