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.

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

<violation entry="100" detail="eyeColor" paragraph="2" substring="His green eyes">The text describes Torben Reikhart with green eyes, but the codex states his eye color is Green — wait, codex says Green, so no violation. Actually codex says eyeColor Green. So green eyes is correct. Wait I need to check all. Check paragraph 2: "silver hair" correct (Silver). "green eyes" correct (Green). "Stray" alias correct. So no violation there. Check paragraph 3: "Sable Dunmore was twenty-eight years old" correct age 28. "human" correct. "Auburn hair" correct. "brown eyes" correct (Brown). "Torben Reikhart" correct. "Kindling" correct item 107. "dark iron blade" correct material Dark iron. "fire running along the edge" correct power Fire. "silver locket. Petal's Locket" correct item 108 material Silver objectType Jewelry. "It still has her hair inside" not contradicted. So paragraph 3 seems fine. Check paragraph 4: "My sister Petal" — Petal Dunmore id 103 gender Female, Sable Dunmore id 101 gender Female, sister relationship not contradicted. "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore." The Felling timePeriod Two centuries ago category War. "Dunmore" location 106 terrain Coastal. "war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago" matches The Felling (War, Two centuries ago) and Dunmore Coastal. "Jurren — our father — he told me to take Petal and run." Jurren Dunmore id 104 gender Male, father relationship not contradicted. So paragraph 4 is okay. Check paragraph 5: "Twenty-eight years old and human" correct. "spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it" stylistic, not contradiction. "The locket at her throat gave a single, faint pulse" not in codex, but not contradiction. Check paragraph 6: "We couldn't give her a Kindling Rite." Kindling Rite id 110 category Tradition, not contradicted. "You burn the dead with what they loved. Their tools. Their letters. You give it all to the fire so they carry it onward." Not contradicted. "But there was no body to burn." Not contradicted. "Dunmore — port village on the salt cliffs" — wait location Dunmore id 106 terrain Coastal, not port village? But "port village" is not necessarily contradictory unless codex specifies. Actually codex says terrain Coastal, which is consistent with salt cliffs/port. So not a direct contradiction. "there's nothing left of that either. Just rock and old foundations." Not contradicted. Check paragraph 7: "Then we'd better make it count." Not contradicted. Check paragraph 8: "They left the Rusty Lantern" location 105 correct. "The air outside was sharp and clean, carrying the smell of salt and wet stone from the harbor." Not contradicted. So actually there are no violations? Wait let me re-read carefully. Wait paragraph 3: "On the table between them lay a sword — Kindling, she called it. A dark iron blade..." Codex item 107 Kindling material Dark iron objectType Weapon power Fire. Correct. Wait check paragraph 2: "The door opened and a man stepped through, shaking rain from his silver hair." Correct hairColor Silver. "Water dripped from his coat onto the warped floorboards..." Not contradicted. "His green eyes swept the room..." Codex eyeColor Green. Correct. "Old Rivka raised her chin. 'Stray,' she called..." Alias Stray correct. "He didn't answer. He crossed to the corner table..." Correct. Wait is there any contradiction about Sable's age vs The Felling? The Felling was two centuries ago. Sable is 28. She speaks of it as though she was there? The text says "she spoke of a war two centuries gone as though she'd stood in the middle of it." This is noted as seeming odd but the locket glows, implying magical/non-linear. Not a direct contradiction of codex. Wait check "Petal was fourteen" — codex doesn't specify Petal's age. Check "Dunmore — port village on the salt cliffs" — location 106 Dunmore terrain Coastal. Port village is consistent. Check "Old Rivka" id 102 gender Female. In paragraph 1 "Behind the bar, Old Rivka wiped..." paragraph 2 "Old Rivka raised her chin." Correct. Check "Sable picked up Kindling and sheathed it." Kindling is a sword (Weapon), sheathing is okay. Wait I should check every named entity. "The Rusty Lantern" id 105. "Old Rivka" id 102. "Stray" alias for Torben 100. "Torben Reikhart" id 100. "Sable Dunmore" id 101. "Kindling" id 107. "Petal's Locket" id 108 alias? Codex says aliases "Silver Ring, Silver Band" for Amma's Ring. For Petal's Locket no aliases listed, but that's okay. "Petal" id 103. "The Felling" id 109 timePeriod Two centuries ago category War. "Dunmore" id 106. "Jurren" id 104. "Kindling Rite" id 110. "Dunmore" again. So no contradictions? But the prompt says "Be thorough... If you find no violations, output: <violations-none/>" Wait let me check if there is a contradiction I missed. Let's examine paragraph 3: "At her neck hung a silver locket. Petal's Locket, though she never called it that aloud." Codex item 108 name "Petal's Locket" material Silver objectType Jewelry. So that's correct. Wait check paragraph 6: "We couldn't give her a Kindling Rite. You know the tradition? You burn the dead with what they loved..." Codex Kindling Rite category Tradition. Not contradictory. Wait is there any issue with "Torben said, 'Then we'd better make it count.'" No. Actually wait, paragraph 3: "Sable Dunmore was twenty-eight years old, human, and tired of waiting. Auburn hair fell past her shoulders, pushed back from brown eyes..." Codex Sable age 28, species Human, hairColor Auburn, eyeColor Brown. All match. Wait paragraph 2 mentions "the woman sitting alone at the corner table" — that's Sable. Let me check location details. "The Rusty Lantern sat crooked on its foundations, listing toward the harbor like a drunk leaning on a post." No contradiction. Wait is there a contradiction about "silver hair" vs "silver"? Codex hairColor Silver. Yes. Wait check "Brother Hemmen" etc not mentioned. Check "Iselda Moth" not mentioned. Check "Grunn Tetch" not mentioned. Check items: "Burden" not mentioned. "The Little Stoneman" not mentioned. So indeed there are no violations? But that seems unlikely given the task. Let me re-read the text very carefully for hidden errors. Text: "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.

"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.

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." Wait! "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore." The Felling was "Two centuries ago". If Sable is 28 now, she couldn't have been alive 200 years ago. But is that a contradiction? The text actually highlights this: "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 suggests an anomaly, but the codex doesn't state that humans can't live 200 years, though age 28 is given. However, Sable being present during The Felling 200 years ago while being 28 now is physically impossible for a human, but is it a contradiction of the codex? The codex states her age is 28 and The Felling was two centuries ago. The text says she experienced The Felling (she was 14 then). That directly contradicts her being 28 now if The Felling was 200 years ago. Wait, let's examine: If The Felling was two centuries ago, and she was 14 during it, then she should be around 214 years old now, not 28. But the codex says age 28. So saying she was 14 when The Felling reached Dunmore (two centuries ago) contradicts her age being 28 in the present. Yes! This is a contradiction. So paragraph 4: "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore" combined with paragraph 5 "Twenty-eight years old... war two centuries gone" — but specifically the text asserts she was present. The contradiction is with her age (28) and The Felling time period (Two centuries ago). Let's identify the exact substring. But wait, is it possible that "The Felling reached Dunmore" happened more recently? No, codex says The Felling timePeriod is "Two centuries ago". The text says "the war that broke everything along the coast two centuries ago" confirming the timing. So Sable being 14 then means she should be ~214. But codex says age 28. So yes, contradiction. However, the text also includes "The locket at her throat gave a single, faint pulse..." implying some magical explanation. But the instruction is to flag direct contradictions with codex, regardless of in-universe explanation? Yes, "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." So yes, flag it. But how to phrase? The contradiction involves both entry 101 (age) and entry 109 (timePeriod)? Actually the detail is that she was present during The Felling. Let's flag the age contradiction: entry="101" detail="age" paragraph="4" substring="She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore">The text places Sable (age 28) as being 14 during The Felling, which occurred two centuries ago; this makes her approximately 214 years old, contradicting her codex age of 28. Also check paragraph 5: "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 doesn't contradict, it comments on the contradiction. So that's one violation. Are there others? Wait check paragraph 6: "Dunmore — port village on the salt cliffs — there's nothing left of that either. Just rock and old foundations." Codex location 106 Dunmore terrain Coastal. "port village" is okay. "salt cliffs" consistent with Coastal. No contradiction. Check paragraph 8: "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." No contradiction. Wait check item 108: "Petal's Locket" material Silver. The text says "silver locket". Correct. Wait is there a contradiction with "Kindling" being a sword but in the codex it's a Weapon with power Fire. The text says "sword — Kindling" and "dark iron blade" and "shimmer of fire". All match. Check "Torben Reikhart" aliases "Stray". Correct. Check "Sable Dunmore" hair Auburn, eyes Brown. Correct. Check "Jurren" gender Male. Text says "our father". Correct. Check "Petal Dunmore" gender Female. Text says "My sister Petal" and "She was fourteen". Correct. Wait is there any contradiction about "The Felling reached Dunmore"? Codex doesn't say it reached Dunmore specifically, but that's not contradicted. Wait check "The Rusty Lantern" location 105. No details in codex other than name, so no contradiction. Wait check "Old Rivka" gender Female. Correct. Wait check paragraph 3: "On the table between them lay a sword — Kindling, she called it." The codex doesn't list aliases for Kindling. Not a contradiction. Wait check paragraph 2: "his silver hair" correct. "His green eyes" correct. So only one violation? Let's see if there's more. Wait check "Sable picked up Kindling and sheathed it." The codex says Kindling is a Weapon, but doesn't specify if it's a sword that can be sheathed. Not a contradiction. Wait check paragraph 4: "Jurren — our father — he told me to take Petal and run. I did. She didn't make it." Is there a contradiction with relationships? No. Wait check "The locket at her throat gave a single, faint pulse — a glow so brief he might have imagined it". Not in codex. Wait check "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." Codex Kindling Rite category Tradition. Not contradictory. So likely only one violation: Sable's presence during The Felling contradicts her age. But wait, there's another possible contradiction: "Petal was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore" — but The Felling was two centuries ago. Even if Sable wasn't there, Petal being alive 200 years ago contradicts her being Sable's sister and Sable being 28? Actually if Petal was 14 then, and Sable was also there? But the contradiction is mainly Sable's presence. However, the text says "My sister Petal... She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore." This implies Petal was alive 200 years ago. But codex doesn't specify Petal's age or lifespan. So not necessarily a contradiction unless we infer she should also be old/dead. But she is dead ("She didn't make it"). So Petal dying 200 years ago is consistent with being dead now. The problem is only Sable being alive then and being 28 now. But wait, the text in paragraph 5 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." This frames it as strange. So it's an intentional contradiction? Still, it's a contradiction with the codex (age 28 vs being alive 200 years ago). Let's check if there is any other contradiction hidden in location descriptions. "The Rusty Lantern sat crooked on its foundations, listing toward the harbor..." No location details in codex for The Rusty Lantern except name. Wait check paragraph 8: "Somewhere down the waterfront a shutter banged in the wind." Not contradicted. Actually wait, I need to check all named entities against codex IDs. Characters mentioned: - Old Rivka (id 102) gender Female. Correct. - Torben Reikhart (id 100) gender Male, eyeColor Green, hairColor Silver, aliases Stray. All correct. - Sable Dunmore (id 101) species Human, gender Female, age 28, eyeColor Brown, hairColor Auburn. All correct in text? Wait text says "brown eyes" yes. "Auburn hair" yes. - Petal Dunmore (id 103) gender Female. Text says sister, she was fourteen, correct gender. - Jurren Dunmore (id 104) gender Male. Text says father, correct. - Kindling (id 107) material Dark iron, objectType Weapon, power Fire. Text: dark iron blade, sword (weapon), fire shimmer. Correct. - Petal's Locket (id 108) material Silver, objectType Jewelry. Text: silver locket. Correct. - The Felling (id 109) timePeriod Two centuries ago, category War. Text: war... two centuries ago. Correct. - Kindling Rite (id 110) category Tradition. Text: tradition. Correct. - Dunmore (id 106) terrain Coastal. Text: port village on the salt cliffs. Coastal is consistent. So yes, only the age/time contradiction. But wait, is there a contradiction in paragraph 6? "Dunmore — port village on the salt cliffs — there's nothing left of that either. Just rock and old foundations." The codex lists Dunmore as a location with terrain Coastal. There's no contradiction that it's destroyed. Wait, I should also check for swapped left/right? Not present. Check for wrong title? Not present. Check for incorrect dates? The Felling is correct. So I will output one violation. Wait, actually there's another: In paragraph 3, "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..." The codex for item 108 is "Petal's Locket" material Silver objectType Jewelry. No contradiction. But wait, check item 120 "Amma's Ring" aliases "Silver Ring, Silver Band". Not mentioned. So only one. But I want to be absolutely sure. Let's read the text one more time, word by word. "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." No named entities other than Old Rivka and The Rusty Lantern. "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." No contradictions. "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."" All correct. "Torben waited. He'd learned when to be quiet." No issues. "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." Contradiction: Sable age 28, The Felling two centuries ago, she was 14 then. "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." No new contradiction. "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."" No contradiction. "Torben said, "Then we'd better make it count."" No. "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." No. Thus, only one violation. But wait, the prompt asks to check "every named entity, physical description, location detail, date, title, and relationship mentioned in the text against the codex." Relationship: "My sister Petal" — Petal Dunmore is listed, no relationship specified in codex, but sister is plausible (same last name). Not contradicted. "Jurren — our father" — Jurren Dunmore is listed, gender Male. Father relationship not contradicted. So yes. One more check: Is there an entry for "The Rusty Lantern" with any details? Only name. So "listing toward the harbor" is not contradicted. Thus output one violation XML. But I need to be precise with the substring. The substring should be the exact text containing the violation. The violation is that she was 14 during The Felling, which was two centuries ago, but she is 28. The substring could be "She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore". The paragraph is 4. The entry contradicted is "101" (Sable's age) or "109" (The Felling's time)? Both are involved. The detail is "age" for entry 101, because her being present then contradicts her age of 28 given The Felling's date. Or detail could be "timePeriod" for entry 109? No, The Felling's time period is correct (two centuries ago). The contradiction is that Sable's age doesn't align. So entry="101" detail="age" paragraph="4" substring="She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore". Explanation: The codex lists Sable as age 28 and The Felling as occurring two centuries ago; being 14 during that event would make her approximately 214 years old, contradicting her stated age. Let's output that.<violation entry="101" detail="age" paragraph="4" substring="She was fourteen when The Felling reached Dunmore">The codex states Sable is 28 and The Felling occurred two centuries ago; being 14 during that war would make her about 214 years old, contradicting her age.</violation>
