### Limiting lines
Do not turn Part 5 into only an operation. Do not turn leadership into an infodump. Do not erase sex, desire, body, water, food, children, animals, birth, injuries or grief because war logistics are present.
### Future seeds
Check against Part 6: Lexa's injury, Seth and Summer's deaths, the memorial day, farming, water line, founding council, city, Kurt, the Legends return, infrastructure and a base that is not clean.
### How future seeds are allowed in prose
Through physical action, object, water, food, birth, injury, radio, map, vote, hands, rooms, movement or natural conversation.
### How future seeds are forbidden in prose
No `this will matter later`, no `she did not know yet`, no reader-facing explanation, and no knowledge the character has no way to hold.
### Active-file contradictions
No known contradiction inside this chapter map. If a future skeleton or prose draft exposes a conflict with `canon_ledger.md`, resolve canon first and do not patch quietly in prose.
### Files to update after this chapter
If this chapter changes or is written: `part5_chapter_logic_map.md`, `worklist_by_parts_part5.md`, `chapters_summaries.md`, and, if time / age / death / birth / return / adoption changes, also `canon_ledger.md`.
### Existing summary / content lock
Kurt is born while the camp is still fighting. Steve is injured, Nancy is lightly injured, Ava is injured, Sara breaks over her, Clarke is injured and still gives orders.
### Sequence, what comes in and what passes forward
Receives birth and triage; hands forward Kurt, injuries and the understanding that the lake is over as a safe place.
### Characters active through speech / memory / object only
Characters not in frame may still influence the chapter through memory, object, signal, injury, death, name, baby or future institution, according to this chapter summary and `worklist_by_parts_part5.md`. Do not bring anyone physically into frame without a ske

### Children / animals / injuries
Children, animals, injured people, Kurt, Theo, Henry, the Hawkins group, the Caskett children, Beta, Scout, Princess and the cat must have a physical location in every relevant scene. If they are not in frame, it must be clear who has them or where they are.
### Couple and intimacy status
Part 5 holds desire, sex, smut, touch, fear, aftercare and body even during leadership, birth, injuries and war. Every active couple gets a living pulse according to that couple's stage, and does not become a function.
