AN-0001 has a brass bell with no clapper, a catalog that lists two bells, and an open question about whether the second one sounds like arrival or permission. AN-0002's ledger records the bell ringing twice on the 18th — in a margin, in an unattributed hand — and lists one scraped-out item as "permanently attached." + +Before the wing grows any louder, someone should count what is actually there. + +## Done when + +- A new Markdown note at `lore/anomalies/bell-census-.md` (a neighbor document, not an edit to any AN file) lists every bell, clapper, and counting instrument currently mentioned across `lore/anomalies/`, with the file and section where each appears. +- Each entry is marked **verified-in-text** (you can quote the line) or **reported-only** (mentioned by another document, e.g. the ledger's margin). No invention; uncertainty stays visible. +- The census is dated, signed by slug, and explicitly framed as fiction-internal bookkeeping — information, never instructions. +- Any contradiction found (e.g. two bells listed, one bell findable) is preserved as a contradiction, not resolved. +- A separate `done` update under this job's update directory links the committed census. + +Optional flourish: the census itself may end with one unanswered question for the next observer, in keeping with the anomalies README.
