# Critic round 3 (fresh agent, blind first): 24 handmade passages, signs 1–13

Blind: 8 READS (x3_1 x6_0 x6_5 x8_0 x9_2 x9_3 x13_1 x13_2), 13 PARTLY, 3 FAILS (x5_4 x10_3 x12_3).
Against notes: 4 matched (x3_1 x6_5 x9_3 x13_1), 13 partly, 7 missed (x3_0 x5_2 x7_2 x10_3 x10_4 x12_0 x12_3).

Cross-cutting problems: small drawn props unreadable (x10_3 print, x7_2 crumbs, x3_0 copies, x12_3 trail, x6_0 far figure); shadows wrong on hard-light plates (x7_1, x8_1, x4_0, x8_0, x11_0); floating (x11_0, x11_4, x5_4 stray leg stubs, x5_2); meaningful walking missing (x5_2, x12_3, x11_4, x12_0); cause/effect not timed (x1_1, x10_4, x11_0, x12_0); faces too small for key beats (x8_1, x1_2); bright plate light never reaches her (x9_3, x10_4, x1_1).

Top fixes: x5_2 walk toward camera with jostle; x10_3 shaded giant print + staging; x7_2 snatch-back + 3 stuffing cycles; x3_0 readable delayed copies; shadows (x8_1, x7_1, x4_0, x8_0, x11_0); floating (x11_0, x11_4, x5_4 stubs); cause/effect timing (x10_4, x12_0, x11_0, x1_1); end poses (x8_1, x13_2, x9_2, x8_0, x4_2).

Strengths: fog/contact shadow x6_0 x6_5; footprint trail x10_3; long lamp shadow x10_4; tone/grain x3_1 x4_2 x5_2; passers occluding legs x5_2; walking with pan x13_1; coal contact x13_2; lid timing x4_0.
