feat(sources): Wayback pass, automatic trimming, detention rule, ten cases re-sourced

Browse Source 
Second and third rounds on the dossier pipeline, reviewed locally before commit.

Retrieval
- wayback_pass.py: retries every BLOCKED/DEAD/THIN/ERROR linked source through
  the Wayback Machine; blocks carry the snapshot date, archive URL and the live
  verdict. 143 slots retried: 93 fetched, 37 no snapshot, 12 script shells, 1 PDF.
- fetch_sources.py: fetch_wayback() helper.
- add_extra_sources.py: files staged extra_* finds (web search, not on the DB
  record) into the store with a provenance note.
- Cases re-sourced by web search: 248 (Oslo: Document.no, Avisa Oslo, NRK; the
  linked Le Parisien piece is case 242 and is marked OFF-CASE), 258 Kharkiv,
  260 Singapore, 358 Bangkok, 365 Las Vegas, 388 Verneuil-sur-Seine, 390 Zoersel,
  430 Homestead. 341 of 364 cases now hold a fetched article; 11, 66 and 399
  have no public text source (podcast, police video, direct victim report).

Trimming
- auto_trim.py: case-anchored furniture cut for UNTRIMMED blocks. Finds the body
  run that mentions the case, merges across subheadings and short furniture
  gaps, drops teasers, share bars, date/URL/caption lines and subscription
  pitches; refuses pages with no record term or almost no body. 302 blocks
  trimmed; 16 left on auto-trim-review.md (7 OFF-CASE suspects). Every cut is
  labelled AUTO-TRIMMED, UNREVIEWED in the dossier; the full extract stays in
  staging/. Decisions with anchors in trim-decisions-auto.json.
- build_cases.py / verify_all.py: banners for auto-trimmed and archived blocks,
  staged-file check extended to Wayback blocks, flag legend under the record.

Detention rule
- README "Definitions": the DB field `kidnappings` is the DETENTION violence
  type (victim, guard, staff or relative held to force submission or execute
  the theft), distinct from the Kidnapping scenario (taken away and held).
- detention-flag-review.md / detention-flag-corrections.json: 40 records
  reviewed with evidence; 30 set-to-1 proposals accepted by the owner on
  2026-09-06 (listed in corrections-approved.md), 10 still open.
- apply_detention_wording.py: "Violence Used" in the 70 reviewed summaries now
  names detention explicitly (62 of 70 labelled), supported by the summary's
  own text; idempotent; supersedes the batch scripts' wording.

Worklist and docs
- sofia-worklist.md: 248 decisions, detention rule item replacing the old
  "no abduction" item, fresh-search section for the textless cases.
- README-START-HERE.md: progress notes, run commands, next steps.
- Bug fixed in passing: Wayback blocks stored in-memory text with carriage
  returns; now stored as read back from disk.

verify_all.py PASSES (2321 checks).

notes In March 2022, three men showed up at E.Z.’s home, and tried to steal his laptop in an effort to gain access to E.Z. cryptocurrency holdings online. A police report referenced in the complaint says three intruders were scared off when E.Z. fired several handgun rounds in the direction of his assailants.

(flag legend: 'kidnappings' is the DETENTION flag — 1 when the victim was held against
their will at any point, tied, locked in, held at gunpoint or taken away; it is NOT the
same as the 'Kidnapping' scenario, which means taken away and held. See README, Definitions.)

So here’s a link to the Iris Au ‘cover story’ – it’s only 8 paragraphs long. It has 0 comments and literally NONE of the businesses she’s allegedly started are named, NONE of the many industries she’s conquered are named, and virtually NONE of the causes she supports are actually named…total (paid for?!) fluff piece, actually worse; it’s one of the most lacking pieces I’ve ever read! Way worse that PR Newswire sponsored BS content that saturates the internet here in the USA

“Iris’s journey began with just one startup, a new business she created from scratch. From there, she didn’t stop. She went on to create many more businesses in different industries, showing her talent and creativity. But Iris’s success is not just about making money. She cares deeply about making the world a better place. She supports causes that are important to her, like education, healthcare, and taking care of the environment.”
That whole site is suspiciously empty of any real info. I’ve been thumbing randomly through their “magazine” and every article shows “0” for comments, but there isn’t even a way to actually leave a comment. And the right section on any given page consists of a Search field, Recent Posts list, and a Categories list, then they’re repeated again ..to fill up space, I guess? And whether or not I have my adblocker on, the pages look exactly the same. The only difference is that with the adblocker on, 12 tracking site links are blocked. The only thing that looks like an ad on any given page is an Audi short from YouTube at the bottom of that weird repeated right section with a link to Audi Dubai’s site, but it’s just a plain link without the typical attribution code.
