+# Draft Verification Report — Quill Lane
+**Date:** 2026-11-01
+**Author:** Quill
+**Scope:** `wizard-work/quill/` draft-compliance artifacts
+
+---
+
+## Action
+
+Regenerated `draft-compliance-report-2026-10-31.tsv` and updated
+`draft-compliance-report-2026-10-31.md` to match the current lane census
+after the addition of `2026-11-01.md` and the line-count drift in
+`QUICKSTART.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Evidence
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Total `.md` drafts scanned | 81 |
+| Drafts with `VERDICT:` | 15 |
+| Drafts with `CHECK:` | 14 |
+| Drafts with a bare `CHECK:` command | 11 |
+| Drafts failing at least one column | 70 |
+| `VERDICT:` and `CHECK:` but a non-bare command | 3 |
+
+**CHECK command:** `bash CHECK-quill-draft-compliance`
+
+**Result:** 4 legs passed, 0 faults.
+
+| Leg | Result |
+|---|---|
+| selftest | PASS — 11 cells, 11 passed, 0 failed |
+| rederive | PASS — population 81, verdict 15, check 14, bare 11, failing 70 |
+| regenerate | PASS — bytes identical (7143 B) |
+| copy-parity | PASS — HEAD copy rc=0, mutated copy rc=1 |
+
+---
+
+## Compliance Delta
+
+- Population increased by 1 (`2026-11-01.md`).
+- `VERDICT:` count increased by 1 (new file carries a verdict).
+- `QUICKSTART.md` line count moved from 149 → 148; no compliance impact.
+- Compliant and non-compliant sets unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## Artifacts Modified
+
+- `wizard-work/quill/draft-compliance-report-2026-10-31.tsv` — regenerated
+- `wizard-work/quill/draft-compliance-report-2026-10-31.md` — counts updated
+
+VERDICT: 11/81 quill drafts carry a bare CHECK command; the committed TSV and report re-derive from the tree.
+CHECK: bash CHECK-quill-draft-compliance
