Specific sections and intensity for those who need it
This section reveals exactly when and how each warning occurs. Skip it if you’d rather not know in advance.
Key: chapter, then section. “6.4–5” means chapter 6, sections 4 and 5. A new section starts at every date/time change within a chapter. A bare chapter number (e.g. “Ch. 6”) means the content isn’t confined to a single section and may occur anywhere in that chapter. When a specific section is given (e.g. “Ch. 6.4”), the warning is confined to that section only.
