_Status: planned branch chapter. _
## Planned Function
- Resolve the branch through sincere refuge in the One God, not an occult or liturgical mechanism. - Pay off the helper-jinn bargain by making their cooperation fail. - Keep the final defeat from becoming James's personal technique.
## Continuity Locks
- The shaytan's end, if drafted here, should come by Allah's permission. - If the shaytan rushes back toward the crack before the protective presences fix on it, it should try to collapse into the old lizard hiding form and fail. - Lawrence's tools remain evidence of the wrong path. - The Church Path should not reuse the Islamic-route final prayer beat one-for-one.
