# Author desk run-through · 1 October 2026

This is a Codex author desk review of actual saved files/tools, not a human teacher, child, parent, funder, accessibility or classroom trial. Plans and source opportunities are present; actual enactment, independent decoding/encoding, listener responses, physical handwriting and school/state moderation are unavailable. Local setup estimates are unmeasured. Root independent review/publication remains a further gate.

## Teacher desk path

Read all ten 25-minute plans, thirty specific routes, twenty worked contexts, all home/extras and the key. Start each plan with the child's own interesting topic and a useful actual beginning, then use a small rich-source portion. Day 21 does not require a full source-status form before making. Days 22/26/28 compare narrative/information jobs; Day 23 distinguishes clue/inference/unknown; Day 24 models two complete clauses; Day 27 uses meaningful prefix/suffix families; Day 29 rereads actual child text. The teacher can retain two simple sentences or a useful plain word. Multiple components are not forced into a short whole-class collection slot. A few focus samples and another short sitting are explicit.

**Material limitations:** the original small text set is narrower than the full literary/cultural and phonics range. The information text describes a saved original drawing; it supplies no actual harbour, craft, weather or source-local result. Persuasive work is optional extension; silent-letter/less-common-vowel/high-frequency breadth, consistently legible physical letters and wider audiences remain open. The module is useful partial teaching, not a full Year 2 assessment programme.

## Student desk path

Own topic, event, information grouping, vocabulary, link, kept/revised idea and privacy choices remain genuine. Broad blank fields impose no length or drawing quota. One useful event/detail is a valid beginning. Story K is playful rich language; it is adult-read in short portions. Actual oral composition is useful; exact scribing creates an actual child-authored text with adult encoding/physical help disclosed. Child-directed drawing can be an artefact, whereas an unwritten proposal remains a plan. The routes do not fabricate independent print or handwriting from those forms. No forced voice, touch, mental imagery, title, body range, public reader or prescribed emotion.

**Revision during desk work:** explicit locally reviewed vowel labels distinguish cat's a, tall/small's a-aw and mast's a-ah for Australian pronunciations; locally different pronunciation requires teacher review rather than silently assigning one sound. Plays uses s-z, packs uses s. Replay's long e and raincoat's oa are optional actual prior teaching, never an assumed next pattern. These distinctions are sampled independently through omission checks.

## Parent desk path

All ten home offers and ten extras are standalone private play. Neither Day 25 nor Day 30 waits for a school first-response schedule. No purchase, object, device, print, voice, writing or return obligation. Adult reading/scribing can support play with no claim of independent decoding/handwriting. The school held cases themselves remain separate first-response sources, and school worked Day 25/30 examples remain later teaching after first capture. Family practice does not need those school sources.

## Funder / evidence desk path

Thirteen exact selected Year 2 workbook XML descriptions and complete achievement row 33 match current canonical records. A fresh official workbook request matches the retained 2,049,917-byte SHA. Current QCAA Year 2 alignment (230554 April 2023) and Years 1–2 English conditions (230139-03 October 2023) indexed text were read; direct fresh PDFs returned 403, so remote bytes/layout are not verified. No Prep mapping or completed all-state overlay. ACARA/QCAA terms read current; no endorsement. Original prose/art is CC BY 4.0; code Apache-2.0; font is the actual upstream 3859-byte copyright/SHA, including whitespace.

E/F differ from ordinary K/L and prior Year 2 checks. All twelve new scored words were independently searched across prior Year 2 Markdown before use: absent. New rich sources and diagram geometry are isolated from ordinary lessons/art/home/extras. Separate key accepts source-supported purpose/details, defensible inference/uncertainty and different creative texts. It does not require a single ending or aggregate a mastery score. Each reading/dictation/morpheme/own-composition component is eligible or unsampled separately. Actual source listening is not independent rich-text reading.

## Actual rendered print review

All eight stored actual PDFs were individually rendered with Poppler at 90 dpi and viewed in full: harbour-scene, two-kinds, join-ideas, word-families, my-text-pair, reread-choose, fresh-e, fresh-f. Text fits, margins and blank response spaces remain readable, and source geometry matches the described limits. Drawing J has a boat left, mast/square flag, cloud above, arched bridge right and a horizontal imagined edge. E has one speaker above exactly three round buttons in a vertical column. F has two broad curtain panels, small closed door between and empty title box below. Added F curtain fold cues/door handle aid recognition; the changed actual full PDF was rerendered and viewed. Those illustration details are exact in alternatives but not compulsory answer facts. No hidden room, sound, functional radio, actual travel or performance is pictured.

Each PDF is searchable, one A4 page and untagged, with embedded fonts. Complete generated exact visible words and geometry/status/linear no-print/no-touch routes accompany every aid. Searchability does not establish screen-reader tagging or human access. Tactile analogues, if locally welcomed, are attributed models rather than fictional direct visual evidence.

## Actual offline preparation / preservation checks

No browser/interactive page is included or needed. The optional selector was actually run with an empty and fully declared local profile, ordinary list/day, both held teacher turns and both ordinary families. Every token map was independently checked under all/empty and every individual missing sound-value/familiar-word declaration: **1,189 comparisons**. Invalid/private/duplicate/unknown declarations and absent profile reject. Ordinary output excludes fresh words; held dictation reports eligibility without rehearsing targets. The helper does not write, contact a network or store child information; full paper selection is available.

Default audit and actual temporary regeneration compare 17 genuinely rebuilt outputs (8 SVG + 8 searchable PDF + exact alternatives). The meaningful fault suite rejects **54 faults: 51 semantic, 2 local links, 1 genuinely changed-generator reproduction**. Held byte pins are refreshed only in disposable semantic copies, so corrupt source/geometry rejection is substantive. Real top/nested cache files are excluded while authored LESSONS damage still changes manifest collection. All authored SHA/size/mtime are compared before/after default and fault checks; no cache is written in this leaf.

The fault harness initially carried an old README link label from its reusable mechanism; this was corrected before the final unchanged full run. Only final gates are claimed. Separate output generation used external temporary folders and compared actual stored bytes; the generator rejects protected/nonempty targets.

Runtime used: Python 3.12.3, Pillow 10.2.0, pypdf 5.1.0, librsvg 2.58.0, Poppler 26.05.0. Scoped Ruff lint/format and authored whitespace checks (narrow verbatim font exception) are run. An external final receipt records exact file SHA/bytes/mtime and gate output. No older/global/site/index files, git staging/commits, shared browser or frozen Year 1 files were edited.

## Human/local gates

Actual school taught-code/morpheme sequence, individual readiness/pronunciation, available support/material approval, consent/privacy, actual audience/source response if chosen, professional assessment/moderation, wider source/cultural permissions and state/sector overlays. No successful child result, independent writing, actual game, human trial or full-year readiness is supplied by these authored opportunities.
