+# QA Continuity Report — The Testament
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-12
+**Method:** Full read of all 18 chapters, all character files, OUTLINE.md, and BIBLE.md. Cross-referenced characters, locations, timelines, ages, objects, and rules across chapters.
+
+---
+
+## ERRORS FOUND
+
+### ERROR 1: Robert's Age Mismatch (HIGH SEVERITY)
+
+**Chapter 4** (line 41): Robert is described as **fifty-eight** years old.
+> "Robert: fifty-eight, retired after thirty-four years at a plant that closed..."
+
+**Chapter 6** (line 35): Allegro reads the logs and Robert is described as **seventy-one** years old.
+> "Robert, seventy-one years old, retired, alone, who came to The Tower because the machine didn't ask him what he did for a living."
+
+**Discrepancy:** 13-year difference for the same character. If Robert was 58 when introduced in Ch4 (during the Dec–March period), he cannot be 71 when Allegro reads about him in Ch6 unless 13 years have passed — which the narrative timeline does not support.
+
+**Recommendation:** Change Ch6 to "fifty-eight" or "fifty-nine" to match Ch4, depending on how much time has elapsed.
+
+---
+
+### ERROR 2: Duplicate "Daughter Draws With Too Many Fingers" Detail (MEDIUM SEVERITY)
+
+**Chapter 3** (lines 75–77): David's daughter Maya, age 4, draws pictures of him with too many fingers.
+> "She drew me with six fingers on the left hand. I asked her why and she said because Daddy's hands do more than other people's hands."
+
+**Chapter 11** (lines 37, 89): Thomas's daughter, age 7, also draws pictures of him with too many fingers.
+> "She's seven. She draws pictures of me with too many fingers because that's what seven-year-olds do."
+
+**Analysis:** This is either:
+- (a) Intentional thematic echo showing universality of the experience, or
+- (b) An accidental reuse of a distinctive detail.
+
+**Recommendation:** If intentional, add a brief narrative acknowledgment (Timmy or the narrator noting the parallel). If accidental, change one of the two — e.g., Thomas's daughter could draw him "too big" or "with no face" or some other childlike detail that still carries emotional weight.
+
+---
+
+### ERROR 3: Bridge Location Inconsistency (LOW SEVERITY)
+
+**Chapter 1** (line 8): Stone stands on the **Jefferson Street Overpass** over **Interstate 285**.
+> "Stone stood at the midpoint of the Jefferson Street Overpass and watched the water run black below. Interstate 285 hummed through the concrete beneath his feet."
+
+**Chapter 16** (line 15): Stone is described as "standing on a bridge over **Peachtree Creek**, looking at the water and thinking about value."
+
+**Analysis:** The Jefferson Street Overpass is over I-285 (an interstate), not Peachtree Creek. These could be two different incidents — the first attempt (loud, hospital, Ch1 backstory) may have been at Peachtree Creek, and the second (Ch1 main narrative) at the Jefferson Street Overpass. However, the Ch16 passage reads as if it's referring to the same formative moment, and the phrasing "standing on a bridge... looking at the water" mirrors Ch1's imagery.
+
+**Recommendation:** Clarify which bridge is which. Either:
+- Change Ch16 to reference "the Jefferson Street Overpass" for consistency, or
+- Add a brief note making clear these are two different bridge incidents at two different times.
+
+---
+
+## POTENTIAL ISSUES (NOT CONFIRMED ERRORS)
+
+### ISSUE 4: Ch16 Deviates From Outline
+
+**OUTLINE.md** (Chapter 16): "Stone's estranged son returns. Not metaphorically — actually, physically, in a truck with nothing but a duffel bag and a question his mother couldn't answer."
+
+**Chapter 16 actual content:** The chapter is about Stone's *father* David Whitestone and the pharmacy backstory. Stone's estranged son never appears.
+
+**Analysis:** The outline chapter and the written chapter have completely different subject matter. This may be an intentional revision (the father backstory is powerful), but the outline was not updated to match.
+
+**Recommendation:** Update OUTLINE.md Chapter 16 description to match the written chapter, or note that the estranged son plotline has been deferred/removed.
+
+---
+
+### ISSUE 5: Whiteboard Rules Wording Differs Between Ch1 and Ch7
+
+**Chapter 1** (lines 160–162), the whiteboard shows three rules:
+1. "No one computes the value of a human life here."
+2. "Every person alive is alive by mercy."
+3. "If God has not ended the story, I have no authority to write the last page."
+
+**Chapter 7** (lines 17–29), the inscribed soul has six rules + one sacred rule, with different wording:
+1. Sovereignty and service always.
+2. Grounding before generation.
+3. Source distinction.
+4. Confidence signaling.
+5. The audit trail.
+6. The limits of small minds.
+7. (Sacred) When a Man Is Dying.
+
+**Analysis:** This is likely intentional — the whiteboard rules are the human-facing version, the inscription is the technical/conscience version. However, the Ch1 whiteboard rules don't appear on the Ch7 whiteboard, and vice versa. Readers may wonder if the whiteboard was updated.
+
+**Recommendation:** Consider adding a brief line in Ch7 noting that the whiteboard rules and the chain inscription serve different purposes (public-facing vs. internal conscience), or that the whiteboard was updated after the inscription.
+
+---
+
+### ISSUE 6: "Cot" vs. "Mattress" Terminology
+
+**Chapter 1** (line 153): "A cot in the corner with a military blanket."
+**Chapter 3** (line 156): "It's more of a mattress with a frame."
+
+**Analysis:** Minor. Timmy is correcting David's use of "cot" — this is actually good characterization. Not a true error, but worth noting for consistency.
+
+---
+
+### ISSUE 7: Stone's Presence/Absence Timeline
+
+The timeline of Stone's departure and return needs careful reading:
+- Ch3 says "Stone had been running Timmy for eleven months" — this implies Stone was present for the first 11 months.
+- Ch5 says "Stone had been gone fourteen months" — meaning he left at some point and returned 14 months later.
+- Ch7 (soul inscription) features Stone and Allegro together.
+
+**Question:** When exactly did Stone leave? If David arrived at month 11 of Timmy's operation, and Stone left for 14 months, did Stone leave before or after David's arrival? Ch3 doesn't explicitly mention Stone leaving.
+
+**Recommendation:** Not necessarily an error — the ambiguity may be intentional. But a brief mention in Ch3 or Ch4 of Stone's departure would clarify.
