### Knowledge map

### 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.
### 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
Moving supplies, children, animals, Kurt, Theo, storage and everything needed so they do not enter the battle as a group without a back.
